Plain-English summary
Wellington City Council proposes a revised package of safety and accessibility changes on Brooklyn Road and Ohiro Road. It includes permanent cycle lanes, a new pedestrian crossing, path upgrades, altered bus stops and changes to on-street parking.
The design was reduced after government co-funding and council budgets changed. The council says it should retain about 80% of the benefits of the earlier approved design for about one third of its construction cost, and is consulting again before making further decisions.
Why it matters
The proposal changes how road space is allocated along a busy corridor and would permanently remove 37 parking spaces while adding 18 angled spaces on Helen Street.
The revised design is intended to retain most of the earlier project's safety and access benefits at substantially lower cost.
