Heathcote Residents<br />
Association committee member<br />
Jackie Foulkes said many<br />
people she had spoken to in<br />
the community would love<br />
have a neighbourhood dairy to<br />
purchase everyday items.<br />
“Personally I think it’s great to<br />
be able to walk down and get an<br />
ice cream on a sunny day.”<br />
The nearest dairy is currently<br />
several kilometres away in<br />
Opawa Rd.<br />
Some people were also keen to<br />
have a fish and chip shop in the<br />
community, Ms Foulkes said.<br />
Ms Tait said it was too soon to<br />
say definitely what type of shop<br />
would open.<br />
TRAFFIC DELAYS on Brittan<br />
Tce in Lyttelton have prompted<br />
proposed changes to the<br />
intersection with Simeon Quay.<br />
The city council is seeking<br />
community feedback about<br />
the proposals, which it hopes<br />
will improve traffic flows and<br />
pedestrian safety.<br />
The proposed changes involve<br />
removing the stopping restriction<br />
on Brittan Tce to allow vehicles<br />
to continue on to Simeon<br />
Quay; no entry to Simeon Quay<br />
west from Brittan Tce so traffic<br />
can flow from Brittan Tce to<br />
Simeon Quay; and no throughroute<br />
to Simeon Quay west<br />
heading from Lyttelton. Vehicles<br />
would need to use Brittan Tce<br />
and Voelas Rd instead.<br />
The city council said the volume<br />
of traffic entering and exiting<br />
Brittan Tce from Simeon Quay<br />
was a lot greater than straightthrough<br />
traffic and the existing<br />
intersection layout caused delays<br />
on Brittan Tce, with the majority<br />
of traffic waiting to turn right on<br />
to Simeon Quay.<br />
To increase pedestrian safety<br />
at the intersection, a continuation<br />
of the path from Brittan Tce<br />
across to Simeon Quay would be<br />
installed, along with new kerb<br />
build outs on Brittan Tce and<br />
Simeon Quay to slow vehicles<br />
travelling through this intersection.<br />
The city council will be holding<br />
a drop-in session on December<br />
7 between 4pm and 6pm in<br />
the Lyttelton community board<br />
room, Canterbury St.<br />
•Feedback can also<br />
be given at www.ccc.<br />
govt/haveyoursay until<br />
December 14.<br />
