Cr Keown said the news last week was a “huge weight off his shoulders” after campaigning to upgrade the intersection for more than two years. Previously Cr Keown offered $100 to anyone who could come forward and name another intersection in the city without lights that has 10 lanes converging. A report with several options to upgrade the intersection will go before the Fendalton-Waimairi- Harewood Community Board in September. In the mayor’s Long Term Plan recommendations released last week, Lianne Dalziel said city council staff would report back to the community board with one preferred upgrade option. However, in a meeting on Friday, Cr Keown fought for an amendment to the recommendation. •Turn to page 6 BLINDS...Cleaned, Repaired & Restored...
