PEGASUS POST Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz Tuesday February 4 2020 3 News Red zone idea for quake-damaged road • By Louis Day CITY COUNCILLOR Phil Mauger has made a bid to get parts of an earthquake-battered road in the eastern suburbs relocated to the red zone. Cr Mauger said parts of New Brighton Rd should be moved 30m to higher ground in the red zone away from the Avon River. This makes more sense than Phil Mauger the ongoing patch-up costs ratepayers face when the river floods in high tides and heavy rain, and damages the road, he said. Cr Mauger said as a result of his idea the city council put a $1 million planned maintenance spend on New Brighton Rd between Bower Ave and Wattle Drive on hold. Said Cr Mauger: “New Brighton Rd should be moved 30m north up into the red zone property. This would mean that the new New Brighton Rd could be constructed at a higher level to avoid flooding then move the stopbank back to cover old New Brighton Rd. “It is an insult to people in the east’s intelligence to spend a mill patching an old road that will continue to flood when the same money could be put toward a new higher one that would be much more suitable.” Cr Mauger said relocation of New Brighton Rd to red zone land would be a priority for himself and the Coastal- Burwood Community Board he sits on. ‘Just slapping paint on something that is buggered is not the way’ – Phil Mauger “Every community board has six things they want to achieve this term, this is one of RADICAL: City councillor Phil Mauger wants to relocate New Brighton Rd onto red zone land to stop it from flooding. our priorities. “Just slapping paint on something that is buggered is not the way.” City council head of transport Richard Osborne said if New Brighton Rd was to be relocated the project would need to be added to the next Long Term Plan which will be reviewed next year.
