Walkway accessing marina open<br />
YOU CAN now walk, cycle,<br />
run or scooter directly from<br />
Norwich Quay in Lyttelton to<br />
Te Ana Marina.<br />
The pathway from Norwich<br />
Quay along Sutton Quay<br />
includes two pedestrian<br />
crossings. This creates a<br />
direct link from Lyttelton to<br />
Te Ana Marina, Canterbury’s<br />
only walk-on floating<br />
marina.<br />
The new development is<br />
part of Lyttelton Port Company’s<br />
commitment to open<br />
the west side of the harbour<br />
as a space for the community<br />
to enjoy.<br />
When the project was announced<br />
last year, Deputy<br />
Mayor and city councillor for<br />
the Banks Peninsula Ward<br />
Andrew Turner said he was<br />
excited to see the Lyttelton<br />
community gain additional<br />
access to the waterfront.<br />
“Whakaraupō/Lyttelton<br />
<strong>Harbour</strong> is a special place to<br />
many people.<br />
“I’m looking forward to<br />
seeing more families and<br />
visitors down on the waterfront<br />
this summer – this is<br />
the perfect spot for a picnic, a<br />
walk along the promenade or<br />
a chance to take in the stunning<br />
harbour views.”<br />
LPC’s general manager engagement<br />
and sustainability<br />
Phil de Joux said since Te<br />
Ana Marina was opened by<br />
the port in 2018, it has been<br />
fantastic to see the community<br />
use the recreational area as<br />
a space to connect and enjoy.<br />
“Before the pathway was<br />
in place, there was no pedestrian<br />
access from Sutton<br />
Quay to Te Ana Marina,<br />
meaning people either used<br />
the stairs from Simeon<br />
Quay to the back of Te Ana<br />
Marina, or walked down to<br />
Godley Quay.<br />
“We’re thrilled to be able to<br />
make accessing Te Ana Marina<br />
that little bit easier for the<br />
community and visitors to<br />
Lyttelton, and look forward<br />
to seeing more people enjoy<br />
the waterfront.”<br />
Due to the construction of<br />
the pathway, the Sutton Quay<br />
gate has been relocated. This<br />
gate is used by a number of<br />
port operators to access inner<br />
harbour operations such as<br />
fishing vessels.<br />
Vehicles will still use Sutton<br />
Quay to access the port<br />
and users of the walkway are<br />
being told to follow signage<br />
in place and to stay alert<br />
when using the crossings.<br />
CONVENIENT: Lyttelton resident<br />
Annabel, 10, (right) who lives on the<br />
west side of the harbour, can use<br />
the new path to walk to school, as<br />
well as visit her friend Lulu, 10, who<br />
lives in Lyttelton. <br />
Retaining wall<br />
work to start<br />
ROADWORKS along Simeon Quay<br />
and Coleridge Tce in Lyttelton are<br />
set to cause disruption for the next<br />
few months.<br />
Work will start early next month<br />
to replace the ageing retaining wall<br />
that supports part of Simeon Quay.<br />
A new concrete wall will be put in<br />
place and the quay will be partially<br />
reconstructed. It is expected to take<br />
between four to six months to complete,<br />
weather dependent.<br />
City council head of transport,<br />
Richard Osborne said: “The<br />
contractor is going to have crews<br />
working around the clock on the<br />
project. On some nights, Simeon<br />
Quay will be reduced to one lane<br />
and traffic will be controlled by<br />
stop/go signs. This will cause<br />
delays, particularly for west-bound<br />
traffic.”<br />
A retaining wall supporting<br />
Coleridge Tce will also be replaced<br />
starting in February, expected to<br />
take around 16 weeks to complete.<br />
During this time, access to the terrace<br />
will only be via the west end,<br />
by London St.<br />
A traffic management plan will<br />
be put in place and road users are<br />
being told to expect delays.<br />
“If you live in Lyttelton or travel<br />
through the area, please bear that<br />
in mind as you may need to factor<br />
some extra journey time into your<br />
plans,” said Osborne.<br />
