Getting<br />
to school<br />
safely a<br />
priority<br />
• From page 1<br />
These changes have been<br />
prioritised to make it safer for<br />
children to get to and from<br />
school, following the city council’s<br />
approval of a revised version of<br />
the safe speed neighbourhood<br />
proposal in July last year.<br />
The city council started to<br />
change speeds and signage<br />
around schools in Christchurch in<br />
mid-September, and over the next<br />
two years will be lowering speeds<br />
around every school.<br />
Other areas across the city will<br />
have lower speeds implemented<br />
over the next 10 years as funding<br />
becomes available through the<br />
speed management plan.<br />

Stormwater work under way<br />
REPAIR WORK on stormwater<br />
mains beneath Ferry Rd has led<br />
to temporary changes to traffic<br />
movement and parking in the<br />
area.<br />
The city council’s stormwater<br />
work is under way and is<br />
expected to be completed<br />
by the end of <strong>February</strong>, with<br />
underground relining work<br />
further along Ferry Rd to follow.<br />
Works include enlarging<br />
manholes on Ferry Rd, which<br />
requires the excavation of<br />
Ferry Rd near the intersection<br />
of Ensors Rd and Aldwins Rd,<br />
to provide better access to the<br />
stormwater mains.<br />
The access is needed for the<br />
next phase of the project, which<br />
involves relining the existing<br />
pipe. Workers will return to<br />
the intersection in March to<br />
complete the underground<br />
stormwater repairs.<br />
City council head of three<br />
waters Brent Smith said the<br />
council appreciates the patience<br />
and understanding of motorists<br />
and business owners in the<br />
area.<br />
“The stormwater mains<br />
work is critical and needs to be<br />
done over the summer while<br />
water flows are at their lowest.<br />
Unfortunately, the disruption<br />
to businesses and motorists<br />
cannot be avoided as this work is<br />
essential. We’re doing our best to<br />
make the disruption as minimal<br />
as possible.”<br />
All traffic lanes on Ferry Rd,<br />
Ensors Rd and Aldwins Rd<br />
will have speed restrictions of<br />
30km/h near the construction<br />
sites, while work is under way.<br />
There are right-turning<br />
restrictions at the intersection<br />
and side roads; there are no<br />
right turns from Ferry Rd into<br />
Aldwins Rd (coming from<br />

the east) and into Ensors Rd<br />
(coming from the west).<br />
Businesses in the area remain<br />
open, and customers can<br />
access businesses via Ferry Rd.<br />
Customers can also park on<br />
Frederick St.<br />
Traffic signals and cables are<br />
also being replaced at the Ferry<br />
Rd, Ensors Rd and Aldwins Rd<br />
intersection.<br />
Safe speed platforms will be<br />
installed at the intersection and<br />
the additional transport work<br />
is expected to begin at the end<br />
of <strong>February</strong> and take about five<br />
weeks.<br />
