Changes in response to stakeholder and community feedback

From April 2023, we began engaging with residents, businesses, organisations and schools about planned improvements for pedestrians, people biking and buses along these streets.

As a result of what we’ve heard in these conversations, we have made over 100 changes in our proposed designs, including:

• Improved kerbs, crossings, raised pedestrian crossings, and other accessibility considerations
• Additional parking, including residential and mobility parking
• A median refuge crossing at Karori shopping centre (near the BP)
• New car parks on road reserve near the Talavera Tennis Club
• A mobility park on Chaytor Street
• Additional short-term parking near Marsden School
• Raised safety platforms across Campbell and Raine streets

As part of our engagement, we’ve worked with groups in the community and stakeholders to refine the proposed designs and hear their views.

These groups included:

• Churches
• Emergency services
• Friends of the Botanic Gardens
• Karori Business Improvement District
• Local businesses along the main route
• Karori primary and secondary schools
• Karori Residents’ Association
• Karori residents with accessibility needs
• Metlink
• Sports clubs
• Zealandia
