'Nuisance' street project in Henderson cost $1.3m
Kia ora neighbours, a council-led project aimed at making Henderson safer, which led to community backlash, cost ratepayers and taxpayers more than $1.3 million.
The Henderson Streets for People trial was launched in May and included a traffic flow plan, which redirected traffic to Alderman Drive, artwork at the intersection of Great North Rd, Railside Ave and Ratanui St, a trial of bus-only lanes, and “safe shared paths” for people on bikes and scooters.
The trial was opposed by many locals and business owners, with two protests and an online petition of more than 5000 signatures.
At the time, residents labelled the trial a “nuisance” and said the changes had caused traffic “chaos”.
