Transport projects planned for Papakura
Lighting around Papakura train station will be enhanced after the local board allocated nearly $70,000 to three transport projects.
A new bus shelter will be installed outside Rosehill Intermediate and way-finding signage will be erected at the station.
The shelter has been allocated $40,000, the signage $11,000, and safety lighting in the laneways closest to the station $18,799.
Board chair Brent Catchpole said the shelter would cater for a high number of school students and give them a safer area to wait for the bus.
A 2018 report revealed lighting issues near the town centre, including laneways with little lighting, he said.
“We will be able to install modern lighting to a number of sites.
“Better lighting is going to make people feel more confident walking in and around the station and we want to do our part to support residents using the train to take cars off our streets.”

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
