Christchurch subdivision could become major traffic thoroughfare
Residents of a sleepy Christchurch neighbourhood fear new connecting roads will make it a busy commuter route.
The small subdivision of Cameo Grove lies in northeast Christchurch, near Burwood Hospital. A street there, also called Cameo Grove, is at present split into east and west.
In consultation with the Christchurch City Council, Prestons Park developer CDL Land plans to connect the two parts of the street and join both to Katrine Drive to the north.
Residents in the cul-de-sac say connecting the roads will make the area a shortcut for commuters using the busy Mairehau and Burwood roads.
