New crossing at Killarney Rd ready for action

The Team from Hamilton City Council

The crossing point has had a Stop/Go operation in place in recent weeks while the signals have been integrated with the KiwiRail crossing, but this work has now been completed. Traffic signals will indicate when pedestrians or people on bikes are crossing and railway signals and barrier arms will be used to alert for trains. Motorists are reminded to stop on red lights to allow pedestrians to cross, and not to park on the rail lines, even if no train has been signalled. The work completes the crossing points for the Western Rail Trail, one of the key projects in Hamilton’s Biking Plan.

Looking for old router

Ganga from Hamilton East

Hi neighbours... I am looking for an old/unused NON-ADSL router that you may have lying around and have no more use for.

I am looking for an old/unused NON-ADSL router that you may have lying around and have no more use for. The office of a local community organisation where I volunteer has very poor WiFi from the building owners (a church), so I am going to convert one of their LAN points into a local wireless network. This will help them connect their phones, tablets and laptops for internet access. Currently, the connection is so poor that everyone uses their data plan instead.

Please note that I need a standard router and not the ones used with ADSL plans (the connection port is different). If you have been using fibre broadband or perhaps a router that was used in an office with LAN access, the router is likely what I'm looking for.

Thanks in advance, guys!

Traffic choke points in city

Matt Bowen Reporter from Waikato Times

Afternoon everyone,

Four Hamilton "choke points" are in the sights of a city councillor who says the traffic flow needs to be fixed.

And council experts agree that growth is putting more pressure on Hamilton roads than ever before.

Are there any intersections or roundabouts that really grind your gears? Also, are there any other traffic/driving/etiquette related gripes that you'd like to share?

We're hoping to get an idea of what really gets up the noses of city drivers.

NOTE: Add NFP to your comment if you do not want to be quoted in any follow up articles on the topic.

New pumps improve western water supply

The Team from Hamilton City Council

Just a heads-up that some homes in the Dinsdale/Nawton area may have some water pressure fluctuations in the next few days as we install new pumps at the Dinsdale reservoir. The work will improve consistency of supply for around 2000 homes, and we are replacing the two existing pumps with three, … View moreJust a heads-up that some homes in the Dinsdale/Nawton area may have some water pressure fluctuations in the next few days as we install new pumps at the Dinsdale reservoir. The work will improve consistency of supply for around 2000 homes, and we are replacing the two existing pumps with three, which means we will have better resilience in the network.

As we connect the new pumps to the network and flush the pipes there may be ‘sputtering’ of taps or the water may look a little cloudy as air works through the system.
