Road works - Iver Trask Place from 15 January
Kia ora Kāpiti. Our contractors will be working soon on the footpath and kerb and channel by the Amohia stormwater project yard on Iver Trask Place. To allow this work to happen safely, Iver Trask Place will be down to one-way for traffic from Monday 15 January, for up to three weeks.
This means...
🚧 Traffic from Rimu Road can access Iver Trask Place as normal, and exit either back onto Rimu Road or to Ngahina Street and Brett Ambler Way.
🚧 Traffic entering Iver Trask Place from Ngahina Street or Brett Ambler Way will not be able to travel through to Rimu Road.
🚧 During this time if you wish to park right in front of the Paraparaumu Library or Council's Civic Building, please enter from Rimu Road.

Driven On The Akatarawa Rd Lately?
If so, its good to know you are still alive and reading this.
We have a function to go to over Christmas up that way and having heard a few hairy stories about the road, I went up there on Thursday to check it out. The road's ok, narrow and winding, but not much worse than a Wellington hill suburb. What was pretty scary was the behavior of other drivers. Three vehicles heading the other way at speed would have crashed into me if I hadn't been pulled off the road. I had pulled in to check the address when a truck came flying past, taking up all of the narrow road at speed. There is no way the driver would have been able to stop had they come around the corner immediately in front of me. The other two drivers came hurtling past as I had turned in to turn around and come back down the hill. They were also driving at speed and taking up most of the road. Coming back down I passed another car coming up and estimate that the safe speed to pass another car was about 30-35 kms.p.h. So, now we're thinking, do we go to the function or not.? Feels a bit like we're taking our life in our hands going up there. Drivers appear to be overconfident, and they are courting serious injury.
