Papakōwhai shared path and intersection upgrade
Come along to our drop-in session and find out more about the new Papakōwhai Road shared path & Whitford Brown Avenue intersection upgrade.
Where and when:
Tuesday 19 September between 6 & 8pm
Papakōwhai School staff room, 17 Spey Place, Papakōwhai
What’s happening?
We’re connecting schools, parks and public transport with a new shared path along Papakōwhai Road and we’re also upgrading the intersection at Whitford Brown Avenue.
Both projects will make it easier for people to get around the city. All going well construction is planned to start in November 2023 and finish in winter 2024.
The Papakōwhai Road shared path is fully funded from the Government’s Transport Choices Programme, led by Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency.
Moe mai rā, Nicholas.

After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
John is happy to answer questions about lawn mowing, tree/hedge trimming, tidying your garden, ride on mowing, you name it! He'll be online on Wednesday, 27th of November to answer them all.
