Gibbons Street wastewater pipe project
We are moving into the fourteenth week of the 24 week project to renew the wastewater pipe in Gibbons Street, Upper Hutt. The new wastewater pipe will provide a higher level of resilience for seismic events and accommodate future growth in the area.
On 4 June 2019, the main traffic to SH2 will be detoured at McParland Street to Pine Avenue and Riverbank Street to get onto Gibbons Street (green arrow). The main traffic exiting SH2 will be detoured around the roundabout to Riverbank Street to Pine Avenue and McParland Street to get back onto Gibbons Street (red arrow).
In doing our work, the bus stops will be relocated to the north side of Bonnie Glen Crescent. This means that the bus stops outside No. 87 and 84 Gibbons Street will be temporarily relocated north of Bonnie Glen Crescent and buses diverted via the Crescent (purple arrow).
Residents on Gibbons Street, Hall Grove and Bonnie Glen Crescent will continue to have access to their properties; although access may be restricted when the worksite is directly in front of properties. We will be in touch with those property owners well before this happens.
On-street parking in the area alongside the worksite will be restricted and we ask you to please not park your vehicle within the coned areas. This will help us to get our work done as quickly as possible. The worksite will extend between either end of Bonnie Glen Crescent, but will not affect traffic entering from either end of the Crescent.

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
