Roading change to Rangiora Ave
WCC consultation process for Plan 45 is very concerning for both Sovereign Point and Rangiora Avenue owners. Submissions close 15 December
Essentially, as part of LGWM - Council are proposing to put up a median strip along the length of the Hutt Road to create new bus lanes on either side of the road prohibiting traffic from turning right to the City at the bottom of our street and forcing -
1. All Sovereign and Rangiora traffic to turn left, drive back towards Johnsonville and then execute a tricky U - turn in to what will now be one lane of condensed car traffic and
2. Forcing all traffic from Ngaranga Gorge coming down the Hutt Road into one lane and similarly forcing Onslow Road traffic to merge in the condensed one lane and also for traffic at the bottom of Kaiwharawhara Road.
If you feel strongly on the issue - why don't you -
Contact your local Councillor - Dianne Calvert
