Permanent zebra-crossing to be installed on Vine Street
We're installing a permanent zebra-crossing on Vine Street in the central city.
The temporary "courtesy crossing" has created a better link to the city from the bus hub and car park, as well as reducing speeding and letting people cross the road more safely. Now Vine Street is booming - the shop-fronts are near full occupancy and whether it's baking, gyms, op shops or something else, there are plenty of reasons to visit. You can also wander through The Strand arcade or Quality Street to access Cameron Street and the central city, and the foot-traffic is great for the many small businesses that have set up in the area.
The construction work starts on 13 May 2024 and will take about 3 weeks. At times during construction, Vine Street will be reduced to one-lane with stop/go control.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
