Fendalton Road go-ahead
The City Council has been given the go-ahead from the
Environment Court for its plans to make significant
improvements to Fendalton Road. The road works, first
proposed over 40 years ago, involve changing the road
between the railway and Clyde Road from two lanes to
four. The new $4 million scheme is likely to begin in August.
It will deliver a landscaped median, cycle lanes, and visitor
parking among the existing trees where possible. The
project also includes providing off-street parking to serve
the needs of visitors to St Barnabas Church. One part of
the plan — whether the Council can put a left-turn lane
on Fendalton Road into Glandovey Road — has still to
be ruled on, but the Environment Court has ordered that
the Council can proceed with the rest of the work while
that question is being resolved. Local residents will get
information about when work will start in their area. |
