About the project
Walking Forward Together: Clevedon Village pedestrian safety improvements (Site 1 and 2)
We’ve heard your voices and, together with the Clevedon Community and Business Association, the Franklin Local Board and Clevedon School, we’ve worked to shape a safer, more accessible village for everyone. This collaborative effort has identified two locations and specific changes designed to support walkability and meet the needs of our growing community.
We invite you to help shape the final design by sharing your feedback on the proposed changes.
You can help shape this project. Let’s walk this Together.
Here's what we’re proposing to do:
Outside Clevedon Superette (Site 1)
- Install a new zebra crossing at road level, with side islands, between the Hawthorn Munro building and the Superette, which is identified as the busiest informal crossing point in the village.
- Provide a new footpath in front of Clevedon Dairy to guide pedestrians away from walking behind parked cars.
- Removal of the existing planted pram crossing next to the cemetery to provide additional 2-3 parking spaces.
- Apply high friction surfacing on the approaches to the new crossing to improve safety.
- Improve line marking, signage and lighting where needed to support pedestrian safety.
- Apply the 10-minute parking (P10) rule outside the shops at 16 Papakura–Clevedon Road.
There are no other changes to the existing on-street parking near the shops.
At 30 North Road, near Clevedon School (Site-2):
- Install a new pedestrian refuge and footpath on the northern boundary of Clevedon School to improve walkability and safety for students and residents travelling between Clevedon School, the northern end of the village, and the Taitaia Stream walkway.
- Reprioritise six on-street parking spaces outside 17 and 19 North Road as “no stopping at all times” zones, and marked with broken yellow lines, to enhance visibility.
- Remove the existing pram crossing and close the current cut-through near the North Road and Mark William Place intersection.
- Enhance line marking, signage, and lighting to further support pedestrian safety.
