The work we did

We improved footpath safety on Parkhurst Road, Parakai with safer, convenient and well-connected walking options locally.

This was part of our Walking Programme which commits to encouraging safe walking in your neighbourhood.

The improvements included:

  • Installing new footpaths and kerbs on the western side of Parkhurst Road, extending the footpath by 350 meters between the driveways of 199 and 241 Parkhurst Road.
  • Reconstructing driveways that will be impacted by the new footpath. Any work that alters a driveway shall be at our cost.
  • Improvements to the existing crossing island outside 199 Parkhurst Road including:
  • Widening the pram crossings on both sides. This helps people crossing to safely wait for a gap in traffic (while giving way to motorists) to finish crossing the road.
  • Installing tactile pavers, which are yellow guidance paving markers, to help the visually impaired cross safely.
  • Clearing vegetation and removing and relocating some trees to clear access for people using the footpath
  • Install new streetlights for improved safety at night for people on foot.
