About the project
The upgrades include:

- installing handrails
- new road marking and priority control at the narrow section of Rangiora Avenue
- improving traffic flow by installing ‘No Stopping At All Times’ restrictions.
Updates
May 2021
After our planting work we started construction of the staircase to connect Rangiora Avenue with Hutt Road.
As weather allows we will continue working on the steep slope to construct the staircase and this is due for completion by the end of May.
February-March 2021
The new alignment required the removal of one tree, and we planted another tree in its place. We also removed several pest plants in the area.
November 2020
We redesigned the staircase alignment to ensure the protection of several Pohutukawa trees on the slope.
