The public has a chance to have their say on changes along Neilson Street in Onehunga.

The improvements are designed to improve travel times and ease congestion. They are part of the local transport improvements of the East West Connections project and are designed to provide benefits for local road users including freight.

Proposed changes

• Creating a clearway and no stopping zone (broken yellow lines) on Neilson Street between Alfred and Angle Streets from 6am-7pm  Monday to Friday. This would not apply on weekends and evenings
• Marking out four lanes on the existing Neilson Street
• Installing a new 3-metre footpath alongside Waikaraka Park to Captain Springs Road
• Adding a timber boardwalk alongside the park to link to the new footpath
• Installing a new sign at Waikaraka Park
• Installing new pedestrian crossings at Captain Springs Road.

Construction is planned to start later this year and be completed by December. The work is part wider improvements in the area.
