An update on the Woolston Village UpgradeKia ora from Woolston Village Upgrade team. Appointing a contractorLast year, we invited construction companies to submit proposals to lead the Woolston Village works. Applications closed in February and our team has been busy reviewing some outstanding proposals from a number of experienced contractors. Meet the contractor sessionsOnce we award a lead contractor, we’ll hold 'Meet the Contractor' sessions to introduce the project team to the local community. Stay up to date with news and updatesWe've set up a webpage with information about the upgrade and will be sending out regular newsletters as the project progresses. If you know anyone who would like to receive these newsletters, please ask them to sign up here, or email WoolstonVillage@ccc.govt.nz. Thanks for your patience while we upgrade Woolston Village. Key features of the upgradeWe’re upgrading Woolston Village and part of Ferry Road. This will make the village a safer and more attractive place to walk, bike and drive. We’re renewing underground wastewater pipes at the same time to minimise disruption to the public. A place to parkThere will be 55 on-street car park spaces on this section of Ferry Road plus time-restricted parking to allow for higher turnover. A place for walkingWider footpaths and improved crossing facilities in the village, including signal controlled crossings & upgraded street lighting. Lower speed limitsThe speed limit will be lowered to 30km/h on Ferry Road between Portman Street and St Anne’s School.
