Having your say on the Nelson Future Access Project

Have your say on a proposed safe and effective transport network for Nelson.

Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency is working with Nelson City Council (NCC), local iwi and the community to develop a package of improvements to address transport issues in Nelson over the next 30 years.

Our first drop-in session is tomorrow (Thursday). See details below. At the drop-in sessions you can view our maps and provide your feedback on the spot.

You will recall that last year the community was asked for feedback on long-term options for Nelson. his time, feedback is being sought on shorter-term improvements. This includes intersection improvements, walking and cycling paths, and proposed traffic calming to enhance neighbourhoods and improve safety.

There is opportunity to provide feedback on walking and cycling improvements for Rocks Road. And feedback is also being sought on options for replacing the seawall.

The proposal has been developed to meet the Government’s expectations to reduce emissions, connect communities and improve safety, and to align with Nelson City Council’s vision for the future.

No matter how you travel around Nelson, these future plans will be of interest to you.
