SH1 Oamaru to Dunedin safety improvements
Hello
Thank you for your involvement to date as we progress this project.
We’ve had great conversations with people in the community and commuters about making the road between Waitaki River and Dunedin safer.
We held a series of community drop-in sessions in Dunedin, Waikouaiti, Hampden and Oamaru in April to share our ideas and find out more from people who use the road. We also attended A&P Shows in Palmerston and Oamaru as well as Blueskin On Show to talk to the community.
We wanted to find out what makes the road feel unsafe and what people think could make this road safer.
About 360 people came to talk to us at these events. We also received 214 online comments, 30 emails, letters and phone calls and more than 100 messages via social media.
This feedback is really important to us. We use it alongside our research to make sure we haven’t missed anything and that the safety improvements we decide on are the right ones for the community and for people travelling along the road.
Since the community drop-in event we have been talking with key stakeholders to add to the feedback and information we got from the public to make sure we have got the full picture.
You can find a summary of the feedback we have received to date here. This is a reflection of what we have heard, what people were concerned about and options that gained support.
We’ll make final decisions on safety improvements for this road and share them with you and the community later this year.
