Central City Walking Improvements

Creating a better environment for walking, to make the central city safer and a more enjoyable place to spend time in.

About this project 

We’re planning small intersection changes on Wellington city streets to make it safer, quicker and easier to cross the road and improve access to and from the waterfront.  
This will also encourage more people to get around the city by foot and decrease private vehicle use.  

Why change is needed 

These improvements will help to create an accessible city for everyone, including people using wheelchairs, people with prams and small children, people with limited mobility and people who have visual impairment. 
This work is weather dependent and in the event of unsuitable weather or other unforeseen circumstances, the work will possibly be delayed.  

Where this project is happening 

We are implementing changes at multiple city intersections on three road corridors. We chose these intersections because many people use them, they intersect with some of the busiest roads in the city and they involve long delays to cross. 

Changes are located in the following areas:

Waterfront route (Waterloo, Customhouse and Jervois Quays) between Bunny Street and the City to Sea Bridge

Jervois Quay & Harris Intersection Changes
