This project will
Provide safer crossings for pedestrians and people on bikes
Improve the bike network connectivity
Increase visibility at a busy crossing
Project Summary
What we're doing
We’re installing new pedestrian/bike level crossings at the Claudelands East intersection, and at Brooklyn Road/Claudelands Road (east end).
The upgrades include:
- new fencing to create a maze, which improves people’s field of vision
- new signals and lights
- automatic pedestrian gates, to increase safety for people crossing the railway line
- new trail matting within the railway corridor to reduce trip and slip hazards.
Why we're doing it
A Level Crossing Safety Impact Assessment (LCSIA) recommended automatic pedestrian/bike gates at the rail crossings, as we are expecting an increase in the number of people walking and biking in the coming years.
We are also expecting increased future use of the rail line prompted by development in the city such as the Ruakura inland port.
