Hillcrest Road crossing

What we're doing

We will be constructing a raised pedestrian crossing on Hillcrest Road outside St John’s College, to provide students and the community with a safe place to cross to access the school, university, and bus stops.

Construction will commence on Monday 6 May 2024 and will take four weeks to complete, weather dependent. Hours of work will be from Monday to Friday, 7am to 6pm.

Why we’re doing it

Council has a focus to provide a transport network that helps connect people and places in safe, accessible, and smart ways. We have adopted ‘Vision Zero’ as a philosophy for road safety, meaning we aim to achieve zero deaths and serious injuries on our city’s roads. This philosophy is one of the key outcomes in our transport strategy Access Hamilton – Ara Kootuitui Kirikiriroa.
