The Council says–
With new housing developments underway in Waikanae North, a new roundabout is being built on Old SH1 between Waikanae and Peka Peka to improve safety and traffic flow. The developer is constructing this roundabout to meet their requirement to provide safe and appropriate access to the site.
Construction will begin early March on the northbound lane before shifting to the southbound lane in April. Stop/go traffic management will be in place. The roundabout is expected to fully open at the end of May.
By 2050, we expect another 32,000 people to call Kapiti home. This means carefully planning housing, infrastructure, and services to support our community’s future.
Since you do not really cover Otaki then you may not know of the Mill Road / Aotaki Street roading scandal that has been brewing and about to explode.
While roadworks are being done in Waikanae – Paraparaumu in the midnite hours apparently, Otaki may have to wait until October to have road sealing work finished by third rate contractors. But the main thing for the council is that these people are cheap. Not doubt the more worthwhile crews are working south of us. We up here are getting rather tired of paying full price for admission only to be relegated to the poor seats. Somethings got to give sooner or later…
