On behalf of the Northland Regional Council, we carried out public transport improvements to make the public bus stops safer, easier to access and more appealing to our customers across eight sites in the Onerahi area:
- Waimahanga Road / Old Onerahi Road intersection
- Old Onerahi Road / Kokich Crescent intersection
- Ross Street / Sherwood Road intersection
- 71 Ross Street
- Ross Street / Old Onerahi Road intersection
- 69 Church Street
- Church Street / Hill Street intersection
- McKenzie Avenue.
The project included installing new seats and shelters, minor footpath and drainage connections to improve bus stop locations, new and improved signage and road markings, trimming and removing vegetation, and other concrete works to make the selected bus stops easier to see and safer.
These improvements were focused on bus stops that form part of school bus routes and other areas where safety issues had been identified (for example, drivers reporting near-miss incidents).
