Snapshot of the key proposed changes
-
New Barnes Dance crossing (where all pedestrians cross the road at once) at the SH88 St Andrew Street/SH1 Cumberland Street intersection to help people reach the hospital public entrances safely.
-
Remove the westbound right turn from SH88 St Andrew Street onto SH1 Cumberland Street to make space and time for the increased number of pedestrians, including people with mobility needs, to cross the road.
-
Two new signalised pedestrian crossings on SH1 outside the Woolworths and the Centre City New World supermarkets.
-
Changes to St Andrew Street and other nearby streets to help people driving, walking and cycling, and emergency vehicles, move safely and smoothly around the hospital and surrounding area.
-
Left in and left out only turns are proposed to increase safety at the St Andrew/Leith Street and Frederick/Leith Street intersections.
-
Move SH88 from St Andrew to Frederick Street.
-
Timing - we aim to deliver this work over the next 2–5 years, depending on funding and consents.
The proposed plans for the SH1/SH88 area build on our earlier work in 2023, when the decision was made to keep the existing Dunedin SH1 one-way system. Find out more here:
