Have your say on transport changes in Waitohi

Have your say on transport changes in Waitohi

The Ferry Precinct project is proposing an overbridge at the Dublin Street rail crossing, and changes at the Broadway crossing and the northern end of Market Street. What else might be needed to help people move around Waitohi, especially with the future arrival of larger rail-enabled Interislander ferries? The new ferries will carry longer trains, and increase freight and passenger volumes over time.
