City to Sea Pathway Safe System Audit

Christchurch City Council is building a pathway connecting the City to the Sea along the Ōtākaro Avon River Corridor.

The 11 km long, shared-use, all-weather route will largely follow the course of the Ōtākaro Avon River from Barbadoes Street in the central city to Pages Road in New Brighton. The pathway is designed to be enjoyed by everyone, and a network of minor paths will connect the pathway to the surrounding communities. It’s being designed as a fun route, with play activities, such as interactive elements and areas to explore, along its length. 

ViaStrada has been involved in the scheme and detailed design audits of raised signalised crossings, raised dual crossings and car parking facilities proposed as part of the pathway.
