Most of the feedback came through Social PinPoint, hosted on the Waka Kotahi webpage (395). They also received emails and hardcopy forms.

Between Waka Kotahi and us, 670 comments and suggestions were made.

We received 50 submissions via our Have Your Say page. We heard from two cycling advocacy groups, Spokes and CAN (Cycling Action Network).

Waka Kotahi are proposing to reduce the speed on SH73 and SH75 between Christchurch and Akaroa. 

To support this project we are also proposing to reduce the speed on 49 local side roads adjoining the State Highway. 

This will align with the local speed reductions we introduced earlier this year on Banks Peninsula.
