Update September 2019
In late October 2018 the Waihoro/Spreydon-Cashmere Community Board approved the plans. We have had some delays which we have been working through with the mall. We anticipate construction will start in early 2020.

A report will be presented to the Spreydon-Cashmere Community board for project approval at their meeting on Friday 19 October 2018. The agenda will be available on the Council website from Monday 15 October 2018.
Why we're doing this
- Vehicles obstruct the footpath while waiting for a suitable gap in the traffic to exit the mall
- Right turning traffic both entering and exiting the Mall are often delayed leading to rushed decisions without paying attention to pedestrians
- Pedestrians feeling unsafe crossing at this location.
Proposed changes
- Extend the ‘no stopping’ restrictions (on street parking), on the west side of Barrington Street, between Athelstan Street and Kinver Place.
- Install a patterned footpath across the access to Barrington Mall on Barrington Street to highlight a pedestrian route
- Install a wider footpath in front of the Library with new landscaping
- No right turn out of Barrington Mall into Barrington Street
- Extend the pedestrian refuge on Barrington Street outside the Mall entrance (please see plan for further details)
