Three Options for Cranford Street

Submission from Spokes Canterbury

Proposal Overview

Spokes supports provision for confident cyclists to use Cranford Street and to encourage less
confident cyclists to use the Papanui Parallel Major Cycle Route and surrounding streets.
Part of the original agreement for the change of use of Cranford Street was the provision of
safer cycling in other areas. While this has had some success, there is a definite need for
improvement. Vehicles continue to use Trafalgar Street and Rutland Street as a rat run to avoid
Cranford St. Road works in the area have left some road surfaces rougher than before and
removed some on road treatments put in for cyclists. Cyclists and pedestrians also need to feel
safe crossing Cranford Street to get to safer cycling facilities, schools and other destinations.
