Open evening on Karori connections

By Frank Neill

The Karori Connections Team is holding an open evening where people can learn more about the Karori connections programme and how they can be involved as planning progresses.

The open evening will be held at the Karori Community Centre from 6:30 to 8:30pm on Tuesday 18 July.

“We are strongly encouraging the community to come and have their say,” says Andrea Skews, the Chair of the Karori Residents’ Association.

“We appreciate that Wellington City council and other providers are taking time out of their evenings to come along and engage with us.”

The Karori connections team includes Wellington City Council, Greater Wellington Regional Council and Let’s Get Wellington Moving.

Tuesday’s meeting will be the first update the team has provided for the Karori connections bike, bus, and pedestrian improvements.

“Last month 437 people completed our online survey, sharing their experiences of using the Karori connections route,” the team says.

“At the same time, our team has been busy talking with the four schools on the route, the Karori Business Association, residents with accessibility needs, and the Karori Residents’ Association.

“All these conversations are helping us to develop draft designs for how the bike, bus and pedestrian improvements can be optimised for the Karori community.

“Now we’d like to invite you to an open evening to learn more about Karori connections and how you can be involved as planning progresses,” the team says.
