Status: Councillors agreed to the upgrade in February and work will begin in March.

Speed review in the CBD

What do you think the existing speeds are in the CBD, what do you think is a safe speed so that are pedestrians/shoppers, cyclists and mobility scooters can safely get around? 
Status: At the 27 September 2011 Council meeting New Plymouth District Council endorsed the idea in principle so that the proposal could be opened to public consultation.
