Enabling further street works / public realm enhancements (beyond currently programmed works) for full reinstatement of Cathedral Square, and delivering key streetscape features of Regenerate Christchurch's Cathedral Square "Vision" to be realised. Objectives are to produce a safe, inviting environment that priorities activation of Square and needs of pedestrians and cyclists in a broadly low speed / shared space environment, while maintaining reasonable access for servicing vehicles and immediate access to hotels and premises. Works likely to focus on removal of through, extraneous traffic from Colombo Street between Armagh and Hereford Streets.
