25/01/2023: Brooklyn intersection/lights road works (continued)

Carl from Brooklyn Residents Association Incorporated

Brooklyn intersection / lights work update: please be aware GBRAI have been informed by Fulton Hogan of further and ongoing work in and around the Brooklyn lights. There will be stop/go controls to make it safer for workers doing the road/kerbing work (as outlined from Fulton Hogan email below. Realistically, expect traffic delays and congestion to the end of February. Carl Savage, Secratry, GBRAI...

" Hi all, Just wanted to offer an update on our current works in the Brooklyn area: Harrison Street is on course to be completed by the end of this week, though there’s still a chance we may need a day next week to complete reinstatement of the footpaths.


Brooklyn Intersection work will continue from Thursday. The corners outside Two Todman and Salty Pidgeon have been completed, so we will now focus on the corner outside Unichem where we’ll be replacing kerb and channel and upgrading the pedestrian crossings, similar to our work on the previous two corners. We’ll then move across the road and do the same to the corner outside the former Wish Skin Spa building. We’ll hopefully need about 2 weeks for each corner.

This afternoon we have deployed some VMS boards that will advise motorists of probable delays. We will be implementing a 4-way stop/go operation around the intersection with some lane closure to keep our crew and the public safe. This will result in some car parks being removed though we’ll do our best to keep this to a minimum. We will also have to close whichever pedestrian crossing we are working on but will endeavour to have them accessible when possible. Please be aware this won’t always be possible for safety reasons.

I will also try and keep you better updated for the rest of the project than we have been able to up to now. Thanks for your patience over the last few months and hopefully we can be out of your way sooner rather than later.

Thanks, Michael “Chewy” Chew | Programme and Delivery Manager | Fulton Hogan Ltd

Poll: Would you participate in local initiatives aimed at stopping plastic from reaching our oceans?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Volunteers will be scouring the foreshore, riverbanks, and islands for rubbish on Saturday the 13th as part of the Clean Up the Hutt event.

This initiative helps stop plastic from reaching our oceans and makes our waterways cleaner and safer for everyone.

We want to know: Should this be rolled out across all coastal cities in Aotearoa? And more importantly… would you get involved? 💚

Want the details? The Post has you covered.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
