Monday, 14 December, 2020 - 17:14 After months of planning, the Wood Street revitalisation project really got rolling this month, with key changes implemented following the latest community co-design workshops. The project was initiated by the Mangawhai Business Association, who first approached Council in 2019. They wanted a solution to ease the significant traffic congestion and pedestrian safety issues in and around Wood Street. Mangawhai Business Association Chair Alan Corkin said with changes the area could better accommodate local residents and the influx of summer visitors wanting to access the Wood Street area. Parking is essential to the health of the businesses in the area, but cars create congestion problems and safety concerns. The new layout attempts to resolve these issues and encourage the public to spend more time in Wood Street, ultimately benefiting the local retailers, says Alan Corkin.
