Under the Waka Kotahi-NZTA proposal, priority lanes would be coming to Waimea Rd and other Nelson roads.
Nelson s priority lane plans have been met with relief from supporters, but those opposed say the “fight is far from over”. Waka Kotahi-New Zealand Transport Agency put forward their proposal for Nelson’s Future Access Project on Friday, with priority lanes for Waimea Rd and Tahunanui Drive coming at the expense of the “Southern Link” inland route option. While the priority lane proposal has a timeline of about 15 years, short-term fixes have been proposed for the next three years, as well as a 10-year plan to enhance walking and cycling options on Rocks Rd.
