Hundreds of residents and several business owners are frustrated and upset they were not involved prior to the design work being done for the $19 million project.
Christchurch City Council has now promised to involve the community as they try to improve the heavily criticised plans.
But, it would also cut four lanes of traffic to two - and reduce on-street parking, which has raised concerns for residents and business owners in Bishopdale and Papanui who say they have no faith in the current design and want to see it done better.
