A series of three-dimensional designs showing the final look for the street outside the Cambridge Pool have been released by Council this week.
The designs provide an overview of what Williamson Street in Cambridge will look like once work to redevelop the street is complete.
Construction, which is currently under way, will see the road replaced, new pedestrian crossings and signage installed, and the street finished off with landscaping in the lead-up to the opening of the Cambridge Pool.
Waipā District Council transportation manager Bryan Hudson said it was important to note the sample buildings had been included in the scene for context. However, all other design elements were accurate.
“The designs include a series of red raised pedestrian crossings which will improve visibility for drivers and safety for pedestrians, a bus stop to improve accessibility to the pools and angle parking.”
Hudson said since commencing at the start of February, major progress had already been made.
“We’d just like to say a big thank you to the residents of Williamson Street who have been very understanding and patient with us on this project.
“At this time we are now working on the removal of the old footpath and kerb, constructing new catch pits and relocating underground services. Following this, we will start the construction of the new footpath and form the new roadside parking spaces.”
The streetscape is expected to be complete by mid-2020, aligning with the expected completion date of the highly-anticipated pool project.
