This Section builds on the TRANSPORTATION provisions of the District Plan and gives requirements and guidance for the design, construction and maintenance of the network. TRANSPORTATION corridors that incorporate facilities for vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists, mobility impaired, public transport, utilities, and landscaping are the preferred method of providing for the transport needs of our community.

9 Scope This Section sets out the requirements for the design and construction of TRANSPORTATION corridors within the city/district that are, or will be, managed by or vested to Council. It is also to be used for maintenance of existing infrastructure, including asset renewal, unless the standards are not compatible with the existing assets.
