Number of traffic lights to be reduced at Christchurch intersection once described as an 'appalling eyesore'
The intersection of Tuam and High streets currently has 20 traffic light poles, which were installed by the Christchurch City Council in October 2016.
The council is set to reduce the number of signal poles to six as part of its long-term plan for revitalising High St between Cashel, St Asaph and Manchester streets, and extending the street's tram route.
About $6.7m has been set aside for the High St revamp and about $2.9m for the proposed tram extensions. Read the full story here.
