Mount and Papamoa residents could be greeted by tree-lined entrances to their suburbs if proposals by Tauranga City Councillor Steve Morris gets the go ahead.
Cr Morris is advocating for both Maunganui Rd at the Mount and Domain Rd in Papamoa to have their painted median strips replaced with a grassed median including trees such as on Cameron Rd in Tauranga.
"The most cost-effective time to upgrade the look and feel of our suburbs is during planned road works and upgrades" said Cr Morris.
Traffic modelling is currently underway to determine whether Domain Road remains a two-lane road or becomes four-lanes as currently budgeted.
