Description

As part of improvements to the ring road around Palmerston North’s city centre, the Council and adjoining land owners have initiated an upgrade to a two block section of Ferguson Street.

MNLA analysed the existing urban pattern to provide strategic design responses. Poor articulation of vertical scale and edge treatments were identifi ed as areas of potential improvement.

Proposals include appropriate sized tree planting, preservation of the cycle lane, and a new central median with light poles and banners. Land owners were also encouraged provide landscape treatments inside the adjoining sites to contribute to the project.
