While Transit New Zealand (Transit) accepts the recommendation in principle the crossing in question is not on a state highway; it is therefore not appropriate for Transit to take the lead role.
My Christchurch Regional Office has made initial contact with both ONTRACK [New Zealand Railways Corporation] and the Selwyn District Council who will no doubt advise you of the anticipated timetable for the review of the level crossing.
The timing of any work that Transit may be required to do would be dependent on availability of funding and the priority of work at that time.
