Two slip-prone city walkways slated for closure will instead be fixed after a proposal to close them was rejected by councillors.
In November Whanganui District Council proposed closing the Smart Tce and Burnett Tce walkways which connect St Johns Hill with the city.
If that went ahead it would repair the currently closed Alexa Place walkway in the same area at a cost of about $60,000.
A 2016 survey of city walkways found the tracks were the least used of eight in the city.
But public opinion was split on the proposal.
