3.1      Matthew McDonald and Cleo Hopkinson – Tennyson Street Pedestrian Improvement Options

Matthew McDonald, Chairperson of the Beckenham Te Kura o Pūroto Board, and Cleo Hopkinson, Beckenham Te Kura o Pūroto student, spoke about the proposed pedestrian improvements on Tennyson Street (refer to Item 4 – Tennyson Street Pedestrian Improvement Options).

Mr McDonald noted that he is pleased that a report has come to the Joint Boards for a decision, but the process has taken too long. In his view, Tennyson Street is a busy street that is dangerous for pedestrians to cross. He noted that the proposed pedestrian improvements are better than the current crossing facilities.

Mr McDonald thanked the Lions and Community Patrol for their support in helping children cross Tennyson Street.

Ms Hopkinson noted that she and her sister are students at Beckenham Te Kura o Pūroto and regularly cross Tennyson Street to get to school. Crossing the road is the least favourite part of her day as she feels unsafe. Next year, Ms Hopkinson will have left the school. She’s concerned for her sister’s safety having to cross the road by herself.

The Chairperson thanked Mr McDonald and Ms Hopkinson for their deputation.

3.2      Dave Kelly and Erin Callanan – Tennyson Street Pedestrian Improvement Options

Dave Kelly and Erin Callanan, Beckenham Neighbourhood Association (BNA), spoke about the proposed pedestrian improvements on Tennyson Street (refer to Item 4 – Tennyson Street Pedestrian Improvement Options).

Mr Kelly noted that the proposed pedestrian improvements are better than the current crossing facilities. BNA supports the proposal to slow traffic, but in the longer term would like a zebra crossing to be implemented.

Mr Kelly noted that BNA has resource to help update the Beckenham Te Kura o Pūroto school travel plan.

Ms Callanan noted that the proposed pedestrian island only has room for one bike. She supports the proposal to slow traffic and would also like vehicles to stop for bikes.

The Chairperson thanked Mr Kelly and Ms Callanan for their deputation.
