1.2 This report has been written in response to concerns raised through the School Travel Plan with Hoon Hay and Our Lady of the Assumption Schools to improve the safety of students crossing Maryhill Avenue before and after school.

1.3 The decision in this report is of low significance in relation to the Christchurch City Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy. The level of significance was determined by the low level of impact and low number of people affected by the recommended decision.

1.5 The recommended option is to install a Kea Crossing in accordance with Attachment A.

2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu

That the Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere Community Board:

2. Approve under Clause 7 of the Christchurch City Council Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2017:

3. Reason for Report Recommendations Ngā Take mō te Whakatau

3.1 Safety concerns have been raised by the local schools concerning pedestrian safety when crossing Maryhill Avenue before and after school.

5.1 Maryhill Avenue currently has temporary no stopping restrictions in place between the times of 8:20-9am and 2:30-3:15pm, school days only. This is to increase visibility for pedestrians crossing Maryhill Avenue outside the school entrance.

5.3 The Kea Crossing is compliant with the Land Transport Rule: Traffic Control Devices 2004 and Council staff are satisfied the site is complimentary for a Kea Crossing.

5.4 Kerbside parking demand in the site would be displaced further along Maryhill Avenue.

5.5 Consultation was held from Thursday 12 May to Friday 27 May 2022. A total of 22 consultation letters were posted to affected owners and residents.

5.6 One submission was received, opposing the Kea Crossing down Maryhill Avenue. Reasons for the submitters’ opposition included, that the schools already have a crossing on Sparks Road, and worries that the proposal will limit parking at the back of the school and cause congestion.

5.7 The School Principals for Hoon Hay School and Our Lady of the Assumption School support the recommendations.

5.8 It was agreed that Hoon Hay School would operate the kea crossing. The Hoon Hay School Board of Trustees agree to the establishment and operation of the kea crossing.

5.9 The New Zealand Police Education Team is satisfied with the site. Staff are currently waiting for official agreement from the Police that this site is suitable for a Kea Crossing and that they can train the children to operate it.

3. Reason for Report Recommendations Ngā Take mō te Whakatau

3.1 Concerns have been raised by the Principal of Te Kōmanawa Rowley School regarding student safety when crossing Rowley Avenue before and after school.

3.2 Te Kōmanawa Rowley School has a high rate of students walking to school. Young children were often observed walking themselves and their younger siblings to school without adult supervision and having to cross Rowley Avenue by themselves.

4. Alternative Options Considered Ētahi atu Kōwhiringa

Maintain the status quo

5. Detail Te Whakamahuki

5.1 Rowley Avenue is classified as a Local Road in Councils roading hierarchy and carries on average 1,300 vehicles per day.

The proposal will reduce the available kerbside parking provision on Rowley Avenue by around five spaces. Three of these spaces are along the school frontage in the existing P3 area.

5.5 The proposed plans include closing the existing pedestrian crossing point and reinstating the kerb and grass. This is to encourage students to use the Kea Crossing and avoid confusion for motorists.

Community Views and Preferences

Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere Community Board

17 August 2022

9. Centaurus Rd / Wilsons Rd / Albert Tce Roundabout Safety Improvements
Reference / Te Tohutoro:	22/838226
Report of / Te Pou Matua:	Toni Dakers, Traffic Engineer, toni.dakers@ccc.govt.nz Samantha Sharland, Engagement Advisor, samantha.sharland@ccc.govt.nz
General Manager / Pouwhakarae:	Jane Davis, General Manager Infrastructure, Planning & Regulatory Services, jane.davis@ccc.govt.nz

1. Purpose of the Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo

1.1 The purpose of this report is for the Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere Community Board to approve a proposal for safety improvements at the Centaurus Road / Wilsons Road / Albert Terrace roundabout.

1.2 This report has been written in response to concerns raised by the St Martins School community and members of the wider public about pedestrian and cycle safety at the roundabout.

1.3 The decisions in this report are of low significance in relation to the Christchurch City Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy. The level of significance was determined by the low level of impact and low number of people affected by the recommend decision.

1.4 The recommended option is to construct pedestrian crossing points, install new road markings and speed humps on the major road approaches in accordance with Attachment A.

2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu

That the Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere Community Board:

1. Approves the design for the approaches to the Centaurus Road / Wilsons Road / Albert Terrace roundabout as shown on Attachment A (Centaurus Road / Wilsons Road / Albert Terrace Safety Improvements, TG140775, 19/07/2022), including pedestrian crossing points, speed humps and amendments to the existing crossing point on Centaurus Road (west).

2. Approves the removal of one tree on the southern side of Centaurus Road outside the commercial property (238 Centaurus Road), as shown on Attachment A (Centaurus Road / Wilsons Road / Albert Terrace Safety Improvements, TG140775, 19/07/2022).

3. Reason for Report Recommendations Ngā Take mō te Whakatau

3.1 The main focus of the proposal is to:

3.1.1 Reduce the speeds that drivers are approaching and travelling through the intersection. The higher vehicle speeds through the roundabout are largely due to the lack of deflection and wide approach lanes;

3.1.2 Improve the safety of pedestrians crossing at the roundabout, and those walking past the wide access across the Mobil Service Station on Albert Terrace; and

3.1.3 Improve cycle safety; this is a popular route for both commuter and recreational cyclists.

3.2 The proposal includes speed humps on the major road approaches and complementary line marking to improve delineation and visually narrow down the approaches to assist with managing speeds.

3.3 There is an existing pedestrian crossing point on the western (Centaurus Road) approach to this roundabout, however no formalised crossing points on the north and east approaches. Surveys and on-site observations showed that there is a demand for crossing facilities in these locations as pedestrians are currently choosing to cross over the existing islands. The proposal will formalise these crossing points to make them accessible for pedestrians including those with prams, wheelchairs etc.

3.4 Line marking improvements are proposed on the footpath along the frontage of the Mobil service station on Albert Terrace to better define this space for pedestrians and alert drivers to the likely presence of pedestrians in this location. Speed bumps are also proposed to reduce the speeds of vehicles exiting/entering the Mobil station.

3.5 A dis-used Kea crossing is located on Wilsons Road to the north of the roundabout. The Kea crossing is proposed to be dis-established as part of this proposal however the buildouts will be retained. In response to consultation feedback, tactile pavers will be installed in this location.

3.6 The proposal includes the removal of one tree on the southeast corner to maintain visibility to the pedestrian crossing point. Two new replacement trees will be planted in accordance with Council’s Tree Policy. The proposed locations for the new trees are indicated on Attachment A, however these are subject to checking of service locations which will be confirmed during the detailed design stage. The detailed tree assessment is included as Attachment B to this report.

4. Alternative Options Considered Ētahi atu Kōwhiringa

4.1 Do Nothing,

4.1.1 The ‘do nothing’ option is not recommended due to the factors described in Section 3 above.

4.2 Improve the existing crossing point on Centaurus Road (west) only,

4.2.1 Through the course of this investigation various iterations of the proposal were developed. Pedestrian crossing points were not originally proposed on the east and north approaches.

4.2.2 These initial options were not progressed further as early engagement and further assessment indicated that there is a clear demand for pedestrian crossing points on the east and north approaches.

5. Detail Te Whakamahuki

5.1 Members of the local community including St Martins School staff, parents and students have raised safety concerns about the Centaurus Road / Wilsons Road / Albert Terrace roundabout. These have come through various channels including the Council Hybris customer service system, presentations to the Community Board and through surveys undertaken as part of the School Travel Plan process.

5.2 The school currently operates two Kea crossings in this area; one on Centaurus Road to the west of the roundabout and one on Albert Terrace outside the School. These are well used both before and after school.

5.3 A search of the Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency Crash Analysis System identified six reported crashes at this intersection over the last five years. One crash resulted in serious injury, two in minor injury and three were non injury crashes. All three injury crashes involved drivers not giving way to cyclists when entering the roundabout.

5.4 Both Centaurus Road and Wilsons Road are classified as Minor Arterial Roads in the Christchurch City Council District Plan. These roads carry a high volume of through traffic due to their movement function.

5.5 The Number 17 Bryndwr / Huntsbury Bus travels through the roundabout between Wilsons Road and Centaurus Road west.

5.6 The decision affects the following wards/Community Board areas:

5.6.1 Cashmere Ward

5.6.2 Waihoro Spreydon Cashmere Community Board

6. Community Views and Preferences Ngā mariu ā-Hāpori

Public Consultation Te Tukanga Kōrerorero

6.1 Consultation started on 13 May and ran until 3 June 2022. An email was sent to 16 key stakeholders, including St Martins School, emergency services, Environment Canterbury (bus route through the area) and cycle advocacy groups.

6.2 Consultation documents were delivered to 77 properties, including affected businesses, on 13 May 2022.

6.3 St Martins School shared the consultation through their school newsletter.

Summary of Submissions Ngā Tāpaetanga

6.4 We received 52 submissions from - 48 residents and the Disabled Persons Assembly NZ, Environment Canterbury, Fava Café and Spokes. All submissions are provided on our Have Your Say page.

6.5 23 submissions (44%) gave the following reasons for supporting the plan:

· The new speed humps will slow vehicle speeds

· The new crossing points will make it safer to cross

· The new paint on the footpath will help guide school kids safely

6.6 Key issues raised by submitters were

Issue raised by submitter(s)	Staff response
Want speed limits lower in the area (12, 23%)	This area is being be considered as part of a programme being developed for Slow Speed Neighbourhoods throughout the City. Further work is underway to review speed limits around schools in response to recent legislation changes which allow 30km/h speed limits to be set around urban schools.
Make the pedestrian crossings clearer (9, 17%)	The crossing points will have kerb cut-downs and extend through the central islands on the three major road approaches. All will have tactile pavers and pedestrian hand rails.
Install Zebra crossings (9, 17%)	A driver’s primary focus in this location, is most likely to be on navigating the roundabout, not necessarily on pedestrians crossing as they immediately exit the roundabout. In locations like this, zebra crossings would only be considered if installed on raised table platforms to increase their prominence and significantly reduce vehicle speeds. This treatment is outside of the scope and available budget for this project.
Traffic lights should be installed near the roundabout (6, 12%)	Traffic signals are outside of the scope and available budget for this project.
Please explain why you have not put in full pedestrian crossings with diamonds on the road. What is the legal status of these crossing points and motorists understand them with respect to giving priority to pedestrians?	The proposed crossing points are not intended to give priority to pedestrians. The responsibility is on pedestrians to find a safe gap in traffic to cross safely. The central islands allow pedestrians to cross one lane of traffic at a time. The speed humps are also intended to improve safety for pedestrians and all road users by reducing speeds through the roundabout. Also see zebra crossing staff response above.
The central Islands are fairly narrow and do not seem wide enough for a pram or mobility scooter to wait at the island without protruding into the carriageway. Consider widening the islands or at least allowing for this to happen at a future date.	The minimum depth for pedestrian crossing points through central islands is 1.8 metres. All the proposed crossing points meet or slightly exceed this requirement. The width of the available waiting areas in the central islands have been maximised within the constraints of the site. These areas provide space for pedestrians to wait and give them space to slightly angle a bike/pram/mobility scooter if necessary so they do not protrude into the traffic lane. The islands are not proposed to be rebuilt as part of this project, however the work proposed does not restrict this from happening in future.
If the cycle lane could be extended to past #251 and #253 Centaurus Road I would feel a lot safer.	Extending the cycle lanes further down Centaurus Road is not being considered as part of the project. This section of Centaurus Road is identified as a route for future cycle improvements, however there is no budget currently allocated for this.
Want to see cycle lanes installed at the roundabout (4, 8%)	Best practise in New Zealand is for cycle lanes to stop around 30 metres in advance of the limit lines at roundabouts. This allows cyclists time to transition into the general traffic lane or ‘take the lane’ in advance of the roundabout. Continuing cycle lanes through roundabouts forces cyclists to the left of vehicles and may result in conflicts between cyclists and vehicles entering/exiting the roundabout.

7. Policy Framework Implications Ngā Hīraunga ā- Kaupapa here

Strategic Alignment Te Rautaki Tīaroaro

7.1 This report supports the Council's Long Term Plan (2021 - 2031):

7.1.1 Activity: Transport

· Level of Service: 10.0.6.1 Reduce the number of death and serious injury crashes on the local road network - ≤ 105 crashes

Policy Consistency Te Whai Kaupapa here

7.2 The decision is consistent with Council’s Plans and Policies.

Impact on Mana Whenua Ngā Whai Take Mana Whenua

7.3 The decision does not involve a significant decision in relation to ancestral land or a body of water or other elements of intrinsic value, therefore this decision does not specifically impact Mana Whenua, their culture and traditions.

7.4 The effects on Mana Whenua are expected to be insignificant as the proposal involves minor work within the existing carriageway.

Climate Change Impact Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Āhuarangi

7.5 The proposal includes new infrastructure for pedestrians and overall safety improvement to support walking and cycling in this area.

7.6 Two new trees will be planted to replace the one tree being removed.

Accessibility Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Hunga Hauā

7.7 One of the main reasons for this proposal is to improve safety for pedestrians at this intersection. Currently pedestrians are required to walk over the central islands if they want to cross on the east or north approaches.

7.8 The new crossing points extending through these central islands will be flush with the road surface and have kerb cut downs on each side of the road, making them accessible for all pedestrians, including those with restricted mobility. There will be space in the central islands for pedestrian to wait so they can cross one lane of traffic at a time. Tactile pavers will be installed to assist visually impaired pedestrians.

7.9 The overall reduction in speeds is intended to improve safety for all road users, including pedestrians and cyclists.

8. Resource Implications Ngā Hīraunga Rauemi

Capex/Opex / Ngā Utu Whakahaere

8.1 Cost to Implement – approximately $110K for construction, including traffic management and materials.

8.2 Maintenance/Ongoing costs - To be covered under the area maintenance contract, the effects will be minimal to the overall asset.

8.3 Funding Source – Traffic Operations ‘School Safety’ budget.

Other / He mea anō

8.4 None identified.

9. Legal Implications Ngā Hīraunga ā-Ture

Statutory power to undertake proposals in the report / Te Manatū Whakahaere Kaupapa
