3. Reason for Report Recommendations Ngā Take mō te Whakatau
3.1 Safety concerns have been identified on Waterloo Road by students attending schools in the area. The key concerns were lack of pedestrian crossing facilities, the existing pedestrian islands not being large enough to cater for groups of children and the high number of heavy vehicles using the road.
3.2 The recommendations in this report will help to improve safety along the school frontages by installing:
· New larger pedestrian islands and build outs at the two locations outside Te Huruhuru Ao o Horomaka Hornby High School.
· Retention of the existing island outside Te Māhuri Mānuka Hornby Primary School with additional build outs.
· Traffic calming in the form of road humps to slow vehicle speeds on the approaches to the crossing points.
· Revised road markings to support the crossings.
· Wider paths to accommodate demands.
· Additional gateway features to highlight the presence of the school further.
· Parking restrictions for school pick-up and drop-off on Waterloo Road and also on Smarts Road for Matatiki Hornby Community Centre.
3.3 The recommendations in this report will help to achieve the desired community outcome of a well-connected and accessible city through improved road safety.
3.4 This project supports the forthcoming School Speed Zone changes to be consulted on later this year.
4. Alternative Options Considered Ētahi atu Kōwhiringa
4.1 Maintain the status quo
4.2 The advantages of this option include:
4.2.1 Retains on-street parking spaces.
4.3 The disadvantages of the option include:
4.3.1 Does not address the concerns raised by the school children.
4.3.2 Is not consistent with the community views expressed through consultation.
5. Detail Te Whakamahuki
5.1 Waterloo Road between Carmen Road and Hei Hei Road provides access to Te Huruhuru Ao o Horomaka Hornby High School, Te Māhuri Mānuka Hornby Primary School, Matatiki Hornby Community Centre, Kyle Park, and the industrial area off Smarts Road. It is also an attractive route linking State Highway 1 Carmen Road to the Waterloo Industrial Park without travelling through the Hornby Hub area.
5.2 Under the Waka Kotahi One Network Framework Classification, Waterloo Road is an urban connector to the east of Smarts Road and an activity street to the west of Smarts Road. It has one lane in each direction and is separated by an approximately 2m wide flush median. There are no dedicated cycling facilities on Waterloo Road outside the schools, however the Puari ki Niho-toto South Express Major Cycleway is accessible to the west of the school on Hei Hei Road.
5.3 Christchurch City Council’s traffic count database shows that in 2019, Waterloo Road had approximately 7500 vehicles per day, with 8.2% classified as heavy vehicles. The 85th percentile speed is 54.8 km/h and the mean speed is 46.8km/h.
5.4 There are two midblock pedestrian refuge islands on Waterloo Road. One is approximately 30m east of the main entrance to the High School. The other is approximately 25m east of the eastern entrance to the Primary School. The signalised intersection at Carmen Road and Waterloo Road also provides a formal pedestrian crossing point as does the new cycle/pedestrian signalised crossing at the intersection of Hei Hei Street and Waterloo Road.
5.5 The Waka Kotahi Crash Analysis System (CAS) was used to gain an understanding of any underlying safety issues on Waterloo Road between Hei Hei Road and Carmen Road. Twelve crashes were recorded in this corridor between 2017 and 2022 (inclusive). All these crashes occurred at the intersection of Waterloo Road and Carmen Road. Of these, one crash occurred during school pick up time on a weekday. This was a rear-end crash. There were no serious or fatal crashes recorded in the period.
5.6 The two schools along with the new community centre create a medium to high pedestrian activity on Waterloo Road depending on the time of day. So, although the crash history does not show any underlying safety concerns, the current road layout is not conducive to a safe pedestrian and cyclist environment.
5.7 Following consultation, a number of changes have been made to the proposal, these include:
5.7.1 Changing the location of the middle crossing point so that it aligns with the pedestrian exit from the High School.
5.7.2 Retention of the island outside the Primary School.
5.7.3 Build outs at the crossing points to reduce the exposure length of children crossing the road. This provides a consistent treatment along Waterloo Road where an island for the Major Cycleway to the west of Hei Hei Road has the same design.
5.7.4 Widening of the shared path to 4 metres on the south side between the main crossing point and the pedestrian entrance to Matatiki, Hornby Centre.
5.7.5 Coloured surfacing at the entrance to the safety zone to further highlight to drivers they are entering a school zone.
5.8 If approved, the recommendations will be implemented within the current financial year (generally around four weeks after the contractor receives the request, but this is subject to other factors such as resourcing and prioritisation beyond Council’s control).
6. Community Views and Preferences Ngā mariu ā-Hāpori
Public Consultation Te Tukanga Kōrerorero
6.1 Early engagement with Hornby High School and Hornby Residents Association started in 27/07/22. Marc Duff from the Greater Hornby Residents Association was contacted and given the consultation plan for the Waterloo Road Safety Improvements; he was happy with the plan and told to spread information about the consultation to his community. Hornby High School was engaged with on multiple occasions; on a high level, staff attended a Board of Trustees meeting where the consultation plan was debriefed and questions were received which staff were able to collect and respond to in an email back to board members. On a local level, staff engaged with Hornby High School students to get views from active users. There was a mix of formal and informal submissions received with feedback given being helpful to identify where pain points were on Waterloo Road in the context of student safety.
6.2 Consultation started on 25/07/22 and ran until 15/08/22. An email was sent to 48 key stakeholders, including SPOKES and other cycling advocacy groups, DPA, FENZ and NZ Police, Waka Kotahi, multiple heavy haulage organisations and Ecan. Community organisations were provided with an email outlining consultation information and a link to the Have Your Say page where all consultation documents were found. The consultation was posted on the council Facebook page as well as the Greater Hornby Residents Association Facebook page and on Newsline, inviting submissions on the Have Your Say webpage.
6.3 Consultation documents were available on demand to any stakeholder who requested a physical or virtual copy.
Summary of Submissions Ngā Tāpaetanga
6.4 Submissions were made by 4 recognised organisations and 41 individuals. Staff also collected 4 informal pieces of feedback from student groups. Of these individuals; 10 self-identified as caregivers, 13 individuals and 4 groups self-identified as students. All submissions are available on the HYS page.
6.5 The majority of submitters supported the proposed changes (41, 91%) for the following reasons:
· The safety of the students at Hornby High School and Hornby Primary School is the top priority for community members. Submitters also were in major support of Hornby High students raising the deputation to Council which helped their support for the project as a whole
· Submitters felt that the plans were a moderate to large improvement to the current state of the road. The common opinion is that attention has been sorely needed in this area.
· Safe active transport was a feature that was brought up by submitters. Being able to safely walk, cycle and scooter to and from school was important.
· The position of the new crossing point was supported by many submitters. The main sentiment was that it needs to be in line of sight and easy access to both students from Hornby High and Primary when coming to and from school.
6.6 A minority of submitters did not support the proposed changes (4, 9%) for the following reasons:
· Lights should be installed at the Smarts Road and Waterloo Road intersection. The plan should account for this and incorporate this in.
· The plan is not effective as members of the community and school won’t listen to the changes being proposed. Students will continue to cross wherever they want; the refuge island will not be used as much as is anticipated.
· Fears around the lack of parking.
· Truck use on Waterloo Road is very high; this issue needs to be addressed first.
6.7 Key themes that came through from submitters to be considered by Staff were:
· Student safety and wellbeing was prioritised. There was an attention to making sure students at Hornby High and Primary were safe around Waterloo Road and making sure they were crossing safely.
· Calls for futureproofing in regards to Matatiki | Hornby Centre being developed. There was speculation around what the increase of traffic would do to the area and more importantly, to the roads around Waterloo Road. There were calls for traffic lights to be installed at Smarts Road – Waterloo Road intersection to ease stress for motorists turning onto Waterloo.
· Prioritising safe active transport by making the shared path wider to account for all kinds of active transport or making a separated active transport path when taking into account the number of students biking, scootering, etc. compared to those who walk.
· Speed reductions should be done sooner to lower speeds to 30km/h.
· Traffic calming should be prioritised especially to stop speeding cars on Waterloo Road and to address heavy truck use.
6.8 A summary of submissions and responses to submissions is available in Attachment B.
7. Policy Framework Implications Ngā Hīraunga ā- Kaupapa here

1. Purpose of the Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo
1.1 The purpose of this report is for the Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board to consider approval of No Stopping restrictions at the Totara Street / Konini Street intersection.
1.2 This report has been written in response to a request from a resident who expressed concerns regarding the low road width available for vehicles travelling through this intersection when vehicles are parked adjacent to the existing kerb extensions.
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 applying the assessment criteria in the Significance and Engagement Policy Worksheet.
1.4 The recommended option is to install No Stopping lines at the Totara Street / Konini Street intersection, in accordance with Attachment A.
2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu
That the Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board:
1. Approves, pursuant to Clause 7 of the Christchurch City Council Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2017, that the stopping of vehicles be prohibited at any time (as shown in Attachment A to the report on the meeting agenda, Drawing TG142059, issue 1 dated 06/09/2022):
a. Along the northern side of Totara Street commencing at its intersection with Konini Street and extending in a westerly direction for a distance of 17 metres.
b. Along the northern side of Totara Street commencing at its intersection with Konini Street and extending in an easterly direction for a distance of 18 metres.
c. Along the southern side of Totara Street commencing at its intersection with Konini Street and extending in a westerly direction for a distance of 19 metres.
d. Along the southern side of Totara Street commencing at its intersection with Konini Street and extending in a easterly direction for a distance of 15 metres.
e. Along the western side of Konini Street commencing at its intersection with Totara Street and extending in a northerly direction for a distance of 18 metres.
f. Along the eastern side of Konini Street commencing at its intersection with Totara Street and extending in a northerly direction for a distance of 20 metres.
g. Along the western side of Konini Street commencing at its intersection with Totara Street and extending in a southerly direction for a distance of 22 metres.
h. Along the eastern side of Konini Street commencing at its intersection with Totara Street and extending in a southerly direction for a distance of 26 metres.
2. Relocates the start point of the existing 120 minute (Monday to Friday, 9AM to 5PM, March to November) parking restrictions (as shown in Attachment A Drawing to the report on the meeting agenda,TG142059, issue 1 dated 06/09/2022):
a. On the southern side of Totara Street (west of its intersection with Konini Street), to a point 9 metres west of its current location.
b. On the western side of Konini Street (south of its intersection with Totara Street), to a point 10 metres south of its current location.
3. Revokes any previous resolutions pertaining to traffic controls made pursuant to any bylaw to the extent that they are in conflict with the traffic controls described in 0 and 2 above.
4. Approves that these resolutions take effect when parking signage and/or road markings that evidence the restrictions described in the staff report are in place.
3. Reason for Report Recommendations Ngā Take mō te Whakatau
3.1 Concerns have been raised regarding limited road width due to the presence of parked vehicles adjacent to the kerb extensions at the Totara Street / Konini Street intersection. Vehicles parked in this location restrict visibility and free flow of traffic thereby affecting all road users. Implementing the noted recommendations could provide better accessibility for road users at this intersection.
3.2 The recommendations in this report will help to achieve the desired community outcome of a well-connected and accessible city through improved road safety.
3.3 It is proposed to install No stopping restrictions adjacent to the kerb extensions at the Totara Street / Konini Street intersection. This is expected to reduce any inconsiderate parking activity at this location.
4. Alternative Options Considered Ētahi atu Kōwhiringa
4.1 Maintain the status quo.
4.1.1 The advantages of this option include:
· No cost to the Council.
4.1.2 The disadvantages of the option include:
· Does not address the customer’s request, and identified concerns, related to the accessibility and safety at this location.
5. Detail Te Whakamahuki
5.1 The Totara Street / Konini Street intersection has kerb extensions on all four legs. These kerb extensions help in slowing down vehicles as they approach the intersection thereby improving road safety at this location.
5.2 Presence of parked vehicles do encourage lower speeds along many residential streets as they tend to present a visually narrow road. But parked vehicles at this intersection, near the kerb extensions, heavily reduce the available road width thereby creating safety and accessibility concerns for turning vehicles and vehicles travelling straight through the intersection.
5.3 A search of the New Zealand Transport Agency Crash Analysis System identified no crashes within 50m of this intersection since 2017. While there is no history of reported crashes associated with parked vehicles, parked vehicles near the kerb extensions are expected to cause safety accessibility issues for all road users at this intersection.
5.4 After investigating the matter, staff acknowledge the resident’s concerns and agree that there is a potential safety and accessibility issue present that could be addressed by adopting the recommendations in this report.
5.5 Approval is required by the Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board.
5.6 If approved, the recommendations will be implemented within the current financial year.
Community Views and Preferences
5.7 Owners and residents of the properties near the proposed No Stopping lines were advised of the recommended option by letter.
5.8 Responses were received from six residents.
· Two residents supported the proposal.
· One other resident supported the proposal but also requested parking ticks at this location which are currently being considered and separately investigated.
· Another resident also supported the proposal and indicated their preference to extend the restrictions further south on Konini Street.
· One of the residents opposed this proposal as they felt that parked vehicles would help in slowing down vehicles approaching the intersection. They also felt that this proposal would remove parking spaces for students and visitors.
· One resident did not indicate their support or opposition but provided feedback regarding driver behaviour around this location (driving at inappropriate speeds through the STOP controlled intersection without stopping).
5.9 The Team Leader Parking Compliance has no concerns with the preferred option.
5.10 The extent of the proposed No Stopping restrictions along the southern side of Totara Street, east of the Konini Street intersection, has been reduced by 2m from the plan sent out for consultation. This has been done to tie in the proposed restrictions with the existing 120 minute (Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm, March to November) parking restrictions. This is not expected to cause any major change in the intended parking behaviour and the road safety scenario at this location. The respondents will be informed regarding this change.
5.11 The do nothing option is inconsistent with community requests to improve safety and accessibility at this location.

1. Purpose of the Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo
1.1 The purpose of this report is for the Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board to consider approval of No Stopping restrictions along the western side of Tara Street.
1.2 This report has been written in response to a request from a road user who expressed concerns regarding the low road width available for vehicles travelling along Tara Street when vehicles are parked on both sides of the road.
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 applying the assessment criteria in the Significance and Engagement Policy Worksheet.
1.4 The recommended option is to install No Stopping lines along the western side of Tara Street, in accordance with Attachment A.
2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu
That the Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board:
1. Approves, pursuant to Clause 7 of the Christchurch City Council Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2017, that the stopping of vehicles be prohibited at any time along the western side of Tara Street commencing at its intersection with Shand Crescent and extending in a southerly direction for a distance of 48 metres. Refer to Attachment A to the report on the meeting agenda, Drawing TG142031, issue 1 dated 19/08/2022.
2. Revokes any previous resolutions pertaining to traffic controls made pursuant to any bylaw to the extent that they are in conflict with the traffic controls described in 0. above.
3. Approves that these resolutions take effect when parking signage and/or road markings that evidence the restrictions described in the staff report are in place.

3.2 The recommendations in this report will help to achieve the desired community outcome of a well-connected and accessible city through improved road safety.
3.3 It is proposed to install No stopping restrictions along the western side of Tara Street for a length of 48 metres. This would result in the effective removal of available on street parking for up to five vehicles.
4. Alternative Options Considered Ētahi atu Kōwhiringa
4.1 Maintain the status quo.
4.1.1 The advantages of this option include:
· Retains existing on-street parking spaces.
4.1.2 The disadvantages of the option include:
· Does not address the customer’s request, and identified concerns, related to the accessibility and safety at this location.
5. Detail Te Whakamahuki
5.1 The Christchurch Suburban Parking Policy recommends No Stopping restrictions on one side of the road / alternate sides if the road width is less than 7m. Tara Street is approximately 6m wide (kerb to kerb).
5.2 According to the road user, accessibility / free flow of vehicles was difficult when vehicles were parked on both sides of the road. This was confirmed during site inspections as well.
5.3 A search of the New Zealand Transport Agency Crash Analysis System identified no crashes along Tara Street since 2017. While there is no history of reported crashes associated with parked vehicles, restricted lane width caused due to on street parking on both sides is expected to cause accessibility issues for all vehicles (especially emergency vehicles) travelling through Tara Street.
5.4 After investigating the matter, staff acknowledge the customer’s concerns and agree that there is a potential accessibility issue present that could be addressed by adopting the recommendations in this report.
5.5 Approval is required by the Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board.
5.6 If approved, the recommendations will be implemented within the current financial year.
Community Views and Preferences
5.7 Owners and residents of the properties near the proposed No Stopping lines were advised of the recommended option by letter.
5.8 Responses were received from four residents. One of them supported the proposal. Two people supported the proposal but requested additional treatments like parking ticks and signs as this proposal could lead to additional vehicles being parked on street in the nearby Shand Crescent. One of them enquired about the possibility of having the restrictions along the eastern side of Tara Street. But, after further discussion, they agreed with the current proposal.
5.9 The Team Leader Parking Compliance has no concerns with the preferred option.
5.10 The do nothing option is inconsistent with community requests to improve accessibility at this location.

1. Purpose of the Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo
1.1 The purpose of this report is to recommend that the Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board approve Heavy Vehicle Restrictions along Little Gem Road under the Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2017.
1.2 This report has been written in response to a request from the residents of Little Gem Road who were concerned about the high volume of heavy vehicles passing through their street.
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 applying the assessment criteria in the Significance and Engagement Policy Worksheet.
1.4 The recommended option is to prevent heavy vehicles from accessing Little Gem Road except for deliveries in that street, in accordance with Attachment A.
2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu
That the Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board:
1. Approves, pursuant to Clause 19 of the Council’s Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2017, that heavy vehicles be prohibited along Little Gem Road except where there is no other way reasonably available for the traffic concerned to proceed, and/or bone fide deliveries to or collections from properties on the road, and/or scheduled bus services. Refer to Attachment A to the report on the meeting agenda, Drawing TG142081, issue 1 dated 19/08/2022.
2. Approves that any other existing traffic control and/or restriction made under any Act, Rule or Bylaw that is contrary to or in conflict with1. be revoked.
3. Reason for Report Recommendations Ngā Take mō te Whakatau
3.1 Concerns have been raised by residents regarding the high number of heavy vehicles travelling through Little Gem Road, which is a residential street. The residents felt that, after Little Gem Road was fully opened in 2020, heavy vehicles were using Little Gem Road as a shortcut between Wilmers Road and Owaka Road.
3.2 The residents were concerned regarding potential road safety risks and the noise and vibration issues which could occur due to the high frequency of heavy vehicles along Little Gem Road.
3.3 The recommendations in this report will help to achieve the desired community outcome of a well-connected and accessible city through improved road safety.
3.4 It is proposed to prevent heavy vehicles from accessing Little Gem Road except for deliveries or collections in that street.
4. Alternative Options Considered Ētahi atu Kōwhiringa
4.1 Maintain the status quo.
4.1.1 The advantages of this option include:
· No cost to the Council.
4.1.2 The disadvantages of the option include:
· Does not address the residents’ requests and identified concerns related to noise and vibration issues and road safety at this location.
5. Detail Te Whakamahuki
5.1 The residents of Little Gem Road have expressed their concerns regarding noise and vibration issues and road safety risks due to the high volume of heavy vehicles passing through their street. After Little Gem Road was fully open, the residents feel that many heavy vehicles were using Little Gem Road as a shortcut to access the nearby businesses.
5.2 A traffic survey was done in December 2021 to analyse the heavy vehicle volumes. The average weekday (5 days) proportion of heavy vehicles was found to be 17.2% which is very high for a residential street of this kind. The high number of heavy vehicles is understood to have not been caused by any temporary road works and is expected to continue if the proposed restrictions are not in place.
5.3 A search of the New Zealand Transport Agency Crash Analysis System identified no crashes along Little Gem Road since 2017. While there is no history of reported crashes, the high volume of heavy vehicles is expected to have a negative impact on people residing in this residential street
5.4 After investigating the matter, staff acknowledge the residents’ concerns and agree that they could be addressed by adopting the recommendations in this report.
5.5 Preventing heavy vehicles along Little Gem Road would require vehicles on Wilmers Road (Secondary Collector) to travel through Awatea Road (Secondary Arterial) to access Owaka Road and vice versa. Based on the traffic volumes and outlook of these roads, the displaced traffic along the new route is not expected to create a negative impact on them.
5.6 The new route is also not expected to significantly increase the travel time / distance for heavy vehicles. It also needs to be noted that all vehicles (including heavy vehicles) were following this route before Little Gem Road was recently fully open to traffic.
5.7 It is proposed to install gated signs indicating entry restrictions to heavy vehicles (except for deliveries) near both ends of Little Gem Road.
5.8 Approval is required by the Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board.
5.9 If approved, the recommendations will be implemented within the current financial year.
Community Views and Preferences
5.10 The following organisations were consulted regarding the proposed restrictions:
· NZ Heavy Haulage Association
· NZ Trucking Association
· Southern Demolition & Salvage Ltd
· Parks Towing
· Native Timber Solutions
· Transporting NZ
5.11 Though there were some minor concerns and questions, no one objected to the proposal and offered to cooperate with the restrictions.
5.12 NZ Police were also consulted regarding this proposal. They did not have any issues and mentioned that enforcement would be available if required.
5.13 The do nothing option is inconsistent with community’s requests and concerns.

3.3 Participation in and Contribution to Decision Making
3.3.1 Report back on other Activities contributing to Community Board Plan [for items not included in the above table but are included in Community Board Plan]
· School Travel Plan
Staff are working with Villa Maria College to develop a School Travel Plan. A working group made up of students, school staff and a school board of trustee's representative lead this project. A travel survey was recently sent out to the school community, which received the highest response rate the Council has received on any School Travel Plan Survey. This included responses from 234 parents, 28 staff and 192 students. The survey results will inform any proposed safety changes that are drafted in the School Travel Plan. The next step is for council staff to do a site visit to observe some of the issues at hand and provide feedback for the working group to utilise in their travel plan.
· Matatiki: Hornby Centre
The Board voted at its 16 August 2022 meeting to accept Ngāi Tūāhuriri’s gifted name of Matatiki for the new community facility that the Council is building on land in Kyle Park, Hornby.
Matatiki means spring of water and represents the importance of water as a source of life and wellbeing.
The new centre will be called Matatiki:
Hornby Centre, in line with the Council’s naming convention for other
similar facilities.
Construction continues on site with the piling, landfill gas membrane and pipework now finished under the original pool hall and hydrotherapy pool areas. In addition, work is continuing on the library and hydrotherapy pool foundation beams and the pool hall lower floor balance.
3.3.2 Council Engagement and Consultation.
· Draft Housing and Business Choice Plan Change
The Draft Housing and Business Choice Plan Change, Draft Coastal Hazards Plan Change, Draft Heritage Plan Change, Draft Radio Communications Pathway Plan Change were open for feedback from 11 April 2022 to 13 May 2022. Pursuant to the decision of the Board’s Submissions Committee on 4 May 2022, the attached feedback was lodged on behalf of the Board (see Attachments B, C, D and E).
Following consideration of the feedback received the Council considered the Draft Housing and Business Choice Plan Change, and Draft Heritage Plan Change, plan at is meeting on 8 and 13 September and decided to notify the Heritage Plan Change but not the Housing and Business Choice Plan Change.
4. Advice Provided to the Community Board
4.1 Information regarding Chalmers Street Extension
At the staff briefing on Waterloo Road - Road Safety Improvements Project on the 26th October 2021 the Board requested that staff provide advice on a proposal for an extension of Chalmers Street to Hei Hei Road.
Staff have provided a memorandum in response (see Attachment F) outlining the history of a proposal for an extension of Chalmers Street through to Waterloo Road including a consultation in 2011 by Shopping Centre Investments Ltd, (SCIL), the owners of The Hub Hornby, with a number of key stakeholders for an extension as part of redevelopment and expansion of the mall. However, SCIL did not choose to pursue the extension in its application for resource consent for the redevelopment.
The memorandum sets out the limitations/restrictions on any extension proposal as well as the advantages/disadvantages. It is noted that Council funding the extension is likely to be prohibitively expensive, with significant disadvantages, limitations and barriers to implementation, little to no public benefit, and is counter to many of Council’s strategic priorities. Extension of Chalmers Street is not planned for future Long Term Plans.
4.2 Banks & Kissel Street Kerb Renewal
The attached memorandum (Attachment G) outlines the proposal for kerb renewal projects in Banks Street and Kissel Street, Templeton.
The key objective of the proposal is to replace the existing kerb and deep dish channel with a standard kerb and flat channel along the Western end of Banks Street, and Northern end of Kissel Street, and improve access and safety for pedestrians to public transport. This will incorporate issues with school access and accessibility to public bus stop locations. The Council will also provide a safer pedestrian crossing point on Banks Street in front of Templeton School.
A consultation flyer has been delivered to the residents and businesses in the area and to Templeton School, the pre-school and the RSA Community Club. Feedback may be provided from 13 September to 4 October 2022.
4.2 Halswell Quarry Security
At is meeting on 19 February 2022 the Board discussed local concerns regarding security in the vicinity of the Halswell Quarry and agreed to request a briefing by Council Park Rangers on the Halswell Quarry including security in and around the Park.
Staff have responded with the attached memorandum (Attachment H) advising that two live-stream security cameras have been installed, one on a pole in the central Head Quarters Park car park and another overlooking the exterior of the park office and vehicle storage compound and motion sensor lights have been installed around the exterior of the park office area. In addition security hardware has been improved with heavy duty chains and padlocks and alarms for the park offices are being monitored.
Staff also advised that security audit has been completed by security advisors that has highlighted a few more minor issues and that more fixed night lights and a loud internal and external office alarm siren are proposed.
4.3 Knights Stream School Area Improvements
Staff have advised that there is to be community engagement on a number of safety improvements proposed around Mingimingi Hautoa Knights Stream School and neighbourhood. See attached memorandum (Attachment I).
Improving safety on local roads in Christchurch is a priority for the Council and is also a national priority under the principles and guidance of the Road to Zero - New Zealand’s road safety strategy for 2020-2030. Speed limit changes around schools will be consulted on as part of the Interim Speed Management Plan in October 2022.
The proposed safety improvements are to support journeys to school that are taken on foot, by bicycle and scooter. Following community engagement a report to the Community Board is expected in early 2023.
4.4 Customer Service Requests/Hybris Report
For the Board’s information, attached is a copy of the July 2022 Hybris Report (refer Attachment J).
4.5 Graffiti Snapshot
For the Board’s information, attached is a Graffiti Snapshot, an update on graffiti as of August 2022 (refer Attachment K).
