9. Cashmere/Centaurus/Colombo/Dyers Pass Safety Improvements
Reference / Te Tohutoro:	22/1801664
Report of / Te Pou Matua:	Gemma Dioni, Senior Transportation Engineer gemma.dioni@ccc.govt.nz
General Manager / Pouwhakarae:	Mary Richardson, General Manager Citizens & Community (Mary.Richardson@ccc.govt.nz)

1. Nature of Decision or Issue and Report Origin

1.1 The purpose of this report is for the Waihoro-Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board to approve a proposal for safety improvements at the Cashmere/Colombo/Centaurus/Dyers Pass intersection.

1.2 The report has been written in response to the ongoing safety concerns at this intersection particularly for users travelling outside of a motor vehicle. People riding bicycles or motorcycles have been seriously injured in crashes at this location. The project is being funded from the Christchurch Regeneration Acceleration Fund - Road Safety Priorities budget.

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 recommended decision. The community engagement and consultation outlined in this report reflect the assessment.

1.4 The recommended option is to construct raised safety platforms on each arm of the intersection, a new apron within the roundabout, improved pedestrian crossings, and new road markings in accordance with Attachment A.

1.5 A separate report to the Community Board will follow after further consideration has been given to the bus stops on Centaurus Road. Staff need additional time to review feedback on the two stops. The existing no stopping lines present on Centaurus Road will allow for the scheme to proceed without the changes to the bus stops.

3. Reason for Report Recommendations Ngā Take mō te Whakatau

3.1 Improving safety on local roads in Christchurch is a priority for CCC 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. Road to Zero sets an initial target to reduce deaths and serious injuries on New Zealand’s roads, streets, cycleways, and footpaths by 40 percent over the next 10 years. Providing safe infrastructure and safe speeds is key to delivering on the vision.

3.2 The Cashmere/Colombo/Centaurus/Dyers Pass intersection is a busy intersection used by many people travelling to school, work or across the community. Whether people are travelling through this intersection on foot, by bicycle, by bus or driving, they should be able to do so safely. If Council are to achieve Vision Zero, we need to create a safe transport system; one that recognises humans make mistakes and that these mistakes do not need to cost us our lives.

3.3 The Waka Kotahi Crash Analysis System (CAS) was used to gain an understanding of any underlying safety issues at the intersection. There have been 27 crashes reported over a 10-year period (2012-2021). There have been 10 crashes resulting in serious injury during this period, six of the 10 involved people riding a bicycle and 4 involved people riding a motorcycle/scooter. There were a further eight crashes involving a person riding a bicycle that resulted in minor injury.

3.4 Of the 18 crashes involving people travelling on two wheels at the roundabout:

3.4.1 15 of the crashes (11 people on bicycles and four on motorcycles/scooters) occurred when people on two-wheels were riding across the front of the Dyers Pass Road approach to the roundabout and were hit by vehicles exiting Dyers Pass Road. This resulted in six serious injuries.

3.4.2 Two of the crashes occurred when a person on a bicycle was riding through the roundabout and was hit by vehicles turning left across them. Both crashes resulted in serious injury.

3.4.3 One of the crashes occurred when a person riding a bicycle travelled in front of the Colombo Street approach and was hit by a vehicle exiting. This crash resulted in serious injury.

3.4.4 Of the 10 serious injury crashes, only one occurred within the standard network peak hours of 8-9am and 5-6pm. Three of the eight minor injury crashes occurred within the peak hours. All other crashes occurred outside peak times when there is less traffic at the roundabout.

3.5 A roundabout is a primary safe system intervention (due to the reduced number of conflict points and more favourable impact angles when compared with other layouts), therefore it is proposed to retain the roundabout layout. However, speeds and collision angles are proposed to be managed so as not to result in unacceptably high entry speeds into the circulating carriageway.

3.6 To improve safety and accessibility for the community it is proposed to install raised safety platforms across the entries and exits to the roundabout. Raised safety platforms are part of the Safe System approach to road safety. They are a vertical deflection device increasingly used to reduce the maximum comfortable operating speed for vehicles to Safe System collision speeds, particularly at intersections.

3.7 Evidence shows that if these people are hit by a vehicle travelling at 50km/h there’s only a 20 per cent chance they will survive. At 30km/h, the survival rate increases significantly to 90 per cent. The platform contributes to safer outcomes by reducing vehicle speeds to the more survivable speed of 30km/h.

3.8 The proposed safety upgrades coincide with improving accessibility between bus stops that service the Orbiter route and route 1 (Blue line). This aims to improve passenger experience when transferring from one service to the next, reduce time taken to transfer and reduce barriers to uptake of Public Transport. These changes will be considered in a separate report to the Community Board.

3.9 The recommendations in this report will help to improve safety by installing:

· Raised safety platforms across the full width of all roundabout legs to lower vehicle speeds.

· Narrower entry lanes to discourage motorists overtaking cyclists on the immediate approach to the roundabout.

· Widened splitter islands, reconfigured kerb geometry, and construction of a wider roundabout apron to reduce speeds and manage collision angles.

· Improved pedestrian crossing locations, which will also facilitate better access to public transport, particularly for those interchanging between routes at the intersection.

3.10 The recommendations in this report will help to achieve the desired community outcome of a well-connected and accessible city through improved road safety.

4. Alternative Options Considered Ētahi atu Kōwhiringa

4.1 A Safe System Assessment was completed as part of the optioneering for the improvements. The assessment considered the existing roundabout, improvements to the existing roundabout and a traffic signal-controlled arrangement. The Safe System Assessment is a formal examination of a road related program, project or initiative that assesses the safety of the existing intersection and the proposals. The process assesses if, and how, existing or future changes aligns with safe system principles with a focus on safer roads and safer speeds. The assessment provides a score for the existing arrangement and a score for the options from a total score of 448 (the lower score the safer the outcomes).

4.2 The Safe System Assessment identified that due to the topography, restricted and angled approaches together with high demand all users the current intersection scores 292.

4.3 The proposed improvements to the roundabout scored 170/448 due to the raised platforms and narrowings on the approach, which both help to reduce speeds of users entering the intersection. Regardless of the cause of the crash, the speed will determine the severity of the outcome. The safer crossings also support movements for people walking in the community.

4.4 The proposed signal-controlled option score is 191/448. The traffic signals will provide some benefits to reducing crash occurrence with the addition of controls on each approach, however it is acknowledged that these are less than the benefits derived from an improved roundabout. For safe system alignment, any new signals would require a raised safety platform to ensure that should a collision occur the impact speeds would be at the survivable speed level.

4.5 Option to maintain the status quo:

4.6 The advantages of this option include:

4.6.1 There are no advantages to maintaining the status quo. There have been several serious and minor injury crashes involving people riding on two wheels. Safety needs to be addressed at this location to reduce the ongoing risk to people using travel modes other than vehicles.

4.7 The disadvantages of the option include:

4.7.1 Does not address the safety concerns.

4.8 Option to control by traffic signals:

4.9 The advantages of this option include:

4.9.1 Movements are controlled by traffic signals so during peak hours, each approach to an intersection will be provided with time for vehicles to cross or turn at an intersection.

4.9.2 Provides pedestrian crossings controlled by traffic signals. Subject to design these crossings can be fully protected by holding traffic back from turning when pedestrians are crossing through the use of arrows at the cost of time to vehicles.

4.9.3 At signalised intersections different movements are separated in time and therefore the risk to compliant cyclists is generally lower than at unsignalised intersections.

4.10 The disadvantages of the option include:

4.10.1 Creates additional delay to all road users at off-peak times.

4.10.2 Traffic signals alone are not a primary safe system treatment and the risk of collision to all road users including active transport users remains. To address this, a raised safety platform would be incorporated into the design.

4.10.3 The estimated construction cost of a signal-controlled intersection, excluding land purchase, lighting upgrades and design and management, but including the raised safety platform would be approximately $2.5 million.

5. Detail Te Whakamahuki

5.1 The roundabout is located in the suburb of Cashmere. Located close to the intersection is Thorrington School, Cashmere High School and the Colombo Street shops.

5.2 There is generally a single approach and departure lane on each arm of the intersection, with the exception of Dyers Pass Road that has a short-left turn slip lane.

5.3 Pedestrians are provided with a crossing point through the median islands on the Centaurus Road approach and the Colombo Street approach. These two legs of the intersection also accommodate on road cycle lanes. There is a bus lane on Cashmere Road on the approach to the intersection.

5.4 There are over 2250 vehicles using this intersection in the morning peak, and over 2400 in the evening peak. Outside of peaks this number drops to under 1500.

5.5 There are over 65 cyclists travelling through the roundabout in the morning peak and over 90 in the evening peak. Some bikes accommodate two or more people, as caregivers were observed carrying children also on bicycles or in trailers.

5.6 There are large numbers of people walking and scootering through the intersection, with the main demand in the morning peak from school children travelling to Cashmere High and younger children with caregivers walking towards Thorrington School.

5.7 There are two core bus routes that travel through this intersection, the number 1 service Rangiora/Cashmere and the Orbiter. Both provide high frequency services for passengers.

5.8 There is a high collective and personal risk at the intersection due to the number of users at the intersection including those who walk, cycle and scoot. The key crash type at this intersection is right angle and right turn against.

5.9 The most significant issue at the intersection is the high number of active modes using the roundabout and the crash risk to those users (including motorcycles) and the high number of right-angle crashes.

5.10 Following consultation, a number of changes have been made to the proposal, these include:

5.10.1 Further investigation during detailed design into the marking and delineation between users on the north-east corner outside Protocol.

5.10.2 Hold rails at pedestrian crossings.

5.10.3 Additional signage and road markings including sharrows.

5.10.4 Changes to speed limits on each approach to the intersection. Approval for this will be sought through the Interim Speed Management Plan (Safe Speed Neighbourhood Programme).

5.10.5 Additional education for people who ride and drive through the intersection. This will also include merging for a person on a bicycle to claim the lane.

5.11 The decision affects the following Community Board areas:

5.11.1 Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote

6. Community Views and Preferences Ngā mariu ā-Hāpori

Public Consultation Te Tukanga Kōrerorero

6.1 Between 16 November and 14 December 2022, 426 groups and individuals made submissions on the Cashmere Road, Colombo Street, Centaurus Road and Dyers Pass Road – safety improvements.

6.2 We delivered 168 consultation documents within the vicinity of the roundabout, emailed 61 key stakeholders and put the project on Have Your Say. We had copies available at the Beckenham Service Centre and Civic Offices. We ran a Newsline story which generated 1924 views and our social media post was viewed 2864 times. We also shared our post with three local community Facebook pages.

6.3 We visited all the businesses on Colombo Street and Cashmere Road near the roundabout to discuss the plan and answer any questions.

6.4 We also met with the owner of the group of shops on the east side of Colombo Street at the intersection. Following this meeting, two P10 parking spaces were added to Remuera Avenue at the Colombo Street intersection to assist with short term parking turnover.

Summary of Submissions Ngā Tāpaetanga

6.5 Submissions were made by five recognised organisations including those related to transport (Canterbury AA), Resident Associations (Governors Bay Community Association), cycling (SPOKES), education (Ministry of Education, on behalf of Thorrington School and Cashmere High School) and emergency services (Fire and Emergency New Zealand) and businesses (owner of 8-12 Colombo Street shops and Ōtoromiro Hotel).

6.6 Areas where submissions were received:

· 162 live within the vicinity of the roundabout

· 183 live in the wider area

· 81 live in Banks Peninsula

6.7 We did not specifically ask for feedback on whether people supported the project or not as the real value is in the comments we receive, as this helps us to understand what people like or dislike about the proposed changes. As part of our analysis, we noted where submissions clearly indicated support or opposition to the changes.

6.8 Table of results

General response	Local	City-wide	Banks Peninsula	Total
Clearly support	29	53	4	86
Clearly oppose	55	59	29	143
No clear indication	78	71	48	197
General response	Local	City-wide	Banks Peninsula	Total
Total	162	183	81	426

6.9 We received 86 submissions that provided positive comments relating to increased safety for cyclists, pedestrians, drivers and also for the many school children who use this roundabout.

6.10 Many submitters discussed issues with plan including:

· 153 submitters believe the solution to the safety issues at this intersection is to install traffic signals.

· 117 submitters felt that the changes that are proposed would cause what is already a busy intersection to become even more congested.

· We heard from 107 submitters who were concerned about the location of the pedestrian crossings. The main concern being the safety of pedestrians and cars/buses/trucks encroaching into the intersection if having to stop to let a pedestrian cross.

· The approach from Dyers Pass Road into the roundabout raised several issues from 54 submitters. The main concerns raised were the speed of cyclists coming down Dyers Pass Road and into the intersection and navigating a platform, the visibility when entering the roundabout is not very clear, and numerous concerns about the removal of left-hand slip lane (adding to the queuing in peak traffic).

· 50 submitters were concerned about the narrowing of the lanes entering the roundabout and the cyclists now having to share the space with vehicles. Submissions raised safety concerns for cyclists which reflected on both driver and cyclist behaviour.

6.11 We also received feedback raising concerns that Remuera Avenue would become a rat-run with these changes, similar concerns regarding Merlewood Avenue, and also the design was quite busy and could be confusing to people using the intersection.

6.12 We asked submitters how they used the intersection with options of vehicle, cycle, walk and bus. Most submitters use two or more modes of transport to travel through the roundabout.

6.13 Based on the feedback of mode use the majority of vehicle users either did not support the proposal or did not give a clear indication. There was stronger support from cyclists and pedestrians on the changes.

6.14 The majority of submitters who live within the vicinity of the roundabout eg. Cashmere, either did not support the changes or did not give a clear indication. The main concerns from the local community were around increase congestion and the operation of the roundabout, and also the safety of cyclists sharing the lane with vehicles. Most felt the roundabout operates well with anything needing change.

6.15 Likewise with submissions from Banks Peninsula as many of these submitters use Dyers Pass Road as their route into the city, felt the changes would cause even more congestion than what is currently being experienced. Main concerns were also related to the removal of the left slip lane and the speed on cyclists coming down the hill.

6.16 City wide submitters were evenly spread with similar concerns both in support and opposition to the project.

6.17 Across all areas, the majority of feedback was that the only way to improve the safety and the operation of the intersection was to install traffic signals.

Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board

13 April 2023

10. Woodlau Rise Proposed No Stopping Restrictions
Reference Te Tohutoro:	23/161863
Report of Te Pou Matua:	Toni Dakers, Traffic Engineer, toni.dakers@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-Heathcote Community Board to approve the installation of No Stopping restrictions on the bend outside 8a-10 Woodlau Rise. This report has been written in response to a request from a member of the public for Council to consider installing no stopping restrictions to prevent drivers from parking on this steep bend where there is poor visibility to oncoming traffic.

1.2 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 recommended decision.

1.3 The community engagement and consultation outlined in this report reflect the assessment.

1.4 The recommended option is to Install No Stopping restrictions in accordance with Attachment A.

2. Staff Recommendations / Ngā Tūtohu

That the Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote 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 all times on the south side of Woodlau Rise, commencing at a point 49 metres east of its intersection with Brickworks Lane and extending in a northeast then southeast direction for a distance of 60 metres, as detailed on the plan included as Attachment A to this report (8A-10 Woodlau Rise Proposed No Stopping Restrictions, TG144325, dated 06/03/2023).

2. Revokes any previous resolutions pertaining to parking and stopping restrictions made pursuant to any bylaw to the extent that they are in conflict with resolution 1 above.

3. Approves that these resolutions take effect when parking signage and/or road marking that evidence the restrictions described in the staff report are in place (or removed in the case of revocations).

3. Reason for Report Recommendations Ngā Take mō te Whakatau

3.1 Safety concerns have been raised by residents of Woodlau Rise about vehicles parking on the steep bend between 8A-10 Woodlau Rise.

3.2 Downhill / westbound drivers are required to cross the centreline to manoeuvre around parked vehicles in a location where forward visibly is poor due to the steep grade and alignment of the curve in this location.

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 The recommended option is to install No Stopping restrictions in accordance with Attachment A.

4. Alternative Options Considered Ētahi atu Kōwhiringa

4.1 Maintain the status quo – Do nothing

4.2 The advantages of this option include:

4.2.1 Retaining space for up to five vehicles to park on-street based on the length of the kerb. However due to the steep grade of the road in this location, it was observed that generally only one or two drivers at a time were choosing to park here.

4.3 The disadvantages of the option include:

4.3.1 Does not address the residents’ concerns about drivers parking in a location that causes a safety issue for through traffic.

5. Detail Te Whakamahuki

5.1 Woodlau Rise is a local road providing access to residential properties. Mamaku Lane intersects with Woodlau Rise on the outside of the bend, opposite 8 Woodlau Rise. Six residential properties have access from this Private Lane.

5.2 On-street parking is limited in this immediate area due to the topography and number of residential driveways, particularly on the north side of the road. However all properties do have off street parking options.

5.3 There have been no crashes reported on Woodlau Rise in the last five years.

5.4 Approval is required by the Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board.

5.5 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).

Community Views and Preferences

5.6 Affected property owners and residents were advised of the recommended option by letter.

5.7 A total of 16 letters were sent to affected properties on Woodlau Rise and Mamaku Lane.

5.8 Three submissions were received, all supportive of the proposal.

5.9 The Team Leader Parking Compliance supports the preferred option.

5.10 The do nothing option is inconsistent with community requests to improve safety in this location.

6. Policy Framework Implications Ngā Hīraunga ā- Kaupapa here

11. Waltham Road Marking of Cycle Lanes Between Moorhouse Avenue and Brougham Street
Reference / Te Tohutoro:	23/184718
Report of / Te Pou Matua:	Michael Ferigo, Transport Planner - Sustainable Transport,(michael.ferigo@ccc.govt.nz) Kiran Skelton, Engagement Advisor (kiran.skelton@ccc.govt.nz)
General Manager / Pouwhakarae:	Mary Richardson, General Manager Citizens & Community (Mary.Richardson@ccc.govt.nz)

1. Nature of Decision or Issue and Report Origin

1.1 The purpose of this report is for the Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board to consider the consulted proposal for cycle improvements, and make recommendations to Council to adopt the supporting lane marking changes.

1.2 The Christchurch Transport Strategic Plan recognises and supports measures to improve cycling within Christchurch. This project is identified as a local cycleway within the Plan and within the Long Term Plan capital programme.

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.

2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu

That the Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board recommend to Council that it approves, pursuant to Clause 18 of the Christchurch City Council Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2017:

1. That Special Vehicle Lanes (Cycle Lane) be installed on the west side of Waltham Road from the intersection of Brougham Street and extending in a northerly direction for a distance of 261 metres to the intersection of Wordsworth Street.

2. That Special Vehicle Lanes (Cycle Lane) be installed on the west side of Waltham Road from the intersection of Wordsworth Street and extending in a northerly direction for a distance of 542 metres to the intersection at Moorhouse Avenue.

3. That Special Vehicle Lanes (Cycle Lane) be installed on the east side of Waltham Road from the intersection of Moorhouse Avenue and extending in a southerly direction for a distance of 30 metres.

4. That Special Vehicle Lanes (Cycle Lane) be installed on the east side of Waltham Road from the intersection of Shakespeare Road and extending in a northerly direction for a distance of 275 metres.

5. That Special Vehicle Lanes (Cycle Lane) be installed on the east side of Waltham Road from the intersection of Shakespeare Road and extending in a southerly direction for a distance of 235 metres to the intersection of Brougham Street.

That the Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board:

6. Approves, pursuant to Section 334 of the Local Government Act 1974, the lane marking changes and road marking changes on Waltham Road as detailed on plan, For Approval - tp356901 in attachment A.

7. Approves that the stopping of all vehicles be prohibited at any time, in accordance with Clause 7 of the Christchurch City Council Traffic & Parking Bylaw 2017, on the west side of Waltham Road commencing at its intersection with Brougham Street, and extending in a northerly direction for a distance of 18 metres.

8. Approves that the stopping of all vehicles be prohibited at any time, in accordance with Clause 7 of the Christchurch City Council Traffic & Parking Bylaw 2017, on the west side of Waltham Road commencing at its intersection with Kingsley Street, and extending in a northerly direction for a distance of 655 metres.

9. Approves that the stopping of all vehicles be prohibited at any time, in accordance with Clause 7 of the Christchurch City Council Traffic & Parking Bylaw 2017, on the east side of Waltham Road commencing at its intersection with Mowbray Street, and extending in a southerly direction for a distance of 427 metres.

10. Approves that the stopping of all vehicles be prohibited at any time, in accordance with Clause 7 of the Christchurch City Council Traffic & Parking Bylaw 2017, on the east side of Waltham Road commencing at its intersection with Brougham Street, and extending in a southerly direction for a distance of 118 metres.

11. Approves that any previously approved resolutions on Waltham Road, from its intersection with Brougham Street to its intersection with Moorhouse Avenue, pertaining to parking and /or stopping restrictions, made pursuant to any bylaw or any Land Transport Rule, to the extent that they are in conflict with the parking and /or stopping restrictions described in recommendations 6 to 10 above, be revoked.

3. Reason for Report Recommendations Ngā Take mō te Whakatau

3.1 Currently there is a gap in the provision of cycle lanes along Waltham Road. This project proposes to address this gap by providing continuous cycle lanes between the main intersections. The proposal will result in providing a more consistent level of comfort and safety for people when travelling along Waltham Road.

3.2 Better utilisation of the existing road carriageway layout and supporting sustainable transport modes.

3.3 Minimal parking removal that the community has accepted in the interest of improved prioritisation to safe sustainable movement use on the road carriageway.

4. Alternative Options Considered Ētahi atu Kōwhiringa

4.1 Maintain the status quo

4.1.1 The advantages of this option include:

· There is no cost to Council.

4.1.2 The disadvantage of this option include:

· Does not support safer outcomes for people using this section of Waltham Road.

· Is inconsistent with the Councils Strategic Framework Priorities of ‘Meeting the challenge of climate change through every means possible’ and its strategies - Christchurch Transport Strategic Plan and the Road to Zero safety targets.

5. Detail Te Whakamahuki

5.1 Waltham Road and Wilsons Road South provide a radial commuting route connecting the inner city with the south eastern residential suburbs, schools and recreational port hills cycle trails, the Waltham outdoor pool and the St Martins shopping centre. Throughout the majority of the three kilometres of Waltham Road and Wilsons Road South’s length cycle lanes are provided, however within the 800 metre section of Waltham Road, closest to the inner city, there are sections with no cycle lanes. In these sections there are pinch points and narrow widths that make for uncomfortable and less safe riding conditions within the edge of a shared traffic lane environment.

5.2 This project is part of a programme of funding for works within the 2022/23 year under Local Cycleway Connections, Signs and Markings and also with additional resourcing from the wider traffic markings programme listed in the Long Term Plan.

5.3 The project involves only paint and pavement markings, with no construction, and if approved is scheduled to be implemented within this financial year.

5.4 Waltham Road is identified within the Councils Christchurch Strategic Transport Plan as a local cycleway route. This proposal looks to complete the cycle lane provision within the section from Brougham Street to Moorhouse Avenue. The new cycle lanes will remove pinch points and visually highlight areas where there are higher interactions and potential conflict with other road users, particularly in the approaches and departures at intersections through strategically limited localised use of colour surfacing.

5.5 A significant issue reported from cyclists on this route is of drivers encroaching into the existing cycle lane on the western side of Waltham Road in the approach down the bridge to the Moorhouse Avenue intersection. Whilst the left turn traffic lane adjacent to the kerb side cycle lane is wide enough for motorist to queue within, drivers regularly ‘drift’ into, queue and stop within the existing narrow cycle lane. The main concern - other than the legal issue or convenience - is the lack of safety for cyclists. The bridge, with a built high kerb offers cyclists little option for evasive actions from encroaching motorists. This project applies a series of short blocks of colour surfacing to highlight the existing cycle lane, and where possible slightly widens the narrow cycle lane. The road carriageway width on the bridge is very constrained and this is evidenced in the widths of all the marked lanes, however some marginal gains have been identified by reducing the traffic lane widths to target a cycle lane width of around 1.6 meters. It is expected that these proposed actions will significantly improve this issue.

5.6 To fully address this issue of encroachment a future option could be to widen the footpath along the whole of the bridges western side to create a physically separated shared path. This would be similar to the bridges eastern side constructed layout where cyclists use a shared pathway when southbound. This would result in a physically separated cycle facility but as a current option it is outside the budget scope of this project. The option, if still needed after this projects mitigation, can be put forward for Council consideration within the cycle network future budget improvement programme.

5.7 Improved connections between intersecting cycle route, through the introduction of hook turn markings at the intersection with Wordsworth and Shakespeare Roads.

5.8 The removal of a section of existing unrestricted on-road parking space, on the western side of the departure leg of Waltham Road with Brougham Street. This will provide an improved merge and alignment length at the start of the new cycle lane once crossed from Brougham Street.

5.9 The removal of an 18-metre, five minute on-road loading zone marked on the western side of Waltham Road, immediately in front of the property at number 233, to provide enough width for the new cycle lane. The immediate businesses have expressed that they have adequate parking, customer parking and loading options within their properties. It is evident that the loading zone which dates back twenty years is no longer needed and superfluous to the businesses current needs. It repurpose to support improved provision for cycling is proposed freeing up the complete block to provide a kerb Side cycle lane.

5.10 Reduction of the width of adjacent traffic lanes where needed. This will provide enough width for the cycle lanes, and is required alongside the new cycle lanes, and on the western side of the bridge section, to widen the existing narrow cycle lane.

5.11 The existing bus stop is scheduled to be reviewed as part of a route wide assessment in the near future. As such this project is not proposing any variations to the existing bus stop position and layout.

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

5.12.1 The Whaihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board area

6. Community Views and Preferences Ngā mariu ā-Hāpori

6.1 Consultation started on 18 October 2022 and ran until 9 November 2022. During this time 62 businesses along Waltham Road were door knocked by staff with a Project Information leaflet explaining the project and inviting them to give feedback.

6.2 All businesses that staff engaged with along the road expressed support, were happy with the overall plan and what was proposed on the road adjacent to their property and with the removal of parking on the corner of Brougham Street and Waltham Road.

6.3 The business (235 Waltham Road) directly adjacent to the P5 parking, that is proposed to be repurposed into a cycle lane, expressed they were happy with this change as delivery vehicles use their on-site loading bay.

6.4 Businesses that were absent were left with a Project Information Leaflet in their mailbox. Staff did not hear from any businesses who were left a letter.

6.5 One Project Information Leaflet from a member of the public was received – suggesting several alternative cycle improvements that are outside the scope and budget of this project. They were responded to and are to be considered for future planning or were notified to maintenance or forwarded to Public Transport operations.
