8. Streets For People Aranui Connections
Reference / Te Tohutoro:	23/1919854
Report of / Te Pou Matua:	Shaleen Prasad-Kumar (Shaleen.prasadkumar@ccc.govt.nz)
Senior Manager / Pouwhakarae:	Jane Parfitt, Interim General Manager Infrastructure, Planning and Regulatory Services (Jane.Parfitt@ccc.govt.nz)

1. Purpose and Origin of Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo

1.1 The purpose of the report is to present two options for the Streets For People Aranui Connections project - Option 1 and Option 4. Option 1 is the recommended option, which included separated unidirectional cycle lanes on both sides of Breezes Road.

1.2 Seek approval from the Community Board for the option recommended by the staff, intended for implementation and trial.

2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu

That the Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board recommend that the Council:

1. Approve the implementation of Option 1 for a four-month trial period which includes a separated unidirectional cycleway on both sides of Breezes Road, spanning from the current Chisnallwood Intermediate pedestrian crossing to Pages Road.

3. Reason for Report Recommendations Ngā Take mō te Whakatau

3.1 On 6 November 2023, the Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board declined the design of the pilot scheme to implement a separated unidirectional cycleway on both sides of Breezes Road between the Chisnallwood Intermediate pedestrian crossing and Pages Road, which was the staff recommendation. In this, the Board requested staff to report back on an option for a temporary cycleway including Option 4 bi-Directional as soon as possible.

3.2 Option 1 continues to be the officer recommended option, as the separated unidirectional cycleways provides the highest level of safety for users and the highest potential increase in cycling.

3.3 The Waka Kotahi separated cycleway option tool (SCOT) provides a relative risk analysis score which can be seen below for Options 1 and 4. Option 4 has a relative risk analysis which is 1.73x more unsafe than Option 1. From this, the predicted crashes per year for Option 1 is 4.5 predicted crashes over a 10 year period, whereas Option 4 is 3.2 crashes higher at 7.7 predicted crashes over a 10 year period.

Description automatically generated

Advantages of Option 1 - unidirectional cycle facility include:

3.4 Increased safety for all users, as there is no new introduced conflicts created (cyclists travelling contra-flow to traffic flow are at three times the risk of being hit compared to cyclists travelling in the traffic flow direction, shown in the SCOT’s analysis).

3.5 Cost effective to install due to no new crossings required.

3.6 Continuous instinctive alignment of cycleway (no requirement to cross Breezes Road multiple times).

3.7 Less invasive installation as existing parking lanes are being used for the cycle lanes.

Disadvantages include:

3.8 Loss of 88% of car parking along Breezes Road with 18 retained and 129 lost.

3.9 Kerb and channel works required at both existing crossings to provide enough road width for unidirectional cycleways.

4. Alternative Options Considered Ētahi atu Kōwhiringa

4.1 Option 4 – A bi-directional cycleway on Breezes Road has been investigated on the request of the Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board. The bi-directional cycleway has been investigated due to concerns raised regarding the proposed amount of parking loss along Breezes Road in Option 1.

Advantages include:

4.2 Less number of parking loss along on Breezes Road. Total loss of 69% of car parking along Breezes Road (45 retained, 102 lost).

4.3 Cul de sacking of Gosport Street would remove the risk of contra-flowing cyclists being hit by motorists entering Breezes Road.

Disadvantages include:

4.4 1.73x higher relative risk analysis score that Option 1 due to contraflowing cyclists.

4.5 Increased construction and monitoring cost due to more physical works required. This includes an extra pedestrian crossing at the Pages Road end, to provide cyclists a safe way to cross back to the correct side of the road. A speed platform is required to reduce speeds to acceptable limits. In addition, new street lighting is required for the proposed pedestrian crossing.

4.6 Multiple crossings required by cyclists, likely leading to the more confident cyclists not using the bi-directional facility and continuing along the live lane for a more intuitive and direct route.

4.7 Significant amount of road marking removal required along the full length of Breezes Road to allow for the new centre line alignment.

4.8 The Breezes Road/Wainoni Road intersection requires the Breezes Road approaches to be completely remarked in a new arrangement due to the bi-directional cycleway installation, which further increases the cost.

5. Detail Te Whakamahuki

Public Consultation Te Tukanga Kōrerorero

5.1 Consultation on the Aranui Street Project ran from 13 September to 2 October 2023.

5.2 Two options were consulted on, these were Option 1 unidirectional cycleway and Option 2 Separated unidirectional cycle lane (south side) and shared path (north side).

5.3 On the Kōrero Mai webpage, we heard from two recognised organisations and 41 individuals (18 from Aranui/Avondale/Wainoni, 19 from broader Christchurch, the location of four were unknown).

5.4 Feedback on cycle infrastructure included:

· 22 (51%) preferred Option 1: Unidirectional cycleway, which is a separated cycle lane on either side of Breezes Road

· Safer/don’t like shared paths because of safety concerns (10)

· Better-quality cycling infrastructure for their community/will encourage more cycling (4)

· Enough parking supply in the area even with this reduction (2)

· Seven (16%) preferred Option 2: a shared path on the north side and separated cycle lane on the south side of Breezes Road

· Residential parking loss concern (4)

· Three (7%) selected ‘other’ – and requested no change

· Road width concern (2)

· Of those living on Breezes Road, five preferred Option 1 and one preferred Option 2.

5.5 The Waitai Costal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board were briefed on the full community views and preferences of consultation on the Aranui Streets Project at their 6 November 2023 meeting.

5.6 With the timeframes required to get back to the Community Board and still allow for the adaptation required by the Streets for People programme, no feedback on cycleway Option 4 has been received in time to be included in this report.

5.7 Letters notifying stakeholders of Option 4 were delivered to the 50 properties now affected by parking loss, that was not included in Option 1 or 2 or the proposed cul-de-sac.

5.8 Emails were sent to the 32 submitters who commented on cycle infrastructure in the original consultation, emergency services, local schools, and community organisations.

5.9 Any feedback received between 25 November – 11 December will be presented to the Community Board as part of the staff presentation and via memo prior to the meeting.

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

5.10.1 Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood.

5.10.2 Next steps – After the trial is complete, staff will present the Board with the results of the four month trial, for a discussion on the next steps.

6. Policy Framework Implications Ngā Hīraunga ā- Kaupapa here

Strategic AlignmentTe Rautaki Tīaroaro

6.1 The project aligns with Council’s strategic priorities, including enabling active and connected communities and meeting the challenge of climate change through every means available.

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

6.3 Transport

6.3.1 Activity: Transport

· Level of Service: 10.5.39 Increase the numbers of people cycling into the central city - >=2,000 cyclists Level of Service: 10.0.2 Increase the share of non-car modes in daily trips - >=36% of trips undertaken by non-car modes.

· Level of Service: 10.0.6.1 Reduce the number of death and serious injury crashes on the local road network - <=100 crashes.

· Level of Service: 10.5.1 Limit deaths and serious injury crashes per capita for cyclists and pedestrians - <= 12 crashes per 100,000 residents.

· Level of Service: 10.5.2 Improve the perception that Christchurch is a cycling friendly city - >=66% resident satisfaction.

· Level of Service: 10.5.3 More people are choosing to travel by cycling - >=12,500 average daily cyclist detections.

· Level of Service: 10.0.41 Reduce emissions and greenhouse gases related to transport - <=1.10 million tonnes of CO2 equivalents.

· Level of Service: 10.5.42 Increase the infrastructure provision for active and public modes - >= 585 kilometres (total combined length).

· Level of Service: 16.0.10 Maintain the perception that Christchurch is a walking friendly city - >=85% resident satisfaction.

Policy Consistency Te Whai Kaupapa here

6.4 The decision is consistent with Council’s Plans and Policies, in particular: The changes made align with road safety and liveable streets goals in the Christchurch Transport Strategic Plan 2012-2042 and similarly to the draft Transport Plan (safe streets).

6.5 The changes made align with Kia tūroa te Ao – Ōtautahi Christchurch Climate Resilience Strategy as outlined below under Climate Change Impact Considerations.

6.6 Improving safety on local roads is a priority for Council. Increasing the safety and accessibility of footpaths and cycle lanes and encouraging active modes of transport is one of several focus areas to achieve this.

Impact on Mana Whenua Ngā Whai Take Mana Whenua

6.7 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.

6.8 The decision does not involve a matter of interest to Mana Whenua and will not impact on our agreed partnership priorities with Ngā Papatipu Rūnanga.

Climate Change Impact Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Āhuarangi

6.9 The decisions in this report are likely to:

6.9.1 Contribute positively to adaptation to the impacts of climate change.

6.9.2 Contribute positively to emissions reductions.

6.10 The full scope of works includes the installation of a safe separated cycle facility on Breezes Road, safety improvements to existing pedestrian crossing points, speed calming interventions throughout Aranui and intersection upgrades to support reduced pedestrian crossing distances and slower traffic speeds. All interventions are intended to improve the experiences of travelling around Aranui by active transport modes and seek to address key barriers to active transport identified by students. Therefore, the proposal will likely have a net positive impact for the environment by helping to reduce transport emissions.

6.11 Cycleways are a key part of council’s emissions reduction efforts by providing a low emission way for residents to move around the city.

6.12 The National Emissions Reduction Plan (ERP) states we will have to substantially improve infrastructure for walking and cycling to meet our emissions targets (including a 20% reduction in light Vehicle Kilometres Travelled by 2035 – required under the ERP). Improving the quality of cycling infrastructure is also a key part of the Ministry of Transport and Waka Kotahi’s efforts to decarbonise the transport system.

Accessibility Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Hunga Hauā

6.13 The proposal improves accessibility for walking and cycling and provides a safer means of accessing and using the street network by active modes.

7. Resource Implications Ngā Hīraunga Rauemi

Capex/Opex Ngā Utu Whakahaere

7.1 Cost to Implement -$1 million – 90% Waka Kotahi funded. Note, this is the cost to implement the preferred option. Further costs will be incurred as any adaptations are made during the trial period.

7.2 Maintenance/Ongoing costs - Funded through the Streets for People budget until the end of June 2024.

7.3 Funding Source - The project is 90% funded by Waka Kotahi’s Streets for People programme. The remaining 10% is funded by the transport capital programme.

Other He mea anō

7.4 None.

8. Legal Implications Ngā Hīraunga ā-Ture

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

8.1 The Land Transport Rule: Street Layouts 2023 defines and codifies the process by which Road Controlling Authorities can conduct pilot projects. Under this, and in the absence of specific delegation, Council are the decision-making body to decide on the installation of a trial, and the method by which this is carried out.

8.2 The works are to be installed through a Temporary Traffic Management Plan. The Council has delegated these powers to the Chief Executive, who has in turn delegated them to staff. This gives staff the flexibility to modify the trial in line with the intent of the Rule, without having to return to Council for specific approval.

Other Legal Implications Ētahi atu Hīraunga-ā-Ture

8.3 At the conclusion of the three month trial period, the works will remain in place while a decision is made. A report will be prepared for the Community Board, which will include findings from monitoring and evaluation. Should a recommendation be made to keep some or all of the interventions in place, the report will include traffic and parking resolutions for the Community Board (and, where appropriate, Council) to approve.

9. Risk Management Implications Ngā Hīraunga Tūraru

9.1 The Aranui Streets for People project is designed as a trial initiative, with construction, implementation, and a four-month trial period scheduled from January 2024 to May 2024. A critical project risk is that if the cycleway trial is not approved by February 2024, there won't be sufficient time for construction, hindering a comprehensive monitoring and evaluation process. Throughout the trial, the project team is committed to actively seeking community feedback and conducting thorough monitoring and evaluation activities to gauge the project's success. Adaptations will be considered, particularly in the context of the Breezes Road cycle connection, in response to any significant adverse reactions from the community. This approach ensures that transport interventions can be tested with minimal risk to the Council.

9.2 Option 4 – The bi-directional cycleway would require substantial changes to the Breezes Road and Wainoni Road intersection layout to ensure the safe passage of the bi-directional facility through the intersection. This involves the complete removal of existing road markings, the application of new markings in accordance with the updated layout, and the installation of new separated cycleway infrastructure, including signal lanterns and phasing. If the decision is made to remove the bi-directional facility after the trial period in May, due to weather conditions in June being weather dependent and having lower ground temperatures returning the intersection to the existing layout may take longer to remove. This is a risk to Council if the removal of the bi-directional cycleway facility is not removed in time for the Waka Kotahi funding deadline the end of June 2024.

Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board

11 December 2023

9. Raranga Street - Proposed No Stopping Restrictions
Reference Te Tohutoro:	23/1646875
Report of Te Pou Matua:	Courtney Fale, Traffic Engineer (courtney.fale@ccc.govt.nz
Senior Leader Pouwhakarae:	Mary Richardson, Acting General Manager Infrastructure, Planning & Regulatory Services, mary.richardson@ccc.govt.nz

1. Purpose of the Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo

1.1 For the Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board to consider the approval of No Stopping Restrictions on Raranga Street.

1.2 This report has been written in response to a customer service request from a resident who has expressed concerns with accessibility of the street and related traffic and pedestrian safety issues.

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.

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

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

2. Staff Recommendations / Ngā Tūtohu

That the Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board:

1. Approves, pursuant to Clause 7 of the Christchurch City Council Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2017, that:

a. The stopping of vehicles be prohibited at any time on the northern side of Raranga Street commencing at its intersection with Te Korari Street, extending in an easterly direction then following the road alignment in a southerly direction for a distance of 113 metres.

b. The stopping of vehicles be prohibited at any time on the southern side of Raranga Street commencing at a point 67 metres east of its intersection with Te Korari Street and extending in an easterly direction and along the bend for a distance of 29 metres.

2. Revoke 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 this report.

3. Approve 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 about the level of on-street parking resulting in limited street access and restricted visibility. Implementing the noted recommendations will improve access and lead to a reduction in the risk of a crash by increasing road width for manoeuvrability of emergency vehicles and improving sightlines at the bend.

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 Install No Stopping restrictions in accordance with Attachment A. The length of No Stopping in this option is the minimum length needed to provide drivers sufficient road width and visibility to turn at the corner safely.

4. Alternative Options Considered Ētahi atu Kōwhiringa

Do nothing

4.1 The advantages of this option include:

4.1.1 Retaining approximately 16 on-street parking spaces, although many of these would be considered unsuitable at times.

4.1.2 No cost to Council.

4.2 The disadvantages of the option include:

4.2.1 Does not address safety concerns relating to through access of oversized vehicles, including emergency vehicle access when vehicles are parked in this location.

4.2.2 Does not address concerns relating to people continuing to disregard “no offroad parking” signs on paved area.

5. Detail Te Whakamahuki

5.1 According to residents and employees of the business of Raranga Street, visibility (particularly at the bend) becomes very difficult when vehicles park on the corner and the most northern side of the street causing safety concerns. Raranga Street is approximately 5.7 metres wide and drivers struggle to find space to yield or see oncoming traffic at the bend.

5.2 There are parking demands due to the businesses at 41 - 51 Raranga Street. This complex provides 20 regular and 2 mobility off-street parking spaces for customers of the businesses.

5.3 It has been considered that installation of no stopping restrictions may encourage cars to park on the landscaped/paved area on the northern side of Raranga Street. There are currently two ‘No parking off road’ signs in-situ, while these signs are advisory only (not enforceable), the Parking Compliance team leader has confirmed that cars are prohibited from parking in areas such as this and enforcement action could be taken for any vehicles illegally parked there.

5.4 Being a relatively new subdivision, it is unsurprising that a search of the New Zealand Transport Agency Crash Analysis System identified no crashes on this street to date. Although staff have not received any feedback from Emergency Services or the Waste Management teams regarding accessibility concerns in the street, staff acknowledge that parking on both sides of Raranga Street could cause significant inconveniences especially to larger vehicles and/or cars towing trailers.

5.5 Approval is required by the Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board.

5.6 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

5.7 Staff delivered consultation letters and plans to the four directly affected businesses who, in brief face to face discussion, supported the proposal. No formal written feedback was provided by the affected businesses.

Consultation letters and plans were also sent to the two directly affected properties/residents.

We received one written response in favour of the proposal with the request to extend the No Stopping Restrictions to outside #39 Raranga Street. Cars parked outside this property, along with shrubs at the exit point of the business car park, reduced visibility for the resident exiting their driveway.

After consideration staff believe extending the No Stopping Restrictions would not be appropriate due to the demand for parking near the businesses and the level of visibility being the same as any other driveway in the city. However, staff have requested our road landscaping team address maintenance of the shrubs.

5.8 The Team Leader Parking Compliance supports the preferred option.

5.9 The do nothing option is inconsistent with community requests to improve accessibility and safety of this street.

Activity	Detail	Timeline	Strategic Alignment
New Brighton Guardians	The Guardians are currently at week 8 since they started and have noted up to around 100 incidents that they have either dealt with or been called to. Most of the reoccurring incidents are related to theft from the local Countdown and drinking in areas under the alcohol ban. In most of the later cases the Guardians have been successful in reminding people of the ban and moving them on. The Guardians have noted the rise of occurrences of abuse towards the security guards working in the area at the local businesses, including physical assault at the WINZ offices. The local Community organisations and business are feeling safer overall, but there is still concern about the amount of incidents occurring every week.	On-going	New Brighton Mall – Advocate for improved amenities to improve safety, accessibility and public perception of the mall
Parklands/Queenspark Hui	The group have now meet four times. The first priority was to collect data about what services/programmes that are available in the community and then to share this information through a community newsletter/directory. Park Life has been developed with contributions from local groups and will be delivered prior to Christmas. The intent is to have a quarterly newsletter. The next one will be distributed in March/April 2024.	Ongoing	Safety initiative
Elevate Youth Workers/Community Hui	An Elevate Youth Hui was held on Wednesday 21 November where twelve organisations attended.

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]

· Roy Stokes Hall

Youth Alive Trust have recently been selected to take over custodianship of Roy Stokes Hall in New Brighton.

The background of the hall dates back to 1977 when members of the New Brighton Community fundraised to build it as a community asset. It’s been a popular place for many community services, events and programmes. Youth Alive Trust (YAT) ran some of its clubs from there before the Beach Campus building was bought, as did the church. After the earthquakes, the hall was used as a Recovery Centre and food hub, supporting thousands of people everyday while YAT ran children’s programmes on the school grounds next door.

The Central New Brighton School used it as their main school hall, as it was built on Ministry of Education land, before the school left the site in 2015, and was bought by DCL (Development Christchurch Ltd) and then sold to housing developers. There was a large outcry at the time from the community through petitions, meetings and media not to sell the hall, so DCL, which became ChristchurchNZ, agreed to save the hall and not sell it.

Life in Vacant Spaces have been looking after the hall for the past few years and it has been home to the Christchurch Circus Centre and the T.O.I Collective as well as hosting many events, mākete, different programs and activities.

Now under the kaitiaki of Youth Alive Trust, the hall will continue to serve the greater Brighton hāpori, with the space available for a wide variety of organisations, community groups and activities to access.

· New Roof for New Brighton Museum

The New Brighton and Districts Historical Society and Museum have a brand new roof, with work completed in late November. For a while their popular Golden Oldie Movies they run every Monday afternoon have had to be put on hold whilst the roof was being rebuilt. A full schedule of movies started back on 4 December with around 40 people in attendance. Despite the disruptions, working around pieces of corrugated iron lying about the place, the team of volunteers at the Museum are steaming ahead with their plans for the 50^th Anniversary of the Commonwealth Games held at QEII. The Museum will be transformed into a smorgasbord of displays of memorabilia and artifacts from the 1974 Commonwealth Games. Officially opening Saturday 13 January 2024 with the ribbon cutting the Anniversary celebrations will continue with a variety of activities linking in with Christchurch’s event at Te Pae on the weekend of the 27^th January 2024.

· LinWard Collective

The LinWard Collective met on Tuesday 5 December 2023 at Bromley Community Centre for their regular monthly catch up and collaboration. Along with local Community Governance and Libraries staff, in attendance were Te Whare Taonga o Ngā Iwi Katoa, Bromley Community Association, St Chad's Anglican Church, Linwood Avenue Community Corner Trust and Christchurch Methodist Mission who all operate within the Linwood ward area delivering community development.

The organisations who make up the Collective have committed to meeting each month to give updates on their mahi and create a forum for sharing of information, support each other and stimulate collaboration. This month Te Kete Wānanga o Ihutai (Linwood Library) showed the group a social network web they had worked on, mapping out all of the links between Christchurch City Council, Government Agencies, community organisations and residents.

· Hampshire Street Bollards and Planters

As part of the Streets for people Aranui Project staff have been working with the Aranui Partners Group, which is made up by a number of local organisations, Police, Kaianga Ora and Local Schools, to improve the safety in the immediate area surrounding the Hampshire Street shops. There was regular illegal parking in the central median making crossing the street dangerous for pedestrians as well as other road users.

In addition to the Bollards, planter boxes have also been added to the shop fronts to act both as a deterrent for potential ramraids but also to improve the visual aesthetics of the area. Work is being undertaken to have the planter boxes painted by local school students with designs currently being created which are to be finalised before the end of 2023.

3.4 Governance Advice

3.4.1 New Brighton Guardians

At its meeting on 11 September 2023, the Board resolved to request that the Board Chair writes to Police and the Ministry of Social Development to ask for funding to support the New Brighton Guardians and other safety initiatives in the ward area. For the Board’s information, a response from the Police Correspondence Administrator dated 2 November 2023 is below:

I acknowledge your email of 28 September 2023 containing a letter from the Chairperson of Waitai Costal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board regarding a potential partnership to ensure ongoing funding for the New Brighton Guardians.

Thank you for taking the time to write. Due to the current Minister of Police operating under the caretaker convention, the Minister is constrained in her ability to respond to the concerns you raise. Until the new government has been appointed, the incumbent Government will operate in accordance with the caretaker convention.

I recommend you re-address your correspondence with the new Minister of Police, once appointed.

Thank you for taking the time to write.

At its meeting on 6 November 2023, the Board received a response from the Ministry of Social Development by of correspondence. Whilst receiving the correspondence, the Board requested that the Chairperson writes to the Chief Executive to request funding from the Metropolitan Better Off Fund to the New Brighton Guardians to enable its extension beyond the trial period for a further two years. Attached for the Board’s information is the letter to the Chief Executive dated 20 November 2023 (refer Attachment B).

The following response has been received from John Filsell, Head of Community Support and Partnership Unit on behalf of the Chief Executive:

Thank you for your letter to the Chief Executive dated 20 November, requesting funding from the Metropolitan Better-Off Fund to support the continued provision of New Brighton Guardians. I am replying on behalf of the Chief Executive.

It is good to hear that that the New Brighton Guardians trial, funded from the Capital Endowment Fund, has been a success; and that the Board are contemplating its extension for two years.

The Waitai Community Board has now been allocated $500,000 of Better Off Funding for locally-based projects. This is the appropriate fund from which the Board can consider an application from The New Brighton Guardians Project. It meets the Fund criteria, being a locally-based eligible project.

The community governance team can process an application promptly to enable the Board to make a decision prior to the existing funding coming to an end in February 2024. If you would like any further information on community funding please contact your local governance team in the first instance.

3.4.2 Lower Styx Road – Walking/Cycling Shoulder

At its meeting on 11 September 2023, the Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board received a public forum presentation from Victoria Lindley in relation to the possibility of having a walking/cycling shoulder along Lower Styx Road. Council staff have provided the following response which has been shared with Victoria Lindley:

This has been discussed this with a member of our Transport Planning team and it has been advised a cycleway for this road is not included in the current Long Term Plan.

The draft Safer Speed Plan proposes a reduction of the speed limit on Lower Styx Road from 80km/hr to 60km/hr with the intention for this to be implemented within the next three years (subject to approval from Council). While we acknowledge this does not address the road capacity issue, it will positively impact safety of cyclists.

The Community Board may choose to advocate for a cycleway to be considered as part of the next Long Term Plan, alternatively, shoulder widening could also be considered by the Board to provide space for cycling.

A suggestion has been provided to the Transport Operations List to add shoulder widening to the list of potential projects where it will be prioritised accordingly as part of the minor safety improvements budget.

3.4.3 Clarendon Terrace – Traffic Calming Measures

At its meeting on 11 September 2023, the Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board received an item of correspondence and a deputation from Ian Campbell in relation to traffic calming measures on Clarendon Terrace. Council staff have provided the following response which has been shared with Ian Campbell:

Clarendon Terrace has a current speed limit of 50km/hr with 3 speed humps along its length. As part of the approved ‘Safe speed neighbourhoods’ programme, by the end of the current financial year speed limits along the entire length of Clarendon Terrace will be reduced to 30Km/hr.

The requirement for further traffic calming measures will therefore be monitored following the implementation of the reduced speed limit.

3.4.4 Ornamental Status

At its meeting on 12 June 2023, the Board received a public forum presentation from local resident Lynn Hayes requesting ornamental status of Amelia Rogers Reserve, Jack Hinton Memorial and ANZAC Drive Reserve as well as the reinstatement of two missing plaques. For the Board’s information, attached is a staff memorandum responding to the ornamental status request (refer Attachment C) and below is a response in relation to the plaques:

1. The plaque at the Amelia Rodgers Reserve has been placed on the plaque replacement programme list. Unfortunately a timeline is not available for when the plaque will be replaced but it will be done when budget and time allows.

2. We have been unable to locate an image to replicate the missing plaque at QEII which commemorates the plating of the tree for the queens visit to New Zealand and the naming of QEII Park. Once we have all the information/image of the plaque this will also be placed on the plaque replacement programme.

3.4.5 Parnwell Street Petition

At its meeting on 11September 2023, the Board received a petition from Amy Cummins in relation to safety concerns on Parnwell Street. Staff have provided the following response:

Amy Cummins, on behalf of the residents of Parnwell Street, presented a petition to the Board with concerns around:

· The current speed limit of 50km/hr on Parnwell Street

· The volume and speeds of vehicles using Parnwell Street

· Intersection safety

Parnwell Street is a local street in the roading hierarchy, with Bassett Street being an urban connector. Basset Street is the route that vehicles, particularly heavy vehicles, should be using. It is acknowledged that there is a no right turn in movement from State Highway 74 Travis Road to Bassett Street and therefore Parnwell Street is used by more southbound vehicles. However, all vehicles travelling along Parnwell Street should be adhering to the posted speed limit.

To understand the speeds and volumes of vehicles, staff have requested tube counts to record volumes and speeds of vehicles on both Parnwell Street and Bassett Street (north of Parnwell Street).

Staff are currently investigating whether Parnwell Street can be included within the current Safer Speed Plan as it moves through hearings and approvals. The data provided by Waka Kotahi, recommends a Safe and Appropriate speed limit of 30km/h alongside the adjoining local streets of Baynes Street, Robin Street and Cossar Street. These other local streets were included in the Safer Speed Plan.

Staff are supportive of measures such as the raised platform and speed bumps, to encourage drivers to travel at the safe and appropriate speed, suggested at Cossar and Parnwell, in addition to an intersection treatment at Basset/Parnwell. The requests for traffic calming measures on Parnwell Street have been added to our database and can be considered when funding is available. All suggestions added to the database are then prioritised and ranked based on the level of risk to all users of the corridor.

Any further Streets for People funding from Waka Kotahi cannot be confirmed at this stage. Therefore, any safety improvements would need to be funded through existing Traffic Operations Budgets.

3.4.6 Community Pride Garden Awards 2024

The Christchurch Beautifying Association would like the Board to appoint one person to attend the 2024 half day judging for the Street and Garden and Community Garden Pride Awards on behalf of Keep Christchurch Beautiful. It is advised that the judging for the Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood area will take place on Monday 26 February 2024, 9am to 12 noon.

3.4.7 Coast to Coast sign

At its meeting on 6 November 2023, the Board resolved to request staff further investigate and work with the Coast to Coast Organisers regarding options for a Coast to Coast Race finish line sign following receipt of their letter of support.

Staff have provided the following response:

At its meeting held on 12^th June 2023, the Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board approved to refer the issues in relation to a Coast to Coast sign at the New Brighton finish line to staff for investigation and to provide a response back to the Board.

The following advice was provided by staff:

Yellow finger board signs are used to direct road users to public amenities and items of local interest.

Staff do not advocate for the finish line sign based on the following reasons:

· The event takes place only for a short period of time (usually one weekend) throughout the year.

· The location of the finish line may be altered.

· The finish line is usually well marked for the event.

· Event co-ordinators could co-ordinate a temporary sign placement as part of the temporary traffic management plan.

Further advice as requested following the Board meeting held on November 6^th, 2023:

The NZTA Traffic Control Devices manual (TCD) states that, “General interest signs are used to provide road users with information relating to the location of a range of local services and facilities (including commercial establishments). Given the large number of facilities that could be signed over a range of locations, the potential exists for a proliferation of signs to be installed leading to information overload for road users. This would reduce the effectiveness of all signs….”

The TCD also states that traffic signs:

a) are provided to aid the safe and orderly movement of traffic – As noted above, the finish line is already usually well marked for the event making the requested sign unnecessary.

b) may lead to important messages being lost in ‘clutter’ – Due to the nature of the suburban environment with multiple facilities etc. in close proximity to the location, this could lead to an increase in demand for further signs as well as visual distractions.

c) Self-explaining roads are those whose nature can be readily understood through features such as buildings, structures, terrain or vegetation. They provide road users with visual cues to assess risks and anticipate events therefore reducing the need for signs. Self-explaining roads should be a focus rather than relying on signs and other traffic control devices to reduce risk – The beach and pier at New Brighton foreshore are notable landmarks in the Community, supporting the notion that requirement for a sign would be unnecessary. Any additional signage required on the day of the event can be provided through a TMP.

Staff are aware there is a sign pointing towards the location of the start point of the event (on the West Coast), however, the context of the road remains a significant factor for consideration.

As a suburban, collector road, Marine Prade is not comparable to State Highway 6 where the Coast to Coast start sign is located at the turn off to Serpentine Road.

In rural locations such as State Highway 6, where there are less visual distractions, the necessity for cues (such as yellow finger boards) increases and can be rationalised due to the points a, b and c noted above.

In conclusion, staff uphold the original advice and do not advocate for installation of the sign.
