Part B

4.1

Tertiary discount for Christchurch City Council Swimming Pools and Recreation Centres

Pierce Crowley, President, and Angeline Moneda, Member, spoke on behalf of the University of Canterbury Students’ Association regarding the pricing structure for entry to Christchurch City Council swimming pools and recreation centres.

The Association has been approached by student members regarding the affordability of entry charges for tertiary students. It is noted that there is discount available for secondary students and the Association would like an investigation into whether these discounts could also be extended to tertiary students who frequently have higher living costs and less support. The Association considers that discounted entry would allow for greater use of the pools and recreation centres by students with health benefits for them and increased participation in Council facilities, in line with Council’s objective to have more people, more active, more often.

Following questions from members, the Chairperson thanked Mr Crowley and Ms Moneda for their presentation.

Part B

That the Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board:

1. Requests that staff investigate the possibility of extending the discounted entry charges to pools and recreation centres currently available to secondary students, to tertiary students also and provide advice to the Board.

4.3

South Express Cycleway light phasing

George Laxton spoke to the Board regarding the South Express Cycleway light phasing at the Mandeville and Lowe Streets intersection.

Mr Laxton noted that phasing of the lights means that cyclists and pedestrians are frequently waiting to cross for long periods when there is no motor vehicles coming from the other direction. Mr Laxton is concerned that this leads to frustration and cyclists and pedestrians crossing against the lights which creates a significant safety issue. He would like to see a change to the light phasings to address this.

He advised that this matter has already been raised with Council staff but no change has resulted.

Following questions from members, the Chairperson thanked Mr Laxton for his presentation.

Part B

That the Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board:

1. Refers the issues raised in the presentation to staff for advice on any improvements that can be made to the South Express Cycleway light phasing at the Mandeville and Lowe Streets intersection to improve the travel experience and safety of pedestrians and cyclists.

5. Deputations by Appointment Ngā Huinga Whakaritenga

Part B

5.1 Halswell Junction Road Extension - New road name for Halswell Junction Road cul-de-sac and Proposed Lane Names - 24 Amyes Road and 48 Quaifes Road

David Hawke, Secretary and Ross McFarlane, Committee Member, Halswell Residents’ Association, spoke to the Board regarding the proposals for a new road name for Halswell Junction Road cul-de-sac and names for new lanes at 24 Amyes Road and 48 Quaifes Road.

The Association noted that the reports on both proposals refer to the Council’s former road naming policy but not the newnaming policy recently adopted. It considers that the proposed names should be assessed against new policy.

The Association is concerned that the proposed names and in particular Silberhorn Drive, recommended for 48 Quaifes Road does not relate well to the location. It was acknowledged the name fits the development naming theme of mountains, however, the name has no particular relevance to Halswell and the Association would like to see a more appropriate name.

Items 8 and 9 of these minutes refer to this matter.

8. Church Corner and Waimairi Road Safety Improvements
Reference / Te Tohutoro:	23/1883677
Report of / Te Pou Matua:	Gemma Dioni, Principal Advisor Transportation - Safety Ann Tomlinson, Project Manager Krystle Anderson, Engagement Advisor Georgia Greene, Traffic Engineer
Senior Manager / Pouwhakarae:	Lynette Ellis, Head of Transport & Waste Management (Lynette.Ellis@ccc.govt.nz)

1. Purpose and Origin of Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo

1.1 For the Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board to approve safety improvements to intersections around Church Corner and to make recommendations to Council for the items within the proposed design that rest with Council for decision making.

1.2 This report has been written in response to ongoing safety concerns in the area particularly for people travelling across the community by all different modes.

1.3 This intersections of Riccarton/Hansons/Waimairi and Curletts/Main South are both within the top 1% of intersections within the Christchurch District in terms of risk of being in a crash, compared to over 5700 Council controlled intersections citywide (Main South/Yaldhurst is in the top 3%). The intersection safety improvements were identified through a co-design process with Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency for the 2021-2024 National Land Transport Programme Funding Cycle. The Pipeline Development Tool (PDT) used in this process helps road controlling authorities and their funding partners plan road safety interventions, understand their benefits, including the expected reduction in death and serious injury, and identify the most effective interventions at a local, regional, and national level.

1.4 Church Corner and Waimairi Road are busy locations used by many people travelling to school, University or work, accessing the local shops and Bush Inn Centre, or moving 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.

1.5 The decisions in this report are of medium significance in relation to the Christchurch City Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy. The level of significance was determined by this being a busy area used daily by people travelling to the local amenities, travelling to school and commuting to work. There is some community interest in the project due to existing safety concerns.

1.6 The recommended option is to construct a package of safety improvements in the vicinity of Church Corner, as show in Attachment A, and summarised below:

· Safe speed platforms on all approaches to the Riccarton Road, Hansons Lane, and Waimairi Road intersection.

· Removing the slip lane from Riccarton Road onto Waimairi Road.

· Reconfiguration of angle parking to parallel parking on Waimairi Road.

· Speed humps on Angela Street and Brake Street at their intersection with Yaldhurst Road, Leslie Street at its intersection with Waimairi Road and Bowen Street at its intersection with Peer Street.

· Making Main South Road (from Riccarton Road) entry only and removing vehicle access out of Main South Road onto Riccarton Road and Yaldhurst Road.

· Installation of pedestrian zebra crossings on Yaldhurst Road and Main South Road.

· Removing the left turn slip lane from Main South Road into Curletts Road and providing a left turn lane at the signals.

· Raised signalised crossing on Waimairi Road (outside Bush Inn Centre).

· Cycle improvements and bus stop improvements.

3. Reason for Report Recommendations Ngā Take mō te Whakatau

3.1 The Church Corner area is busy with many people walking, cycling, accessing public transport and driving through, particularly at school times and when people are travelling to work. Whether people are travelling through this area on foot, by bicycle, bus or driving, they should be able to do so safely. If Council are to achieve its goal in reducing death and serios injuries on our roads, 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.

3.2 Options within this report have been assessed against relevant industry-standard guidance including the Standard Safety Intervention Toolkit Handbook produced by NZTA Waka Kotahi and Austroads design guides. Traffic signals are not typically identified and promoted as a Safe System solution, primarily due to the angle and impact speed of crashes at signalised intersections. Safe Speed Platforms (Raised Safety Platforms) are a vertical deflection device increasingly used to reduce the maximum comfortable operating speed for vehicles to Safe System collision speeds. The tolerable limit (survivable speed) for pedestrians and cyclists is 30 km/h.

3.3 Since the installation of the platform at the Lincoln/Barrington/Whiteleigh intersection, safer speeds by drivers entering the intersection have been achieved as shown in the chart below. In the preceding five-year period (2018-2022) there were 21 reported crashes at the Lincoln/Barrington/Whiteleigh intersection including two crashes resulting in serious injury. There have been no reported crashes at this intersection in 2023 (as of 16/01/2024).

Approach 85th percentile operating speeds at the Lincoln/Barrington/Whiteleigh intersection (vehicle speeds are at the bottom of the graph)

3.4 During consultation for Christchurch Regeneration Acceleration Facility (CRAF) projects, a request was received from a local blind resident for improvements to the section of Waimairi Road from Riccarton Road to Peer Street to help improve safety and accessibility for vision-impaired, disabled and elderly people. This included a project to investigate the need for a signalised pedestrian crossing at the Bush Inn Centre.

3.5 The recommendations in this report will help to achieve the desired community outcome of having well-connected communities and neighbourhoods, so people can take fewer and shorter trips to access goods and services and have access to safe and reliable low-emission travel choices.

Waimairi Road crossing

4.5 An independent assessment was undertaken to determine the most suitable and safest crossing type. This is provided in Attachment B.

Safe System Assessment

4.6 A Safe System Assessment was completed as part of the optioneering for the improvements. 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). A summary of the scores from the Safe System Assessment can be found below. Note that the lower the score, the safer the option.

Chart 2: Summary safe system assessment collision type at Waimairi Road (black is existing and orange is proposed)

4.7 Chart 1 summarises the assessment of the Riccarton Road changes, which demonstrates that the closure of Main South Road at Yaldhurst and the Safe Speed Platforms at Riccarton/Hansons/Waimairi reduces the likelihood and severity of crashes for the intersections making them more safe system aligned. The Standard Safety Intervention Toolkit assumes a death and serious injury reduction of 40% by implementing raised safety platforms at existing signalised intersection.

4.8 The signalised crossing on a raised platform on Waimairi Road has benefits for all road users as shown in Chart 2.

5. Detail Te Whakamahuki

5.1 Improving safety on local roads in Christchurch is a priority for the Christchurch City Council. Providing safe infrastructure is key to ensure people get to where they are going safely irrespective of their mode of travel. Council has a Level of Service to reduce the number of deaths or serious injuries from all crashes by 40% in 2030. That is a reduction of five or more per year, and for this to be under 71 crashes per year within the 10-year period. This is also a goal in the Road Safety Action Plan, which is a collaborative plan between Christchurch City Council, NZTA Waka Kotahi, ACC, FENZ and New Zealand Police.

5.2 Information was extracted from the Life in Christchurch Survey to understand how people, who selected Bush Inn-Church Corner as their mall of choice, travel to the centre:

5.2.1 The majority visit once a week (53.33%), with the next highest frequency being two to four times a week (26.67%).

5.2.2 Most travel by car (66.67%), with the next highest mode being walking (16.67%).

5.2.3 Of those travelling by car, 45% find it very easy, and 35% find it easy.

5.2.4 Of those walking, 21.43% find it easy, 19.64% find it very easy, and 17.86% find it very difficult. There is a fairly even spread of difficulty for walkers.

5.3 The Church Corner area includes the Bush Inn Centre, Church Corner Mall, St Peters Anglican Church, a medical centre, supermarkets, other local shops and businesses. The University of Canterbury and student accommodation is located to the north of Riccarton Road, and there are two large schools close by including Villa Maria and Kirkwood Intermediate. These all generate foot traffic, so it needs to be safer for people wanting to cross the road. Further information on pedestrian counts and ward data is provided in Attachment C.

5.4 There are signalised crossing facilities at the Riccarton/Hansons/Waimairi intersection and designated crossing points in the median island close to the Main South Road/Yaldhurst Road intersection for people to cross.

5.5 It is proposed to provide improvements for people walking by providing additional crossing points and removing the slip lane from Riccarton Road into Waimairi Road. The primary reason for the removal of the slip lane is that it can make crossing a road feel unsafe for people walking, particularly children or vulnerable pedestrians. Drivers are focussing on what traffic may be coming from the right to see if they can pass through without stopping, which can sometimes lead to people speeding up to take the gap.

5.6 Many pedestrians have been observed crossing Riccarton Road using the median islands between the Hansons Lane intersection and the Main South Road intersection, but not at the designated crossing. This is an attractive place to cross given the location of bus stops, however pedestrians are required to cross two lanes of traffic in each direction in faster traffic.

5.7 There are no facilities for people riding bicycles through the Riccarton/Hansons/Waimairi intersection on Main South/Yaldhurst intersection. The South Express Cycleway provides a short local connection to Countdown entrance on the south side of Riccarton Road. The 2023 counts identified that there were 43 people riding bicycles through the intersection of Riccarton/Hansons in the morning peak hour, 72 in the afternoon peak hour and 17 during the off-peak lunchtime period. Some people were observed riding on the footpaths.

5.8 There are five bus routes that use the stops on Riccarton Road to the west of Hansons Lane including the numbers 5, 86, 100, 130 and 140. The Orbiter bus route turns right into Waimairi Road from Riccarton Road (and left out for return journey). The 5, 100 and 130 bus routes turn left into Main South Road for the outbound journey and use Curletts Road and the Peer/Yaldhurst intersection to travel east through Church Corner. There are bus stops located through the project area. There are no changes to bus routes, however there is a change to the stop outside Bush Inn on Waimairi Road to accommodate the signalised crossing.

5.9 There are approximately 2100 vehicles passing through the Riccarton/Hansons intersection in the morning peak and 2400 in the evening peak. There are approximately 1900 vehicles passing through at lunchtime.

5.10 There is little guidance given to drivers on the westbound approach to the Riccarton Road/Yaldhurst Road/Main South Road intersection, which can lead to late lane change decisions. There is nothing to prevent late lane changing, and this increases potential for vehicles giving way on Main South Road to be confused as to whether they need to give way to westbound traffic. Although the visibility of oncoming traffic on Main South Road is clear, it is possible that the combination of the curve of Riccarton Road and the two westbound lanes attributes to poor perception of vehicle speed and gap selection by traffic waiting to exit Main South Road.

Crash information for Main South/Yaldhurst/Riccarton

5.11 In the full ten-year period between 2013 and 2022, and the partial year of 2023 (not all crashes are recorded straight away), there were 83 reported crashes at or within 50 metres of this intersection. Of the 83 crashes:

· 76 were a result of crossing/turning movements

· Four were a result of loss of control/head on

· Two crashes were a result of rear-end/obstruction

· One crash involved a person walking.

5.12 Of the 76 crossing/turning crashes, two resulted in a serious injury, and six resulted in a minor injury. There was no pattern in the two serious injury crashes:

5.12.1 One driver failed to stop at the give-way when turning right from Main South Road onto Riccarton Road and has driven into the corner of a bus that was about to turn into Yaldhurst Road from Riccarton Road.

5.12.2 One driver failed to stop at the give-way when turning right from Main South Road onto Riccarton Road and has driven into a cyclist travelling west on Yaldhurst Road from Riccarton Road.

5.12.3 The six minor crashes were also similar to the serious crashes in that all drivers exiting Main South Road have hit a vehicle travelling westbound on Riccarton Road to Yaldhurst Road. In four crashes, the driver on Main South Road had failed to give-way, and in two instances the driver on Main South Road failed to see the vehicles approaching and have exited into the path of the oncoming traffic.

5.12.4 The remaining 68 crashes were non-injury crashes, however on several occasions FENZ have attended due to the significant damage to vehicles. Ambulances have also been dispatched to many of the crashes alongside Police. This crash type varies from two to 12 per year. Drivers exiting Main South Road have stated that they have failed to see a vehicle, failed to give-way and have mis-judged the speed of the vehicle approaching from the east. In several crashes, the driver travelling westbound has been unable to stop in time when seeing a driver exiting from Main South Road. Two crashes involved buses travelling along Riccarton Road to Yaldhurst Road.

5.13 Two of the four loss of control/head on crashes occurred in 2021, the remaining two occurred in previous years. There are no trends in the data, with the following crashes occurring:

· Vehicle travelling westbound, has swerved hit the central island and then the driver has overcorrected ending up half on the footpath outside the church.

· Vehicle approached intersection on giveway sign failed to see motorcycle and failed to give way, motorcycle swerved to avoid head on collision crossed centreline and was hit by a car driving the other way.

· A driver turning right from Main South Road has entered the intersection, has panicked on seeing an eastbound driver approaching from Yaldhurst Road, and hit the accelerator ending in the front of a building.

· A driver turning right from Main South Road has lost control turning right. Was travelling over the temporary 30km/h limit used for the roadworks.

5.14 The two rear end crashes happened in two different years, one has involved a vehicle turning right into a side road away from the intersection and has hit a vehicle where the driver has made a last minute change to turn into the same entrance, the second crash involved a vehicle giving way to a rubbish truck collecting rubbish travelling eastbound on Riccarton Road and has been hit at the rear.

5.15 The crash involving the pedestrian resulted in minor injury only. The pedestrian had walked out into the road when walking with friends.

Crash information for Riccarton/Waimari/Hansons

5.16 In the full ten-year period between 2013 and 2022, and the partial year of 2023 (not all crashes are recorded straight away), there were 41 reported number of crashes at and within 50 metres of this intersection. During this time, there was one fatal crash, two crashes that resulted in serious injury, 11 crashes resulting in minor injury, and 27 that resulted in non-injury but mainly vehicle damage.

5.17 One crash resulted in a person losing a life. The crash involved a vehicle performing a filtered right turn onto Hansons Lane, who hit a westbound motorcyclist on Riccarton Road during early morning hours in 2021.

5.18 Two crashes resulted in serious injury to people travelling outside a vehicle:

5.18.1 One crash involved a vehicle performing a filtered right turn onto Hansons Lane, who hit a westbound motorcyclist on Riccarton Road during the evening hours in 2022.

5.18.2 One involved a person riding a bicycle south on Waimairi Road towards Riccarton Road and has collided with the rear of a vehicle. This crash occurred in 2021.

5.19 Of the remaining 38 crashes, 11 resulted in minor injury, this included three pedestrians being hit when crossing the road. These crashes occurred in two different locations:

· Waimairi Road, north of the entrance to Bush Inn.

· Riccarton Road to the west of Hansons Lane (two crashes).

5.20 A further collision occurred involving a pedestrian being hit when crossing the slip lane on Waimairi Road at the intersection with Riccarton Road.

5.21 19 of the 38 crashes involved drivers turning at the intersection and being hit, six of which have resulted in a minor injury.

5.21.1 Seven of the crashes occurred at the Hansons/Riccarton intersection. Five vehicles turning right from Hansons Lane were hit by vehicles travelling westbound on Riccarton Road that had failed to stop at a red. A vehicle turning left from Hansons Lane was also hit by a westbound vehicle that had failed to stop at a red. Two crashes involved a vehicle turning right from Riccarton Road into Hansons Lane, which had failed to give way to a westbound vehicle.

5.21.2 Ten of the crashes occurred at the Riccarton/Waimairi Road intersection:

· Four crashes involved people turning right from Riccarton Road and crashing with vehicles travelling eastbound that had proceeded through a very late orange/start of red.

· Two crashes involved a vehicle turning right into Waimairi Road that had failed to give-way, on one occasion this was failing to see the motorcycle travelling east.

· One crash involved a vehicle waiting in the intersection to turn right and was hit by an oncoming vehicle travelling east on Riccarton Road. One crash involved a vehicle waiting to turn right into Waimairi Road when the signals were not operating, and one vehicle has indicated to the driver to turn but the driver has failed to see the car approaching in the other lane.

· Two vehicles exiting Waimairi Road were hit by people travelling on Riccarton Road (one in each direction) that had passed through a red signal. One vehicle that was hit was a bus.

5.21.3 Two of the crashes occurred on Waimairi Road at the Bush Inn entrance. One involved a vehicle turning in to the Bush Inn Centre and failing to see a vehicle travelling in the left turn lane accessing the centre, and the other involved a vehicle exiting that had failed to see a vehicle had exited Leslie Street.

5.22 Eight of the 38 crashes resulted in the rear end of a vehicle being hit (one was a cycle travelling on the footpath). These were all non-injury crashes, with vehicle only damage being reported. Four occurred on the approach to signals, two of which occurred on the Waimairi Road approach. In each instance a vehicle was following too closely with little time to react.

5.23 Five of the 38 crashes involved loss of control by the driver. Three drivers were attempting to turn right into Waimairi Road from Riccarton Road, one turning left from Riccaton Road into Waimairi Road, and one turning right from Riccarton Road to Hansons Lane. On each occasion, the vehicle hit the traffic signals. Four of the five crashes occurred at night after 10pm.

5.24 Two of the 38 crashes involved vehicles overtaking and hitting other vehicles. One was a result of a late lane change to exit onto Main South Road, one was an inexperienced and impatient driver.

Crash information for Waimairi Road crossing

5.25 In the full ten-year period between 2013 and 2022, and the partial year of 2023 (not all crashes are recorded straight away), there have been no reported crashes at the location of the existing island.

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

Policy Consistency Te Whai Kaupapa here

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

Impact on Mana Whenua Ngā Whai Take Mana Whenua

7.5 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 specifically impact Mana Whenua, their culture and traditions.

7.6 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.

7.7 The effects of this proposal upon Mana Whenua are expected to be insignificant as the proposal involves minor work within the existing carriageway.

Climate Change Impact Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Āhuarangi

7.8 The decisions in this report are likely to:

7.8.1 Contribute neutrally to adaptation to the impacts of climate change.

7.8.2 Contribute positively to emissions reductions.

7.9 The emission reductions associated with this project have not been estimated.

7.10 Improving the ability for people to walk and cycle are a key part of council’s emissions reduction efforts by providing a safe, low emission way for residents to move around the city.

7.11 From the 2022 Life in Christchurch Transport Survey, 96 percent of respondents travel by car. Inconsiderate and dangerous behaviour from other road users and sharing the road with cars were the main reasons respondents found it difficult to bike.

7.12 Improving safety and making the intersection feel safer would address some of the barriers to people making sustainable travel choices. Removing these barriers will lead to reductions in vehicle kilometres travelled and consequently emissions from transport.

7.13 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 walking and cycling infrastructure is also a key part of the Ministry of Transport and Waka Kotahi’s efforts to decarbonise the transport system, so improving safety for these users would be consistent with national direction.

Accessibility Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Hunga Hauā

7.14 This proposal improves accessibility for pedestrians/cyclists, by providing a safer means of crossing at the intersection and on Waimairi Road.

8. Resource Implications Ngā Hīraunga Rauemi

Capex/Opex Ngā Utu Whakahaere

8.1 Cost to Implement - $810k for the works on Riccarton Road and on Waimairi Road to Leslie Street. The Waimairi Road signalised crossing is estimated to cost $500k. These are estimates and not tendered prices.

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

8.3 Funding Source –

8.3.1 Traffic Operations Minor Road Safety Budget for Riccarton Road and Main South Road projects.

8.3.2 Waimairi Road signalised pedestrian crossing (CPMS 73676) is funded through the Christchurch Regeneration Acceleration Facility (CRAF) in the Long-Term Plan.

8.4 Funding support - Waka Kotahi have confirmed that funding support at 51% is approved for the intersection works on Riccarton Road and Main South Road through the low-cost low-risk programme. Activities funded through the Low-Cost Low-Risk investment pathway do not need to calculate a benefit-cost ratio. Funding support is only guaranteed for this financial year.

Report of / Te Pou Matua:	Colin Windleborn, Property Consultant colin.windleborn@ccc.govt.nz
Senior Manager / Pouwhakarae:	Bruce Rendall, Head of City Growth & Property (bruce.rendall@ccc.govt.nz)

1. Purpose and Origin of Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo

1.1 This report seeks consent for temporary occupation of council land in order to construct a footpath and cycleway and a recommendation to the Council for the sale of approximately 956m2 of Council land.

1.2 This report is staff initiated in response to a request from Waka Kotahi who are undertaking improvements to Halswell Road(SH25) which require temporary occupancy of council land and minor land purchases.

1.3 The decision in this report of low significance in relation to the Christchurch City Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy. The level of significance was determined by considering the licence is temporary with the land required minor, with a greater public benefit being achieved with the improvement in the transport corridor for cyclists, motorists and bus movement.

1.4 Officers recognise that the recommendations for this report are complicated due to the two different naming conventions used in the Crown’s request. The Board can be assured that the cross referencing has been undertaken and the parcels match.

2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu

That the Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board:

1. Supports the Crown – Waka Kotahi’s project for improvements to Halswell Road between Dunbars Road and Augustine Drive, which provides for construction of a footpath and cycleway along with any required lighting to Councils standard as indicated on the plan shown in the agreement, through resolving the following:

2. Resolves to grant temporary occupation of that part of the Land B and Land D (shown labelled “F” & “K” on the Plan contained in the Draft Memorandum of Agreement attached to the report on the meeting agenda), being an area of approximately 511 square metres to allow the formation of a footpath to be vested in the Council upon completion.

3. Notes that:

a. Due to the mutual benefit, there is no consideration for the temporary occupation.

b. The Head of Transport has signed off the report on the meeting agenda indicating that they will accept the new footpath.

4. Grants delegated authority to the Property Consultancy Manager to do all things necessary and make all decisions at his sole discretion to conclude negotiations to finalise the terms of a temporary licence agreement with Waka Kotahi, including the signing of any associated documentation to implement the temporary licence agreement and to protect the Council’s interests.

5. Recommends to the Council that it resolves to:

a. Transfer to the Crown the “Required Land” under section 50 of the Public Works Act. The Required Land being that part of the Land A, Land C and Land E (shown labelled “E”,”H”, “I” & “J” on the Plan contained in the Draft Memorandum of Agreement attached to the report on the meeting agenda), being an area of approximately 956 square metres, subject to final survey and for the consideration of $83,130.43 plus Good and Services Tax (if any) with any adjustments made on a pro rata per metre rate if the area of land is increased.

b. Note that this Required Land will be declared road and vested in the Crown pursuant to section 114 of the Public Works Act 1981.

c. Grant delegated authority to the Property Consultancy Manager, to do all things necessary and make all decisions at his sole discretion to conclude negotiations to finalise the terms of a sale agreement with Waka Kotahi including the signing of any associated documentation to implement the sale of land and to protect the Council’s interests.

3. Reason for Report Recommendations Ngā Take mō te Whakatau

3.1 Waka Kotahi have approached Council for the purchase of land and temporary occupation of land for the construction of a footpath and cycleway as part of their improvement programme on Halswell Road (SH75) located between Dunbars Road and Augustine Drive.

4. Alternative Options Considered Ētahi atu Kōwhiringa

4.1 Decline the sale of the land and Temporary Licence – Not recommended.

4.2 Advantage of the discounted option: There will no change to land ownership in the short term or possibly at all. The agreement is voluntary and Waka Kotahi has the ability to compulsorily acquire the land if they wished.

4.3 Disadvantage of the discounted option: The community will miss out on the new infrastructure (footpath and cycleway). Council will not receive the agreed compensation estimated at $83,130.43 plus GST (if any).

5. Detail Te Whakamahuki

5.1 Waka Kotahi is undertaking improvements to Halswell Road (SH 75) between Dunbars Road and Augustine Drive to improve their roading network. This work is to commence in the first quarter of 2024 and be completed by the fourth quarter of 2024.

5.2 The Council land which is the subject of this report is only a part of the project between Dunbars Road and Augustine Drive, and other aspects of the project will also involve private land. There are a number of small portions of council land required to facilitate the project. These are either required to be transferred to the Crown or occupied temporarily.

5.3 Temporary Occupation Land: This work will involve the construction of a footpath and cycleway on Council land shown as ‘F’ 342m2 and ‘K’ 170 m² on Plan SKT-UC-0010 Schedule C of agreement with F being Fee simple land and K being Local Purpose (Drainage) Reserve held under the Reserves Act 1977.With these assets being vested in Council at the conclusion of the project.

5.4 Required Land: The purchase of land shown in Schedule C and D of the agreement being.

a. 57m² of land shown as ‘J’ for roading which is fee simple land,

b. 812 m² of land shown as ‘E’ and ‘H’ for roading which is Local Purpose (Drainage)

Reserve held under the Reserves Act 1977,

c. 87 m² of land shown as ‘I’ for roading which is Local Purpose (Drainage) Reserve held under the Reserves Act 1977.

5.5 The compensation valuation in the agreement was undertaken by an independent valuer agreed to by both Waka Kotahi and Christchurch City Council.

5.6 If the Community Board and Council agree to the request for temporary occupation, and sale of approximately 956m²of land Waka Kotahi will be required to meet the requirements of the Reserves Act 1977.

5.7 The proposed footpath and cycleway, and the change of ownership, will not have any long-term negative impacts on the community or the function of the land. There may be short term disruptions during construction, however, these will be managed. Detailed designed plans will be reviewed prior to construction to confirm this.

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

5.8.1 Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board.

Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board

15 February 2024

11. Keri Place - Proposed No Stopping Restrictions
Reference Te Tohutoro:	23/2002846
Report of Te Pou Matua:	Edwin Tiong, Traffic Engineer edwin.tiong@ccc.govt.nz
Senior Leader Pouwhakarae:	Jane Parfitt, Interim General Manager Infrastructure, Planning & Regulatory Services, (Jane.Parfitt@ccc.govt.nz)

1. Purpose of the Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo

1.1 For the Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board to consider options to improve access along Keri Place. This report has been written following concerns raised about the function of the street by residents, due to its very narrow width.

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 Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board:

1. Approves that in accordance with Clause 7 of the Christchurch City Council Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2017, the stopping of vehicles be prohibited at any time on:

a. the north side of Keri Place commencing at its intersection with Hei Hei Road and extending in an easterly direction for a distance of 63.5 metres.

b. the east side of Keri Place commencing at a point 103.5 metres south of its intersection with Hei Hei Road and extending along the kerb line in a southerly and then northerly direction for a distance of 24.0 metres.

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 1.

3. Approves that these resolutions take effect when parking signage and/or road marking that evidence the restrictions described in 1. And 2. are in place (or removed in the case of revocations).

3. Reason for Report Recommendations Ngā Take mō te Whakatau

3.1 Keri Place is a narrow, two-way, cul-de-sac local street, approximately 6 metre wide. One local resident has identified/raised that access to the street and/or driveways can be compromised when vehicles are parked on both sides of the street, particularly when they park close to each other. This is particularly relevant to access for larger vehicles, such as emergency vehicles and refuge trucks.

3.2 Implementing the No Stopping restrictions in accordance with Attachment A will improve safety by allowing improved access for larger vehicles (i.e. emergency vehicles) and will improve the driveway access for residents.

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 current on-street parking spaces arrangement. It is likely to be approximately 10 parking spaces available within the street.

4.2.2 Does not displace parking to other locations.

4.3 The disadvantages of the option include:

4.3.1 Potentially restricting through access of large vehicles, including emergency vehicles, when vehicles are parked on both sides of Keri Place.

4.3.2 Does not address the issues residents are having with access to and from their driveways caused by the current parking provisions and demand.

5. Detail Te Whakamahuki

5.1 Keri Place is classified as a Local Road in the Councils Road Classification System. These roads function almost entirely for access purposes and are not intended to act as through routes.

5.2 With the current on-street parking arrangement, vehicles are not able to park opposite side of the road as they need space for traffic to pass through. Therefore, the no stopping restrictions provide better parking arrangement without compromising the parking spaces within the street.

5.3 The street is within walking proximity to Wycola Park and St Bernadette’s School. Parking demands in the street are generally low, and mainly for visitors. Most residents do have long driveways so that they can park within their properties.

5.4 Construction of South Express cycleway major cycle route on Hei Hei Road has recently been complete, removing most of the parking on the east side of Hei Hei Road and is shown as an overlay on Attachment A

5.5 The current speed limit on Hei Hei Road and Keri Place is 50 km/h. A 30 kilometre speed limit for both streets has been approved by Council through the Interim Speed Management Plan.

5.6 The Christchurch Suburban Parking Policy (2019) Policy 10 provides guidance for reviewing the allocation of parking in circumstances where the street is less than seven metres wide and there are recognised parking issues “If the carriageway of a street is less than 7 metres in width and there are known access problems (i.e. there are limited places for vehicles to pass and/or emergency access may be compromised), Council will propose to remove parking on one side of the street.” There is a link to the Suburban Parking Policy in Section 6.4 of this report.

5.7 Narrow streets can also lead to issues with people parking on the footpath and berms to make room on the carriageway. This can degrade pedestrian accessibility, safety and amenity of the street.

5.8 When removing parking on one side of a street, engineering best practice is to alternate the parking from one side to another. This has a traffic calming effect on speed which is especially desirable along our neighbourhood streets. However, due to the short length of this street, the alternate parking arrangement was not proposed.

5.9 There have been no reported crashes on Keri Place in the last five years. This street has no risk classification under Council’s high risk intersection mapping system.

5.10 Approval is required by the Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board.

5.11 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

5.12 A consultation letter and plan showing the proposal was sent to 15 affected property owners and residents. The first consultation plan is shown in Attachment B. The original proposal was to install No Stopping restrictions on the north side of Keri Place up to the driveway of property No.9.

5.13 One property owner objected the proposal because there is not enough on-street parking in the street. She stated that the new cycle lane has halved the parking on Hei Hei Road. When St Bernadettes church services are on, they get multiple cars in the street. Residents usually place rubbish bins in a row outside property No.11, car parks outside No.7 and 9 would not impede the rubbish truck being able to manoeuvre the cul-de-sac.

5.14 Taking into account residents’ comments, staff amended the proposal to that shown in Attachment A. This included removing the section of No Stopping restrictions previously proposed outside property No.7 and 9. Residents were informed by letter of the subsequent changes to our initial consultation, which included a plan of the updated proposals. We received one response from the previous submitter who expressed her gratitude for considering her opinions and supported the new proposal.

5.15 The Team Leader Parking Compliance supports the recommended option (Attachment A).

3.12 Participation in and Contribution to Decision Making

3.12.1 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]

· Huritini Student Council Pool Party Activations

The Huritini Council supported the Summer Splash Pool Party event at Te Hāpua on Saturday 13 January.

· Riccarton - Tactile Pavers Installation

Staff have advised that installation of the new tactile pavers in Riccarton as part of the Christchurch Regeneration Acceleration Facility (CRAF) package of works has started. The new pavers are being installed on all Riccarton Road intersections between Matipo Street and Balgay Street, one of the busier pedestrian areas in Riccarton. This will ensure that the majority of intersections on Riccarton Road are safe for all pedestrians crossing at these locations and contributes to Community Board Plan priority to Support initiatives that provide for social cohesion, community connectedness and safety in the Riccarton Ward.

The work is expected to take approximately four weeks to complete the and staff will provide another update once works are finished.

· Kennedy's Bush Neighbourhood Group Christmas Event

The Kennedys Bush Neighbourhood Gorup hosted their annual Christmas Party event in December. The event had approximately 80 people in attendance and provided a great afternoon for the neighbourhood to connect with one another and share games and kai.

4. Advice Provided to the Community Board Ngā Kupu Tohutohu ka hoatu ki te Poari Hapori

4.1 Matatiki Hornby Centre

Community Board Members attended a site visit to Matatiki Hornby Centre on Thursday 1 February 2024.

Construction update

There continues to be a large amount of work occurring in the exterior spaces of the site. The remaining carpark spaces to the south are being prepared for asphalt along with the hard landscaping works to the north western courtyard. Planting within both stormwater basins alongside Waterloo Road, and the carpark islands, are complete.

Within the building, there has been significant progress in all areas. All pool liners have been installed, pre-commissioning activities are underway, and the final preparations are being made before beginning to fill the pools.

The Library wing is now substantially complete with only minor works to be completed before to the final clean. Library shelving has been erected and furniture installation is imminent. IT workstreams are ramping up in preparation for the digital fitout.

Behind the scenes

Work on the programme development and marketing workstreams are also progressing well, with the opening date to be endorsed early February via the projects governance group. The date will then be communicated to this forum, and then to the wider public.

The community continues to be updated as the project progresses, with regular Newsline stories, e-newsletters, and social media posts.

The manawhenua representative from Whitiora is also working through the names that will be gifted to six spaces within the facility. These include the Creative Activities Space, multi-purpose room and the four publicly available meeting rooms. We will advise of these names in the near future.

4.2 Ngā Puna Wai Access Review

Staff have advised that an ‘access review’ is currently being undertaken at Ngā Puna Wai to investigate the parking challenges and consider short term and long term solutions.

Individual meetings are being undertaken with neighbours, sports partners, event organisers and the NPW operations team to identify the problems, when they occur, what the impacts are and then consider short term and long term solutions.

A report will be completed once the investigative discussions have taken place, to present the findings and recommendations.

4.3 Pedestrian Crossing Facility at Jones Road, Templeton

At its meeting on 10 August 2023 the Board requested staff advice on the possible installation of a pedestrian crossing facility on Jones Road, Templeton in the vicinity of Globe Bay Drive. Staff have responded (see attachment C) advising that the scheme design for the South Express Major Cycle Route allows for a pedestrian crossing facility across Jones Road.

The scheme design was approved by the Infrastructure, Transport and Environment Committee in July 2019 and traffic resolutions for Section 1 of the cycleway route were approved by Council on 21 June 2023.

Delivery of this work is dependant on additional funding being secured through the Long Term Plan. Subject to the additional funding construction of the crossing facility will be incorporated into the cycleway works scheduled for 2024.

4.4 Vehicle speed on Murphys Road, Halswell

At its meeting on 15 June 2023 the Board requested that staff investigate the speed of vehicles travelling on Murphys Road, Halswell and provide advice on any measures needed to address this.

Staff have now advised that a variable 30 kilometres per hour speed limit has been approved for Murphys Rd in the vicinity of Seven Oaks School. This was part of the Interim Speed Management Plan, and is awaiting installation. A forthcoming traffic calming feature north of Seven Oaks School and works at the Murphys/Quaifes intersection- being installed as part of Subdivision works, are both anticipated to support lower operating speeds in the vicinity. A repeat tube count was undertaken in Murphys Road (Caulfield to Quaifes) which indicates vehicle speeds- both average and 85%- have fallen by approximately 4 kilometres per hour in the last two years. As there are some road users travelling at higher than desirable speeds staff have contacted Hornby Police and asked that they consider this site for enforcement if resources permit.

No further action is recommended at this stage until after the traffic calming, intersection and variable speed limit works are implemented.

4.5 Stop signage - Jarnac Boulevard and John McKenzie Drive, Yaldhurst

At its meeting on 15 June 2023 the Board requested staff advice on whether there is a current proposal to install stop signage on Jarnac Boulevard and John McKenzie Drive where they intersect with Millesimes Way.

Staff have responded advising that there are no plans to install stop signage at the intersection of Jarnac Boulevard/Millesimes Way. This intersection arrangement is consistent with the treatments applied to the rest of this stage of the subdivision development and reflects the treatments applied at Champagne Avenue and Charente Way – all intersections show no recorded history of crashes suggesting that they perform safely.

Millesimes Way is a low volume section of road that predominantly serves access to a relatively small amount of houses – it is not a through route and is likely to be used primarily by those familiar with the arrangement.

There are several features that offer cues to the driver that they are approaching an intersection including:

· Different surface textures on the minor arm approach,

· Presence of broken white lines delineating cycle way on Jarnac Boulevard,

· Presence of lighting at the intersection,

· Obvious termination of the road with buildings established opposite the minor arm of the intersection,

Millesimes Way is constructed to the lower range of complying road widths for an urban residential road suggesting that approach speeds would be low with adequate time to acknowledge and react to the intersection ahead.

Stop control signage is used when sight distances are constrained, which is usually when the sight distance constraint is outside of council control (such as an existing fence or embankment on private land) and cannot be otherwise mitigated or removed. Millesimes Way does not have such a constraint and meets visibility requirements therefore the intersection does not meet the criteria for a Stop control.

4.6 Ishwar Ganda Park Signs

The wording for signage at Ishwar Ganda Park in Longhurst subdivision has now been finalised and the signage is ready to be installed.

Some members will recall that towards the end of the last term staff sought feedback from Board members on signage to be installed at Ishwar Ganda Park in Longhurst subdivision. In particular they wondered whether given that the park is named after a former Board member there should be additional text to the standard name to acknowledge the person and his community contribution.

The wording has now been finalised and signage is ready to be installed.

The sign will read:

“Ishwar Ganda Park

Named after Ishwar Ganda Q.S.O who served as a Paparua County and Hornby District Councillor, a respected long serving Christchurch City Councillor and local community Board member, Ishwar was a local entertainer, businessman and a leader in sporting and community groups.”

4.7 Improvements to rubbish disposal facilities at Halswell Domain and Te Kahu Park

At its 10 August 2023 meeting the Board requested staff advice on the installation of additional smart rubbish bins at Halswell Domain and investigate and advise on the improvement to the rubbish bin located on Te Kahu Park, Wigram.

Staff have advised that New ‘smart’ bins are being rolled out across the city this summer, as part of the Council’s bin rationalisation programme with busy community parks, such as those used for sport, and open spaces like beach fronts are being prioritised for new smart bins. Feedback from rangers, maintenance contractors, and park users (only received one complaint about litter issues in Halswell Domain has been received in the last six months) suggests that the current number of litter bins at Halswell Domain is sufficient and the installation of an additional bin there would be at the expense of another park, which may require additional litter provision.

The Council asks that the community help keep public places tidy and asks that if they can’t find a bin, they take any rubbish home and put it in the appropriate kerbside collection wheelie bin, so it is sent to the right place for processing. This system works well in regional and national parks.

The need for additional bins will continue to be monitored.

The litter bin at Te Kahu Park is an older-style open-topped bin and is scheduled for replacement with a new, fully enclosed Smart Bin as part of this summer’s roll out.

4.8 Franco Road Vehicle Access

At its 29 March 2022 meeting the Board requested staff to investigate vehicle access on Franco Road, Halswell and provide advice on measures that can be taken to regulate parking where this is impeding access.

Urban Field Rangers have attended this road and cut back shrubs that were impeding the visibility on the road and near the preschool.

4.9 Elsie Street Parking

At its 14 September 2023 meeting the Board requested staff advice on possible measures that can be implemented to deter drivers from parking motor vehicles too close to driveways on Elsie Street, Halswell, including parking ticks.

Staff have provided the attached memorandum in response (see Attachment D).

The advice notes that installation of parking ticks is considered in situations where there has been an ongoing history of obstructed or blocked vehicle crossings, and where parking enforcement action has been unsuccessful in resolving the issue. However, parking ticks is not always successful in deterring the parking behaviour and ongoing enforcement action may be required by Council Parking Compliance during business hours, seven days a week, by Council Contractor outside of business hours but excluding Public Holidays or by Police on Public Holidays.

Apart from an issue reported over Show weekend no other requests for enforcement action with regard to Parking in Elsie Street have been recorded in the Council’s System (HYBRIS).

Staff recommend that residents of Elsie Street should continue to report instances of parked cars blocking driveways to enable the relevant parking enforcement to respond. If enforcement does not resolve the problem then parking ticks could be considered.

4.10 Dunbars Road & Sabys Road – Pedestrian Improvements

At its 13 July 2023 meeting the Board agreed to request staff to investigate and provide advice on safe pedestrian access between Halswell School and Country Palms (Sabys Road) as well as between Oaklands School and Aidanfield (Dunbars Road).

Staff have provided the attached memorandum in response (see Attachment E). The advice identifies the issues for pedestrian concerns on both Dunbars Road and Sabys Road and indicates that safety improvement projects needed to address these are currently without an allocated budget. It is noted that there are possible lower cost and shorter term improvements identified which may be able to be progressed in the meantime until capital works funding is available.

4.11 Graffiti Snapshot

For the Board’s information, attached is a Graffiti Snapshot, an update on graffiti as of November 2023 (refer Attachment F).

4.12 Customer Service Requests/Hybris Report
