7. Gambia Street / Grants Road / Rayburn Avenue intersection - Proposed no stopping restrictions
Reference / Te Tohutoro:	24/336071
Report of / Te Pou Matua:	Michael Thomson, Transport Network Planner, Michael.thomson@ccc.govt.nz
Senior Manager / Pouwhakarae:	Jane Parfitt, Interim General Manager Infrastructure, Planning and Regulatory Services

1. Purpose and Origin of Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo

1.1 To seek approval for the proposed no stopping restrictions at the Gambia Street / Grants Road / Rayburn Avenue intersection.

1.2 Numerous requests have been received from a member of the public regarding vehicles parking close to the intersection.

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. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu

That the Waipapa Papanui-Innes-Central Community Board:

1. Approves that any previously approved resolutions be revoked , in accordance with Clause 6 (2) of the Christchurch City Council Traffic & Parking Bylaw 2017, on Gambia Street, Grants Road and Rayburn Avenue pertaining to parking and /or stopping restrictions, made pursuant to any Bylaw, Local Government Act, or any Land Transport Rule, to the extent that they are in conflict with the parking and /or stopping restrictions described in recommendation 2. below.

2. Approves, pursuant to Clause 7 of the Christchurch City Council Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2017 and as shown on Attachment A:

a. That the stopping of vehicles be prohibited at any time on the south-west side of Gambia Street from its intersection with Grants Road and extending in a north-westerly direction for a distance of 23 metres.

b. That the stopping of vehicles be prohibited at any time on the north-east side of Gambia Street from its intersection with Grants Road and extending in a north-westerly direction for a distance of 31 metres.

c. That the stopping of vehicles be prohibited at any time on the north-west side of Grants Road from its intersection with Gambia Street and extending in a north-easterly direction for a distance of 15 metres.

d. That the stopping of vehicles be prohibited at any time on the south-east side of Grants Road from its intersection with Rayburn Avenue and extending in a north-easterly direction for a distance of 30 metres.

e. That the stopping of vehicles be prohibited at any time on the north-east side of Rayburn Avenue from its intersection with Grants Road and extending in a south-easterly direction for a distance of 14 metres.

f. That the stopping of vehicles be prohibited at any time on the south-west side of Rayburn Avenue from its intersection with Grants Road and extending in a south-easterly direction for a distance of 14 metres.

g. That the stopping of vehicles be prohibited at any time on the south-east side of Grants Road from its intersection with Rayburn Avenue and extending in a south-westerly direction for a distance of 15 metres.

h. That the stopping of vehicles be prohibited at any time on the north-west side of Grants Road from its intersection with Gambia Street and extending in a south-westerly direction for a distance of 30 metres.

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

3. Reason for Report Recommendations Ngā Take mō te Whakatau

3.1 To ensure that the intersection is unobstructed to allow for visibility and vehicle turning movements especially due to the high demand for parking in the area.

3.2 The extent of the no stopping restrictions proposed ensures that the resultant parking areas do not create spaces where an additional vehicle may try to park and inadvertently protrude into the traffic lane, obstruct a vehicle crossing or park on a grass berm to avoid protruding into the traffic lane.

3.3 The proposed no stopping restrictions at the intersection will also assist the Parking Compliance Team due to less call-outs and ease of enforcement due to the presence of the no stopping lines.

4. Alternative Options Considered Ētahi atu Kōwhiringa

4.1 Maintain the status quo – Do Nothing.

4.2 The advantage with this option is that it will not incur any cost associated with the road markings and the Stop signs including its ongoing maintenance cost.

4.3 The disadvantages of this option include:

4.3.1 Does not address the community concerns with visibility at the intersection.

4.3.2 There will likely be an increase in parking demand in the area due to the redevelopment of some of the properties to higher density living and with the proximity of a school, there may be more motorists parking in the proposed no stopping areas which will restrict visibility at the intersection.

5. Detail Te Whakamahuki

5.1 A member of the community has contacted the Council on a number of occasions requesting no stopping restrictions to improve the visibility at the intersection.

5.2 In the last five years, the Council had received:

· Eight complaints regarding vehicles parking either on the grass berm, footpath or for blocked vehicle entrance between #2 and #8 Gambia Street.

· Three complaints regarding vehicles parked on grass berm at 47 Grants Rd.

5.3 From the NZ Transport Agency National Speed Limit Register (NSLR), Gambia St / Grants Rd / Rayburn Avenue intersection has a speed limit of 30 km/h from 10/2/2023.

Figure 1: National Speed Limit Register of Gambia Street / Grants Road / Rayburn Avenue intersection

5.4 There have been no reported crashes recorded in the NZ Transport Agency Crash Analysis System (CAS) as of 11 March 2024 in the last 5 years. However, one of the submitters advised that the there was a crash in January 2024 involving a vehicle turning onto Gambia Street from Grants Road which collided with parked vehicles outside #4 Gambia Street.

5.5 The extent of the no stopping restrictions on Gambia Street is proposed at the point where Gambia Street starts to narrow and its alignment changes as it approaches Grants Road. The no stopping restrictions on Grants Road and Rayburn Avenue are proposed at the point generally where the kerb build-outs commences.

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

5.6.1 Waipapa Papanui-Innes-Central.

Community Views and Preferences

5.7 Consultation documents were mailed out to the directly affected property owners/residents. The consultation catchment area is shown in Figure 2 and the consultation period was from 11 to 31 January 2024.

Figure 2: Gambia St/Grants Rd/Rayburn Ave intersection, proposed no stopping – consultation catchment area

5.8 Four submissions were received on the proposal and two submissions supported the proposal. One of the submissions for support had also suggested two changes. Staff responses to these are included below to the submitter’s suggestions.

· To extend the proposed no stopping lines 6 metres (1 car length) down the west side of Gambia street. This is because of the problem with sightlines for traffic turning left from Grants Road into Gambia street...if a car is parked there, it is impossible to see oncoming traffic.

There is adequate sight line for northbound traffic on Gambia Street from the Grants Road intersection to see oncoming traffic. Traffic turning left from Grants Road into Gambia Street may need to stop behind the parked vehicle to check for oncoming traffic but this is not uncommon on local roads with parking on both sides of the road. However, with the removal of parking beside #1/4 Gambia Street, there is sufficient road width for 2-way traffic.

· To have a limited parking time at school drop off times as parents of students at the Adventist school around the corner use the street to drop off and pick up young people.

This will be investigated as part of a separate project and we will work with the Adventist School to determine if there is a need for this.

5.9 Two submissions objected to the proposal due to the loss of parking. One of the submitters suggested alternative solutions which are included below along with staff responses.

· “…I would propose as an alternate solution the painting of a white L on the road to indicate the safe parking distance from the drive to prevent this.

As a second alternative - I note that the road contour in Gambia is different from Grants and Rayburn in that the curvature is more gradual in front of 4 Gambia and a narrow wood chip “garden” uses some of the parking width. Replicating the contour with that in the other streets and removal of the narrow redundant garden could provide less of a bottle neck while maintaining the traffic speed reduction effect and parking in Gambia St.

There is already a rule which prohibits vehicles from parking within 1 metre of a driveway and this is managed through our Parking Compliance Team. We receive a large number of these requests and it is impractical for the Council to install and maintain parking ticks at all the private driveways that request them.

As to the submitter’s second alternative suggestion, there is limited funding and it is not practical and cost-effective to use the funds to re-align the road to accommodate two additional parking spaces in this area.

5.10 One of the other submitters that objected to the proposal stated a number of reasons on their objections to the loss of parking. The submitter’s comments are included below along with staff responses.

· “This is the most ridiculous idea I have ever heard. The impact that this will have on residents won’t be positive, it will be negative. You are going to stop residents from parking outside of their houses and result in them parking around the road. Are you not aware of the high crimes rates we have at the moment? The reason why people like their cars close to their houses is so they can keep an eye on them for safety, if it’s around the corner, how are we meant to know if someone steals it?

No only my point above, you are then going to make it difficult for people to rent out their houses if they have no street parking outside of their house. Considering we are already in a housing crisis you are then going to make the situation worse.

If anything needs to happen, you need to put stop signs on Gambia Street and Rayburn Ave. Putting ‘no stopping’ zones in is not going to improve the situation at all.

There is always pressure for road space and although in the majority of suburban streets, a large proportion of the road space is currently allocated for parking but this may not necessary be the same in the future. In accordance with the Christchurch Suburban Parking Policy, road space will be prioritised in the following order and in the following areas:

Staff have assessed the requirement for a Stop Control at this location using appropriate guidance in Austroads and it does not meet the criteria for a Stop Control.

6. Policy Framework Implications Ngā Hīraunga ā- Kaupapa here

Residents parking is 5^th in the order of priority.

Impact on Mana Whenua Ngā Whai Take Mana Whenua

6.5 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 not specifically impact Mana Whenua, their culture and traditions.

6.6 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.

Climate Change Impact Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Āhuarangi

6.7 The proposal in this report is unlikely to contribute significantly to adaptation to the impacts of climate change or emissions reductions.

Accessibility Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Hunga Hauā

6.8 This proposal improves accessibility for drivers by providing a safer means of access at the intersection with improved visibility and vehicle turning movements especially due to the high demand of parking in the area.

8. Papanui Primary School - Proposed Parking Changes
Reference / Te Tohutoro:	23/1777970
Report of / Te Pou Matua:	Michael Thomson, Transport Engineer, michael.thomson@ccc.govt.nz
Senior Manager / Pouwhakarae:	Jane Parfitt, Interim General Manager Infrastructure, Planning and Regulatory Services

1. Purpose and Origin of Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo

1.1 The purpose of this report is to seek approval of the proposed parking changes around Papanui Primary School on Winters Road and Fraser Street.

1.2 This report has been written in response to a request from the school for Council to consider options to improve the safety and efficiency near the school patrol crossing and main school gate during the school pick up and drop off times.

2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu

That the Waipapa Papanui-Innes-Central Community Board:

1. Approves that any previously approved resolutions be revoked , in accordance with Clause 6 (2) of the Christchurch City Council Traffic & Parking Bylaw 2017, on both sides of Fraser Street from its intersection with Cranford Street, and extending in a north-easterly direction to its intersection with Winters Road, pertaining to parking and /or stopping restrictions, made pursuant to any Bylaw, Local Government Act, or any Land Transport Rule, to the extent that they are in conflict with the parking and /or stopping restrictions described in recommendation 3 below.

2. Approves that any previously approved resolutions be revoked , in accordance with Clause 6 (2) of the Christchurch City Council Traffic & Parking Bylaw 2017, on Winters Road from its intersection with Fraser Street, and extending in a south-easterly direction for a distance of 127 metres, pertaining to parking and /or stopping restrictions, made pursuant to any Bylaw, Local Government Act, or any Land Transport Rule, to the extent that they are in conflict with the parking and /or stopping restrictions described in recommendation 3. below.

3. Approves, pursuant to Clause 7 of the Christchurch City Council Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2017 and as shown on Attachment A:

a. That the stopping of vehicles be prohibited at any time on the western side of Fraser Street from its intersection with Cranford Street and extending in a north-easterly direction for a distance of 34 metres.

b. That the stopping of vehicles be prohibited at any time on the eastern side of Fraser Street from its intersection with Cranford Street and extending in a north-easterly direction for a distance of 23 metres.

c. That the stopping of vehicles be prohibited at any time on the eastern side of Fraser Street from its intersection with Winters Road and extending in a south-westerly direction for a distance of 13 metres.

d. That the stopping of vehicles be prohibited at any time on the north-east side of Winters Road commencing at a point 98 metres south-east of its intersection with Fraser Street and extending in a south-easterly direction for a distance of 29 metres.

e. That the stopping of vehicles be prohibited at any time on the south-west side of Winters Road from its intersection with Fraser Street and extending in a south-easterly direction for a distance of 13 metres.

f. That the parking of vehicles be restricted to a maximum period of three minutes between the times of 8.15am to 9.15am and 2.30pm to 3.30pm, school days only on the south-west side of Winters Road commencing at a point 39 metres south-east of its intersection with Fraser Street and extending in a south-easterly direction for a distance of 54 metres.

g. That the stopping of vehicles be prohibited at any time on the south-west side of Winters Road commencing at a point 93 metres south-east of its intersection with Fraser Street and extending in a south-easterly direction for a distance of 26 metres.

4. Approves pursuant to Clause 6(2) of the Christchurch City Council Traffic & Parking Bylaw 2017 that the parking of vehicles be restricted to a maximum period of three minutes between the times of 8.30am to 9.30am and 2.30pm to 3.30pm, school days only on the south side of Fraser Street commencing at a point 13 metres south of its intersection with Winters Road and extending in a southerly direction for a distance of 47 metres be revoked.

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

3. Reason for Report Recommendations Ngā Take mō te Whakatau

3.1 Safety concerns have been raised by staff at Papanui Primary School about congestion and parking behaviour near the School Patrol crossing on Winters Road. The school requested that the P3 parking be relocated from Fraser Street to Winters Road.

3.2 This has been investigated and a proposal has been developed to relocate the P3 parking from Fraser Street to Winters Road. The relocated P3 restrictions will affect one additional on-street car park to avoid the bend warning sign, parking restrictions will apply between the hours of 8.15am - 9.15am and 2.30pm - 3.30pm.

3.3 Vehicles are parking beside 43 Winters Road in the space between the vehicle crossing and the school patrol kerb build out. The available length is insufficient to accommodate most vehicles and often results in either cars overhanging the driveway or being parked too close to the school crossing thereby reducing visibility at the crossing. It is proposed that the existing no stopping restrictions from the school patrol kerb build-out be extended to the driveway of 43 Winters Road.

3.4 Options within this report have been assessed against the Councils Suburban Parking Policy which prioritises safety and short term parking over residents and commuter parking.

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 Retain one additional unrestricted parking space on street.

4.3 The disadvantages of the option include:

4.3.1 Does not address the identified safety issue relating to traffic congestion and the management of on-street parking during peak periods near the school patrol.

4.3.2 Does not provide an accessible pick up /drop off area for students at the school’s main gate.

5. Detail Te Whakamahuki

5.1 Winters Road is one of three locations where students can enter Papanui Primary School. There are two pedestrian accesses on Winters Road and one on Fraser Street.

5.2 The school has advised that the demand for pick up/drop off is on Winters Road and the P3 parking restriction on Fraser Street is not well utilised as it is located further away from the school’s main gate. The proposed P3 parking restrictions is located close to the school’s main gate.

5.3 The proposal is intended to provide higher turnover of parking near the school’s main gate to reduce the congestion near the school patrol crossing whilst drivers are searching/waiting for a park. The proposed P3 parking restriction provides enough time for drivers to stop and students to be picked up or dropped off, but not enough time for drivers to park and leave their vehicle.

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

5.4.1 Waipapa Papanui-Innes-Central Community Board.

Community Views and Preferences

5.5 The directly affected property owner of the proposed no stopping restriction was advised of the recommended option by letter. The property owner supports the proposal and provided the following feedback:

· Your solution would really help as often cars even stop or turn into our driveway to allow their children to be picked up/dropped off for school so this would help.

It would also increase visibility for the Parent/s and Traffic Warden Students if there was no car parked where they can currently.

5.6 The proposal was also emailed to the school and the School confirmed their support for the proposal.

5.7 The Team Leader Parking Compliance supports the preferred option.

5.8 This report also takes the opportunity to reconfirm by resolution the existing no stopping lines around the intersections of Cranford Street, Fraser Street, Winters Road and by the school crossing for clarity. These have not been consulted upon given they are existing and no other changes are proposed.

Waipapa Papanui-Innes-Central Community Board

11 April 2024

9. Chester Street East - Resident Permit Only and Angle Parking
Reference / Te Tohutoro:	24/149601
Report of / Te Pou Matua:	Michael Thomson, Transport Network Planner, Michael.thomson@ccc.govt.nz
Senior Manager / Pouwhakarae:	Jane Parfitt, Interim General Manager Infrastructure, Planning and Regulatory Services

1. Purpose and Origin of Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo

1.1 To re-instate the Resident Permit Only and Angle Parking spaces that were previously in place but were not reinstated when the road was resealed.

1.2 With the removal of the angle parking lines and the incorrect signage, the 'Resident Only' parking spaces have effectively been removed although up to eight 'Resident Parking Permits' may be issued for those spaces.

2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu

That the Waipapa Papanui-Innes-Central Community Board:

1. Approves that any previously approved resolutions be revoked , in accordance with Clause 6 (2) of the Christchurch City Council Traffic & Parking Bylaw 2017, on the south side of Chester Street East from its intersection with Barbadoes Street and extending in a westerly direction for a distance of 88 metres, pertaining to parking and /or stopping restrictions, made pursuant to any Bylaw, Local Government Act, or any Land Transport Rule, to the extent that they are in conflict with the parking and /or stopping restrictions described in recommendations 2 to 5 below.

2. Approves, pursuant to Clause 7 of the Christchurch City Council Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2017 and as shown on Attachment A (Drawing: TG148302, Issue: 30/01/2024) that the stopping of vehicles be prohibited at any time on the south side of Chester Street East from its intersection with Barbadoes Street and extending in westerly direction for a distance of 17 metres.

3. Approves, pursuant to Clause 10 of the Christchurch City Council Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2017 and as shown on Attachment A (Drawing: TG148302, Issue: 30/01/2024), that the parking of vehicles be reserved for vehicles with an approved Resident’s Parking Permit, prominently displayed in the vehicle, on the south side of Chester Street East, commencing at a point 17 metres west of its intersection with Barbadoes Street and extending in a westerly direction for a distance of 10 metres. This restriction is to apply at all times and be restricted to 90 degree angle parking.

4. Approves, pursuant to Clause 7 of the Christchurch City Council Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2017 and as shown on Attachment A (Drawing: TG148302, Issue: 30/01/2024) that the parking of vehicles be restricted to 90 degree angle parking on the south side of Chester Street East commencing at a point 27 metres west from its intersection with Barbadoes Street and extending in a westerly direction for a distance of 28 metres.

5. Approves, pursuant to Clause 7 of the Christchurch City Council Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2017 and as shown on Attachment A (Drawing: TG148302, Issue: 30/01/2024) that the stopping of vehicles be prohibited at any time on the south side of Chester Street East commencing at a point 55 metres from its intersection with Barbadoes Street and extending in westerly direction for a distance of 33 metres.

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

3. Reason for Report Recommendations Ngā Take mō te Whakatau

3.1 Re-instatement of the angle parking on the south side of Chester Street East near Barbadoes Street where four of the angle parking spaces are also reserved for residents with permits only in accordance with Attachment A.

3.2 This has impacted on the Parking Compliance Officer’s ability to enforce the intended parking restrictions due to inadequate signs and markings.

3.3 According to the Council’s Central City Parking Policy 2021, Council will also generally retain existing resident-only parking areas but do not permit new ones. Therefore, all existing permit holders in the immediate vicinity will be sent a letter in June advising them the details of how to obtain a permit including the permit cost and annual renewal fee. It will reflect negatively on the Council if residents with resident-only parking permits will need to again compete with commuters and other residents/visitors for a parking space.

3.4 The advantages of the preferred/recommended option are:

· It will comply with Policy 6 of the Council’s Central City Parking Policy 2021;

· To assist the Parking Compliance Team with enforcing the intended parking restrictions; and

· Better utilise the roadspace available with angle parking spaces as intended by the design of the indented parking bay.

4. Alternative Options Considered Ētahi atu Kōwhiringa

4.1 Maintain the status quo – Do Nothing.

4.2 There are no advantages with this option except it will not incur any cost associated with the re-instatement and the ongoing maintenance cost for the roadmarkings and signs.

4.3 The disadvantages of this option include:

4.3.1 Contradicts Policy 6 of the Council’s Central City Parking Policy 2021 where Council will generally retain existing resident-only parking areas but do not permit new resident-only areas. From the Council’s SmartMap, the previously marked and signed resident‑only parks have been there since at least 2004.

4.3.2 According to Clause 6.12 of the Land Transport (Road User) Rule 2004, unless the road controlling authority has indicated that vehicles may be parked at an angle to the direction of the road, a driver or person in charge of a vehicle must not stop, stand, or park the vehicle otherwise than parallel with the direction of the roadway. Therefore, vehicles parked in these spaces should be parked parallel to the road which does not best utilise the space that is available or the intended road design.

4.3.3 Provide a negative perception of the Council when there are inadequate signage and roadmarkings in place as the Parking Compliance Team are not able to undertake any enforcement in this parking area.

5. Detail Te Whakamahuki

5.1 The Parking Operations & Appeals Team have requested that the Area Traffic Engineer re‑instate the resident-only permit parking spaces on Chester Street East. These reserved parking spaces for resident-only have been in place from at least 2004 (from Council’s SmartMap) but they were not re-instated when the road was resealed sometime between October 2019 and August 2020 (as can be seen in Google Streetview). The roadmarkings for the remaining angle parking spaces in this indented parking bay area were also not re-instated.

5.2 Although there could be up to eight permits issued for the four resident-only permit parking spaces, residents are paying for a permit which is ineffective as they are now also competing with commuters and other residents/visitors due to the inadequate signs and roadmarkings in place.

5.3 The proposal has been developed in accordance with the Council’s Central City Parking Policy 2021, where Council will generally retain existing resident-only parking areas but do not permit new ones.

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

5.4.1 Waipapa Papanui-Innes-Central.

Community Views and Preferences

5.5 Consultation has been carried out with the affected properties from 12 to 29 February 2024 proposing that the angle parking spaces and the four Resident Permit Only parking spaces be re-instated. The consultation catchment area is shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1: Chester Street East, resident permit only and angle parking – consultation catchment area

5.6 Consultation documents were mailed out to the directly affected property owners/residents. Note that one of the affected property owner’s postal address is overseas, therefore the consultation documents were sent to the property address for the residents only.

5.7 Four submissions were received on the proposal and all four submissions supported the proposal.

5.8 In addition, one of the submitters had also requested yellow cross-hatch markings in the no stopping area of the indented parking bay outside 1/120 Chester Street East to discourage commuters parking half onto the berm area as can be seen in Figure 2.

5.9 It is noted that if the angle parking spaces were re-instated and the no stopping restrictions re-marked, it would be clearer to motorists where they can park.

5.10 Yellow cross hatchings are generally only installed in situations such as where exits for emergency vehicles may be blocked by queuing traffic or at a railway crossing to define a clear zone area that drivers should not enter when their departure is blocked. It is not appropriate to install the yellow cross hatching here as the no stopping restrictions already prohibits motorists from parking there.

Waipapa Papanui-Innes-Central Community Board

11 April 2024

10. Innes Road/Malvern Park Pedestrian Crossing - Proposed No Stopping Restrictions
Reference Te Tohutoro:	24/47427
Report of Te Pou Matua:	Sally-Ann Marshall - Traffic Engineer, sallyann.marshall @ccc.govt.nz
General Manager Pouwhakarae:	Mary Richardson, General Manager Citizens & Community (Mary.Richardson@ccc.govt.nz)

1. Purpose of the Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo

1.1 For the Waipapa Papanui-Innes-Central Community Board to approve the installation of No Stopping restrictions on Innes Road. This will improve visibility for pedestrians using the crossing adjacent to Malvern Park to cross Innes Road. This report has been written in response to a concern from a member of the public about parked vehicles affecting pedestrian visibility when crossing from the south side of the road.

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 Waipapa Papanui-Innes-Central Community Board:

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

2. Approves that, in accordance with Clause 7 of the Christchurch City Council Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2017, the stopping of vehicles be prohibited at all times on the south-east side of Innes Road commencing at a point 98 metres south-west of its intersection with Roosevelt Avenue and extending in a south-westerly direction for a distance of 46.5 metres.

3. Reason for Report Recommendations Ngā Take mō te Whakatau

3.1 There is an existing pedestrian refuge on Innes Road that links Malvern Park with a pedestrian walkway to Weston Road, as shown on Attachment A. Vehicles are repeatedly parking in a position that either blocks or obscures visibility of oncoming traffic to pedestrians waiting to cross, refer Attachment B.

3.2 Our recommendation is to install a No Stopping restriction in this location to deter this behaviour, as shown on Attachment A.

4. Alternative Options Considered Ētahi atu Kōwhiringa

4.1 Maintain the status quo – Do Nothing

4.2 The advantages of this option include:

4.2.1 Retains approximately 12 on-street, unrestricted parking spaces.

4.3 The disadvantages of the option include:

4.3.1 Does not address the identified safety issue with parked vehicles blocking the crossing and/or impeding visibility to pedestrians.

4.3.2 Does not meet current standards for visibility at a crossing point.

5. Detail Te Whakamahuki

5.1 Innes Road is classified as a Minor Arterial road in the Councils Road Classification System.

5.2 The posted speed limit is 50 km/h.

5.3 There is an existing pedestrian refuge that links Malvern Park to a footpath to Weston Road on the opposite side of Innes Road. Vehicles have been identified as parking either blocking the crossing or impeding pedestrian visibility of oncoming traffic.

5.4 Crossing sight distance (CSD) should be provided at crossings where pedestrians do not have the priority and must choose gaps in the traffic stream to cross safely. The CSD has been calculated as 75 metres for this location considering the 50km/h operating speed, a 1.2 metre per second walk rate and a 6.5 metre crossing distance.

5.5 Using these criteria, we are recommending that 40.5 metres of no stopping lines be installed on the south side of Innes Road to achieve this standard. We are also recommending that one car park space in the westerly direction be included, to prevent vehicles from parking blocking or obscuring the crossing point.

5.6 The CSD is only affected for this approach scenario i.e.. on the south side of Innes Road. Appropriate sight distance is provided on the other crossing approach as there is a build-out on the north side of Innes Road.

5.7 The proposal will remove approximately 12 unrestricted parking spaces adjacent to Malvern Park. Parking occupancy is generally observed to be low to moderate in this location, apart from when sporting events are on. This has been discussed with Councils Parks unit. They confirmed that there are plenty of alternative parking opportunities in the area and they do not foresee the loss of these 12 parking spaces causing any issues.

5.8 The Waka Kotahi CAS crash database shows there was a serious incident in 2022 where a nine-year old was hit by a vehicle when crossing the road in this location. It does appear that they were crossing from north to south where visibility of oncoming traffic is clearer due to the existing build-out.

5.9 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

5.10 The proposal is adjacent to Malvern Park and is not directly outside any residential or business properties. Parks have been advised of the recommended option and have commented as per Section 5.6.

5.11 The Team Leader Parking Compliance supports the preferred option.

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

6. Policy Framework Implications Ngā Hīraunga ā- Kaupapa here

Strategic Alignment Te Rautaki Tīaroaro

6.1 Council’s strategic priorities have been considered in formulating the recommendations in this report, however this area of work is not specifically covered by an identified priority.

Policy Consistency Te Whai Kaupapa here

6.4 The recommendations in this report are consistent with the Christchurch Suburban Parking Policy.

Impact on Mana Whenua Ngā Whai Take Mana Whenua

6.5 The effects of this proposal upon Mana Whenua are expected to be insignificant.

Climate Change Impact Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Āhuarangi

6.6 This proposal does not have any significant effect upon carbon emissions and Climate Change.

Accessibility Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Hunga Hauā

6.7 This proposal improves accessibility for pedestrians by improving sight lines and ensuring that pedestrians are visible to approaching traffic.

7. Resource Implications Ngā Hīraunga Rauemi

The Women’s Centre works for the well-being of all women, by assisting, encouraging and supporting them to make informed choices in their lives. Established in 1986, the Centre was originally set up to support women on their journey leaving the Women’s Refuge, and once the Refuge established its own support system, the focus of the Women’s Centre shifted to serving all Christchurch women.

The Centre is a safe space and drop-in centre for women to access resources, courses, support groups, workshops, counselling, and information about further support services.

The Board Chair of the Women's Centre in her opening speech thanked staff, supporters and volunteers for their amazing work and ongoing support. She also thanked the Board for their Better Off funding support for the relocation and set up costs of the new premises, developing as it did through discussions between the Centre and Council staff assessing the need for, and implications of, securing larger premises.

· Richmond Gala

Held on Saturday, 23 March 2024, Richmond Gala is a showcase of all the amazing happenings in and around our Richmond, and a collaborative event hosted by Avebury House, Richmond Community Garden and "We Are Richmond".

· Liaison Meeting with Ward School Principals and Members of Parliament

On the morning of 22 March 2024, the Board hosted School Principals and Members of Parliament from the Board area in its Boardroom for roundtable discussion of local issues. The attendees also heard from the Council Community Funding Advisor administering the Mayor’s Welfare Fund about how the Fund can assist struggling families.

The Principal at Te Oraka Shirley Intermediate, Brett Cooper, kindly spoke to a letter of thanks he’d written on behalf of the school community to the Board for their support though the Board’s initiative to contribute to remediating their pools so they can be used by students and the local community. He noted there that:

"Your generous grant of $60 000 will significantly help us to move ahead with our restoration plans. The pools will benefit local schools which include Pareawa Banks Ave and Shirley Primary. This will enable us to teach swimming skills and water safety. Also, local families will be able to make use of the pools outside of school hours.

We will share the progress we make with you so you can see firsthand how your support has made a tangible impact on the lives of others."

3.6.2 Council Engagement and Consultation

· Draft Long Term Plan 2024-34 (closes 21 April 2024)

The Long Term Plan (LTP) sets the direction for all the activities and services the Council provides, and how it will pay for these services over the next 10 years.

The Council is asking what residents think of its proposed plan – whether it has the balance right, whether it has prioritised the right things, and about its alternative options.

In this LTP the Council has focused on developing a deliverable capital programme - proposing to spend the $6.5 billion over the next 10 years across a range of activities, including some key areas that residents told it are important through our Residents Surveys, and our early engagement on the LTP.

The Council’s budget search tool shows how much money it is spending on projects over the next ten years, and where.

4.2 Orion update on works to install a new underground power cable between Bromley and Milton Street

Orion’s Community Engagement Lead on 27 March 2024 provided the below update on these works:

We have successfully installed around 5.5km of new power cable from Bromley through to Ensors Road in Woolston, and around 2.0km of cable along Brougham Street from Opawa Road, via Burlington Street to Milton Street. Our current works on Brougham Street, near Burlington Street are due to be finished this week (weather depending).

We have one final section of cable to complete. This requires us to dig a trench on Ensors Road from Brougham Street to Sullivan Avenue. We can then install the final length of cable from a joint bay near Sullivan Avenue to a joint bay on Brougham Street, between Opawa Road and Wilsons Road. The cable will be pulled through the ducts we installed on Brougham Street in late 2023. Once the cable is installed, we can join it to previously installed cables, and the full cable route will be complete.

Upcoming works on Ensors Road

To safely install the final section of cable on Ensors Road, traffic management will be in place from early-April:

· Ensors Road will be reduced to one lane southbound (travelling towards Brougham Street) from around MacKenzie Avenue.

· Southbound traffic will still be able to turn left and right from Ensors Road onto Brougham Street, although the number of lanes will be reduced.

· Sullivan Avenue and MacKenzie Avenue will remain open.

· The northbound lanes on Ensors Road (travelling towards Ferry Road) will not be affected.

· There will be no on-street parking available where we are working (outside the Ara Woolston Campus).

These works are planned to start in early-April and be completed in June 2024.

We have delivered a start work notice to residents around the work area and have notified the Ara Woolston Campus of the upcoming works.

In early May, we will need to close the southbound lanes on Ensors Road for three nights to deliver the new cable to the site. The cable arrives on large drums and is craned into position. We need to close the road to safely accommodate the crane on site. The southbound lanes will be closed from 9pm to 5am for between 3-4 hours while we unload the cable. This closure will affect access to MacKenzie Avenue and Sullivan Avenue at night. Detour routes will be signposted.

Upcoming works on Brougham Street

To complete the cable installation there will be some final works on Brougham Street around the joint bay between Opawa Road and Wilson Road. Once we’ve installed the final section of cable and joined this to previously installed cables, we will be able to close the joint bay and reinstate the road.

We will complete works around the joint bay largely at night, maintaining one lane in each direction on Brougham Street. During the day, Brougham Street will be two lanes in each direction. The intersections at Opawa Road and Waltham Road will not be affected by the works around the joint bay.

We understand these works have been impactful, particularly for residents affected by the night works. We have appreciated the patience and understanding of local residents who have been very accommodating. While we all benefit from a strengthened electricity network, we do understand that construction works outside homes is an inconvenience.
