9. Neville Street / Barrington Street and Hammond Place / Barrington Street Intersections - Proposed No Stopping Restrictions
Reference Te Tohutoro:	24/454224
Responsible Officer(s) Te Pou Matua:	Sally-Ann Marshall, Traffic Engineer Toni Dakers, Traffic Engineer
Accountable ELT Member Pouwhakarae:	Brent Smith, Acting General Manager City Infrastructure

1. Purpose and Origin of the Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo

1.1 For the Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board to approve the installation of No Stopping restrictions at the following locations:

1.1.1 intersection of Neville Street / Barrington Street

1.1.2 intersection of Hammond Place / Barrington Street

1.1.3 north of the driveway to 408 Barrington Street

1.2 This report has been written in response to a request from a member of the public to investigate the installation of No Stopping restrictions to improve visibility at the Neville Street and Barrington Street intersection. The Hammond Place intersection with Barrington Street has also been included as the same situation exists there.

1.3 Separately to this, staff received a resident petition via the Community Board for No Stopping restrictions to be marked on Barrington Street to improve visibility for drivers turning from the driveways of 408 and 406 (A-F) Barrington Street.

1.4 The recommended option is to install No Stopping restrictions in accordance with Attachments A and B.

2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu

That the Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board:

1. Receive the information in the Neville Street / Barrington Street and Hammond Place / Barrington Street Intersections - Proposed No Stopping Restrictions Report.

2. Note that the decision in this report is assessed as low significance based on the Christchurch City Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy.

3. Revoke any previous resolutions pertaining to traffic controls made pursuant to any bylaw to the extent that they are in conflict with the parking or stopping restrictions described in resolutions 4a to 4i below.

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

Neville Street (Attachment A)

a. the stopping of vehicles is prohibited at all times on the southeast side of Neville Street commencing at its intersection with Barrington Street, and extending in a south-westerly direction for a distance of 18 metres.

b. the stopping of vehicles is prohibited at all times on the southwest side of Barrington Street commencing at its intersection with Neville Street, and extending in a south-easterly direction for a distance of 24 metres.

c. the stopping of vehicles is prohibited at all times on the northwest side of Neville Street commencing at its intersection with Barrington Street, and extending in a south-westerly direction for a distance of 18 metres.

d. the stopping of vehicles is prohibited at all times on the southwest side of Barrington Street commencing at its intersection with Neville Street, and extending in a north-westerly direction for a distance of 18 metres.

Hammond Place (Attachment A)

e. the stopping of vehicles is prohibited at all times on the northwest side of Hammond Place commencing at its intersection with Barrington Street, and extending in a north-easterly direction for a distance of 11 metres.

f. the stopping of vehicles is prohibited at all times on the northeast side of Barrington Street commencing at its intersection with Hammond Place, and extending in a north-westerly direction for a distance of 20 metres.

g. the stopping of vehicles is prohibited at all times on the southwest side of Hammond Place commencing at its intersection with Barrington Street, and extending in a north-easterly direction for a distance of 11 metres.

h. the stopping of vehicles is prohibited at all times on the northeast side of Barrington Street commencing at its intersection with Hammond Place, and extending in a south-easterly direction for a distance of 15 metres.

Barrington Street (Attachment B)

i. the stopping of vehicles is prohibited at all times on the northeast side of Barrington Street, commencing at a point 78 metres southeast of its intersection with Hammond Place, and extending in a south-easterly direction for a distance of 6 metres.

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

3. Executive Summary Te Whakarāpopoto Matua

3.1 Safety concerns have been raised about on-street parking restricting visibility at the intersection of Neville Street / Barrington Street. The Hammond Place intersection with Barrington Street has also been included as the same situation exists there.

3.2 Staff have investigated and agree with the safety concerns raised. The No Stopping restriction proposal reinforces the existing line marking and is consistent with other intersections in the area.

3.3 In addition to this, a short section of no stopping restrictions is proposed to be marked immediately northwest of the driveway to 408 Barrington Street. The proposal will improve visibility for drivers exiting this driveway and the one immediately adjacent and provide a clear line of sight to the Neville Street intersection. Further reasoning for the proposal is detailed in the memo included as Attachment C to this report.

3.4 The recommended option is to install No Stopping restrictions in accordance with Attachments A and B.

4. Background/Context Te Horopaki

4.1 Under the Councils roading hierarchy, Barrington Street is classified as a Minor Arterial Road. Both Neville Street and Hammond Place are classified as Local Roads.

4.2 Arterial roads provide connections between major arterial roads and the major rural, suburban and industrial areas and commercial centres. Generally, these roads cater for trips of intermediate length. Arterial roads provide the most important movement function and as such require the highest degree of movement function protection.

4.3 Barrington Street forms part of a high frequency bus route.

4.4 Both the Neville Street and Hammond Place intersections with Barrington Street have existing tapered road markings however neither intersection currently has No Stopping restrictions installed. This is inconsistent with other intersections off Barrington Street in the area.

4.5 The existing tapered road markings indicate that vehicles should not park here. Vehicles have been noted by staff on several visits to be parked in these locations. This has the potential to affect visibility of vehicles exiting both Neville Street and Hammond Place onto Barrington Street, which is a busy minor arterial route.

4.6 There are moderate residential parking demands in the area.

4.7 A search of the Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency Crash Analysis System has identified one minor crash in the last 10 years. This involved a left turning car out of Hammond Place hitting a cyclist heading south. No crashes have been reported at the Neville Street intersection over the same time period.

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

4.9 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).

Options Considered Ngā Kōwhiringa Whaiwhakaaro

4.10 The following reasonably practicable options were considered and are assessed in this report:

· Mark No Stopping restrictions at the two intersections and adjacent to the driveway, in accordance with Attachments A and B.

· Do Nothing and leave the road markings as is.

4.11 The following option was considered but ruled out:

· Extend the No Stopping restrictions further along Barrington Street to achieve the Safe Intersection Sight Distance standards, which for a road with a 50km/h operating speed is a minimum of 90 metres (requiring the no stopping restrictions to be extended further by around 20 metres).

The original reason for the proposal was to prevent parking in the tapered areas, marked either side of the intersections. Staff have extended the no stopping restrictions further than this to achieve the Minimum Gap Sight Distance standards. This is considered to be appropriate in this location as it is consistent with (or exceeds) other intersections in the area, there is no pattern of crashes at these intersections or permanent obstructions impeding visibility. A moderate parking demand is observed so there is opportunity for drivers exiting the intersections to see through or around any vehicles parked further down Barrington Street.

Options Descriptions Ngā Kōwhiringa

4.12 Preferred Option: Mark no stopping restrictions in accordance with Attachments A and B

4.12.1 Option Advantages

· Improves visibility for drivers turning onto Barrington Street to address the identified safety issues and concerns from members of the public.

4.12.2 Option Disadvantages

· Removes up to 15 on street parking spaces, over the three locations. However, the majority of these are within the tapered markings.

4.13 Maintain the status quo - Do nothing and all road markings remain as is.

4.13.1 Option Advantages

· Retains up to 15 on street parking spaces.

4.13.2 Option Disadvantages

· Does not address community concerns over the lack of visibility at the Neville Street intersection with Barrington Street.

· Does not improve the visibility at the intersection of Hammond Place with Barrington Street where the same issues with visibility exist.

· Does not reduce the risk of a crash by improving sightlines at the intersections of Neville Street and Hammond Place with Barrington Street.

· Does not provide a consistent approach to visibility management in line with other intersections along this section of Barrington Street.

· Does not address concerns from residents about poor driveway visibility, including to the Neville Street / Barrington Street intersection.

Community Impacts and Views Ngā Mariu ā-Hāpori

Neville Street / Barrington Street and Hammond Place / Barrington Street intersections

6.7 Six affected residents and two property owners were advised of the recommended option by letter.

6.8 We received one response in support of the proposal. The resident asked if we could extend the No Stopping restriction to the south of #425 Barrington Street. Their reasoning for this was that they had seen vehicles veering in very closely when approaching to turn left onto Neville Street and that vehicles regularly park too close to their driveway. We have therefore extended the No Stopping restriction to remove the space outside #425 Barrington Street.

6.9 The markings at the Hammond Place intersection have also been extended further north by five metres to achieve the Minimum Gap Sight distance standards.

408 Barrington Street

6.10 Staff received a petition in July 2023 from members of the public requesting for No Stopping restrictions to be marked on Barrington Street between the driveway of 408 and the bus stop outside 414 Barrington Street, a distance of around 32 Metres. Staff did not support restricting parking over this full length, however confirmed that an option to remove one car park will be progressed. A full response to the petition is included in the attached memo.

6.11 Information letters were delivered on 28 March 2024 to 19 affected properties to inform property owners/tenants of the proposal to mark six metres of No Stopping restrictions (Attachment B). No further comments were received at the time of writing this report.

6.12 The Team Leader Parking Compliance supports the preferred option.

Impact on Mana Whenua Ngā Whai Take Mana Whenua

6.13 The decision does not involve a significant decision concerning 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.

6.14 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

6.16 The proposals included in this report are unlikely to contribute significantly to adaptation to the impacts of climate change or emissions reductions.

6.17 This is a minor proposal that is principally intended to address safety issues at these locations. Due to the minor nature of the works, it is not expected to have any impact on climate change.

7. Next Steps Ngā Mahinga ā-muri

10. Poulson Street - Proposed Parking Changes
Reference Te Tohutoro:	24/525711
Responsible Officer(s) Te Pou Matua:	Toni Dakers, Traffic Engineer
Accountable ELT Member Pouwhakarae:	Brent Smith, Acting General Manager City Infrastructure

1. Purpose and Origin of the Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo

1.1 For the Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board to approve the installation of No Stopping restrictions and time restricted parking on Poulson Street.

1.2 This report has been written in response to safety concerns raised by members of the public about parked vehicles obstructing visibility around the bend near 31 and 62 Poulson Street.

1.3 The recommended option is to install no stopping restrictions and P120 parking in accordance with Attachment A.

2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu

That the Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board:

1. Receive the information in the Poulson Street - Proposed Parking Changes Report.

2. Note that the decision in this report is assessed as low significance based on the Christchurch City Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy.

4. Approves that in accordance with Clause 7 of the Christchurch City Council Traffic and Parking bylaw 2017, that:

a. the parking of vehicles be restricted to a maximum period of 120 minutes between the hours of 11:00am and 3:00pm, Monday to Friday, on the south side of Poulson Street, commencing at a point 11 metres west of Dickens Street, measured from an extension of the western kerbline, and extending west for a distance of 27.5 metres, as shown on the plan provided as Attachment A to this report (Poulson Street Proposed Parking Improvements, TG146861, dated 08/01/2024).

b. the stopping of vehicles be prohibited at all times on the south side of Poulson Street, commencing at a point 38.5 metres west of its intersection with Dickens Street, measured from an extension of the western kerbline, and extending west for a distance of 19.5 metres, as shown on the plan provided as Attachment A to this report (Poulson Street Proposed Parking Improvements, TG146861, dated 08/01/2024).

3. Executive Summary Te Whakarāpopoto Matua

3.1 Members of the public have raised concerns about speed and driver behaviour on Poulson Street, specifically at the bend near 31 and 64 Poulson Street. Due to the high demand for parking in this area, drivers are often parked close to the bend at the extent of the existing no stopping restrictions. This restricts visibility to oncoming traffic and essentially creates a one-way threshold through this location. A further 10 metres of No Stopping restrictions are proposed to improve visibility and reduce the risk of conflict between opposing vehicles. This removes up to two on street parking spaces, allowing drivers to observe oncoming traffic from further back.

3.2 In addition to this, a 30km/h speed limit has been approved for Poulson Street to further improve safety as part of the Safe Speed Neighbourhood Programme.

3.3 The existing P5 loading zone is no longer required so this will be removed. The three parking spaces affected by this proposal will be changed to P120 parking between the hours of 11am and 3pm Monday to Friday which is consistent with others in this immediate area.

3.4 The recommended option is to extend the no stopping restrictions and implement P120 parking, in accordance with Attachment A.

4. Background/Context Te Horopaki

4.1 Poulson Street is around 9 metres wide in this location.

4.2 A P5 loading zone is currently installed on the south side approaching the bend. The owners of the adjacent site, The Salvation Army, have confirmed that this loading zone is no longer required as they have not operated their commercial shop here for over two years.

4.3 There is a high parking demand in this area due to the higher density residential developments and proximity to Addington commercial area.

4.4 Two crashes have been reported in this location over the last ten years. Neither of these crashes were associated with conflict between opposing vehicles, however while there is no history of head on crashes or other crash types associated with opposing vehicles, the concern around poor visibility in this location has been raised multiple times with staff. The proposal will reduce the risk of a crash by improving sight lines to opposing traffic.

4.5 Poulson Street has a posted speed limit of 40km/h. A tube count survey was undertaken in February 2024 to confirm the operating speeds on Poulson Street (between Parlane Street and Church Square). The survey recorded an average speed of 26.9km/h and 85%ile speed of 34.6km/h, indicating that the majority of drivers are adhering to the posted speed limit.

4.6 If approved, the recommendations will be implemented within the current financial year (generally around four weeks after the contractor receives the request, but this is subject to other factors such as resourcing and prioritisation beyond Council’s control).

Options Descriptions Ngā Kōwhiringa

4.7 Preferred Option: Mark no stopping restrictions and amend parking in accordance with Attachment A.

4.7.1 Option Advantages

· This option is principally about improving safety for road users travelling on Poulson Street, the advantages of this option are described in Sections 3 and 4 above.

4.7.2 Option Disadvantages

· Removal of up to two parking spaces.

· Cost to install new road marking and signs.

4.8 Maintain the status quo – do nothing

4.8.1 Option Advantages

· Retains up to two parking spaces.

4.8.2 Option Disadvantages

· Does not address the identified safety issue regarding poor visibility to oncoming traffic.

12. Urban Forest Tree Planting Plan for Spreydon Domain and Francis Reserve
Reference Te Tohutoro:	24/655487
Responsible Officer(s) Te Pou Matua:	Toby Chapman (Urban Forest Manager)
Accountable ELT Member Pouwhakarae:	Andrew Rutledge, Acting General Manager Citizens and Community

1. Purpose and Origin of the Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo

1.1 The purpose of this report to seek approval for the planting of trees within Francis Reserve and Spreydon Domain as per the consulted tree planting plans.

1.2 The planting within this park is part of the urban forest planting program. This program is focused on increasing the canopy cover across our park in alignment with the Councils Urban Forest plan.

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 number of properties that will be impacted and how it will alter the park for those who use it.

2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu

That the Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board:

1. Receive the information in the Urban Forest Tree Planting Plan for Spreydon Domain and Francis Reserve Report.

2. Note that the decision in this report is of low significance concerning the Christchurch City Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy.

3. Approve the planting of trees within Spreydon Domain as per the attached plans

4. Approve the planting of trees within Francis Reserve as per the attached plans.

3. Executive Summary Te Whakarāpopoto Matua

3.1 Planting plans have been developed for both Spreydon Domain and Francis Reserve.

3.2 If approved, these plans would see an increase in canopy cover in each park with Spreydon Domain increasing from 20% to 27% and Francis reserve from 28% to 37%.

3.3 All proposed planting takes into account the mature size of the tree and aims to address future issues such as shading through tree placement and species selection.

3.4 The two plans both received positive feedback through the consultation phase with only one person opposing the plans in Francis reserve. The person who opposed the plan stated they are happy with the tree planting however, they had concerns about the ground conditions and the ability for trees to survive.

3.5 Staff will be selecting species that are able to cope with the local conditions including sites within Francis reserve that can become very wet during winter months.

4. Background/Context Te Horopaki

4.1 In 2023 the Christchurch City Council (Council) adopted an Urban Forest Plan which has a key focus on increasing the city’s canopy cover. The Urban Forest Tree Planting program was established in the same year as part of the implementation of this plan.

4.2 Planting plans for Sydenham Domain and Francis Reserve have been developed to significantly increase the number of trees (and canopy cover) within these parks in alignment with the Urban Forest Plan.

4.3 The plans have a strong focus on ensuring that the trees selected and their placement will be suitable for the full life of the tree and takes account of the impact they will have. This is represented in the plans through showing the trees at their mature size aswell as the inclusion of shade mapping.

4.4 A section of native restoration planting has also been proposed for Francis Reserve. This forest will form part of the city’s forest patch network which aims to have groups of planting distributed across the city at varying intervals to support the movement of wildlife. This is another objective of the Urban Forest Plan.

4.5
Image 1 below shows the proposed planting at Spreydon Domain.

4.6 The proposed planting within Spreydon Domain would see an additional 266 trees planted. As the Domain borders a waterway, a majority of the planting will be native species which aligns with the consultation requests.

4.7 Once this planting is complete, the park will have a future canopy cover of 27% which is a 7% increase on its current canopy cover.

4.8

Image 2 below shows the proposed planting for Francis Reserve.

4.9

4.10 The proposed planting within Francis Reserve 37 trees and 2300m² of restoration planting. All of the restoration planting will be native planting. The species selected will take into account the ground conditions including areas which have been identified as being very wet and boggy in winter.

4.11 The following related memos/information were circulated to the members of the meeting:

Date	Subject
31 Dec 2023	Proposed parks for Urban Forest Planting 2024-2025

Emily Jones – Hip Hop Unite World Championships, Portugal

This funding received from the Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board allowed me to attend the competition and experience a lifetime experience in travel, culture and World Competition. This experience has increased the enrolment at our studio by over 50% and has allowed us to extend and grow our name.

In the future I will be continuing to dance and reach out to agencies to further my growth in dance, while our studio (Ace Dance Studios) will be returning to the same competition and more, and to hopefully qualify to dance on a world stage for a second time.

4.4 At the Briefing on 6 April 2023, the Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board agreed to request that staff look at swapping out Project 8 – Huxley Street (Burlington to Montrose) renewal for a project that has a budget of $500,000, with any left-over budget to go back into Safety and Access projects (Projects 1-5). Staff have advised: Huxley Street (Montrose to Burlington) has been removed from the CRAF programme.

4.5 During the Elected Member Information Exchange on 10 August 2023, the Board requests that the issues raised regarding damage to the footpath alongside 229 Waimea Terrace be referred to staff to investigate making the footpath safe for pedestrian access. Staff have advised: Met the resident in August 2023 and agreed to lay down crusher-dust in front of the property. This was completed in September 2023.

4.6 At the Spreydon-Cashmere Community Board meeting on 4 August 2020, That the Waihoro/Spreydon-Cashmere Community Board:

1. Sub-delegate to the Chair and Deputy Chair of the Spreydon-Cashmere Community Board the determination to remove trees, under Section 42 of the Reserves Act 1977 and Section 334 of the Local Government Act 1974 (delegated to the Board under Part D – Sub-Part 1 of the Delegations Register), for the implementation of the Dyers Pass Road Safety Improvements project.

Staff advised: on 6 March 2024 P Bawden and L Gordon reported to Chair and Deputy Chair and gained approval to remove 3 trees potentially affected by construction of Site 1 on Dyers Pass Rd.

4.7 From a public forum presentation by Redcliffs Tennis Club on 26 October 2023, the Board referred the issues raised to staff to investigate and report back. The staff response follows:

There were two sites looked at by the club; the old Redcliffs School and below Mulgans Track.

1) Redcliffs School. I think this has already been answered through a different channel, but its actually a community park (not red zone). I checked with them, and the park has been fully developed and there isn’t room to fit in the courts (the areas that currently look like grass are actually playing fields.

2) Mulgans Track. This is redzone land, so the answer isn’t a no, but as with all red zone land, it was red zoned for a reason so there are complexities. I’ve snipped below the overlay, which shows that almost all of this area is in Rockfall Management Area 1. I asked the Geotech engineer about mitigation, and he said he’d need to do modelling to confirm, but as a guide the bund would probably need to be 2m high or so. Options from cheapest to most expensive would be:

a. Earth bund, although this would need the widest overall footprint – likely 8-10m.

b. Terramesh bund, probably around 4m footprint overall

c. Safety fence – minimal footprint but the engineer thought it would be extremely expensive.

The next technical step if the club would like to proceed would be for him to do modelling and confirm the scale/extent of mitigation needed.
