3. Executive Summary Te Whakarāpopoto Matua

3.1 Safety concerns have been raised by residents and management from the Kevin Hickman Retirement Village about exiting the main vehicle entrance on Steadman Road. This is due to the presence of parked vehicles restricting visibility, and the speed of vehicles travelling past the site.

3.2 To address these issues, it is proposed to install no stopping restrictions on Steadman Road at the Kevin Hickman Retirement Village main entrance, and pedestrian crossing point at the Rosella Street / Steadman Road intersection.

3.3 The recommended option is to install no stopping restrictions in accordance with Attachment A.

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

3.5 Options within this report have been assessed against relevant industry-standard design guidance including the sight distance requirements.

4. Background/Context Te Horopaki

4.1 Steadman Road and Rosella Street are both local roads, within the suburb of Broomfield.

4.2 Staff have visited the site on a number of occasions to view the traffic and parking situation. Parking demand is relatively high in the area due to various workers vehicles, and this is anticipated to continue as the Village is further developed. Additional road markings and parking restrictions may be recommended at a later date when the permanent levels of parking demand are known.

4.3 Staff have also identified visibility limitations at the pedestrian crossing point across Steadman Road, immediately south of the Rosella Street intersection.

4.4 Traffic counts have been undertaken to measure speed and volume. Over a 7-day period the recorded average speed was 39.2km/h, and 85^th percentile speed 44.9km/h. The average daily traffic volume was 3715 vehicles per day.

4.5 Whilst the vehicle speeds do not currently warrant prioritisation for traffic calming, there are some anticipated safety and accessibility benefits from setting a permanent speed limit of less than the current 50km/h. However, this is part of a separate broader setting of speed limits review process, and outside the scope of this report.

4.6 Aside from restricted visibility due to parked vehicles, the next greatest challenge to those exiting the Village is likely to be the traffic volume on Steadman Road, rather than the speed of vehicles.

4.7 There have been no recorded crashes in the last five years on the sections of Steadman Road and Rosella Street covered in this report. Steadman Road is classified as low collective and personal risk under Waka Kotahi’s risk mapping system. Rosella Street is classified as low collective and personal risk under Waka Kotahi’s risk mapping system. The Rosella Street / Steadman Road intersection is classified as low collective and personal risk under the Council’s risk mapping system.

4.8 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).

6.13 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 in this report are unlikely to contribute significantly to adaptation to the impacts of climate change or emissions reductions.

1. Purpose and Origin of the Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo

1.1 The purpose of this report is for the Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board to consider recommending to the Council the approval of cycle lanes on Shands Road.

1.2 The report has been written in response to an opportunity that arose through planned maintenance work, to mark cycle lanes on Shands Road to provide a continuous on-road facility for people riding bicycles.

1.3 There were no changes to parking or the level of service to other road users as a result of the re-marking. Staff are seeking retrospective approval for the cycle lanes.

2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu

That the Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board:

1. Receives the information in the Shands Road Cycle Lanes Report.

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

That the Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board recommends that the Council:

3. Approves, pursuant to Clause 18 of the Christchurch City Council Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2017:

a. That a Special Vehicle Lane (Cycle) be installed on the northwest side of Shands Road commencing at it’s intersection with Goulding Avenue, and extending in a westerly direction to it’s intersection with Halswell Junction Road.

b. That a Special Vehicle Lane (Cycle) be installed on the southwest side of Shands Road commencing at it’s intersection with Aymes Road, and extending in a westerly direction to it’s intersection with Halswell Junction Road.

c. That a Special Vehicle Lane (Cycle) be installed on the southwest side of Shands Road commencing at it’s intersection with Halswell Junction Road, and extending in a westerly direction for a distance of 116 metres.

4. Revokes any previous resolutions pertaining to traffic controls made pursuant to any bylaw to the extent that they are in conflict with the proposal as described in resolutions 3 above.

5. Approves that these resolutions take effect when road markings that evidence the restrictions described in 3 and 4 are in place (or removed in the case of revocations).

3. Executive Summary Te Whakarāpopoto Matua

3.1 In March 2024, the Traffic Operations team were informed that Shands Road was to be re-surfaced, and were asked if any further improvements could be achieved for road users when re-marking the roadway.

3.2 The current cycle lanes on Shands Road are not continuous and stop and start along the corridor. When re-sealing the road, new road marking is also required, and it was possible to create continuous cycle lanes, without affecting parking or the level of service for other road users.

3.3 The Area Engineer and the Transport Operations Manager met with Councillor Mark Peters on Monday 11 March 2024 to discuss the opportunity. There was support for this to proceed. This report is seeking retrospective approval for the cycle lanes.

4. Background/Context Te Horopaki

4.1 The resurfacing of a section of Shands Road from Halswell Junction Road in the southwest to Aymes Road/Goulding Avenue in the northeast was programmed for April 2024. It was to be an asphalt surface.

4.2 Traffic Operations were informed by the Maintenance Team of the upcoming work in March 2024, and asked if there were any changes to line marking that were required. The Area Engineer was aware of a ticket that had been received about Shands Road in terms of lack of continuous cycle facilities. The missing connection for people riding westbound from Halswell Junction Road to the Little River Rail Trail had also been previously discussed with the Network Planning team. Traffic Operations therefore produced a plan without removing any car parking or affecting levels of service for other road users.

4.3 There have been no previous memos or information sessions/workshops on this project.

Options Considered Ngā Kōwhiringa Whaiwhakaaro

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

· Preferred option

· Wait for a future capital project to deliver the improvements to the cycle lanes.

Options Descriptions Ngā Kōwhiringa

4.5 Preferred Option: Retain the continuous cycle lanes on Shands Road that have been marked as part of the maintenance work.

4.5.1 Option Description: This option includes retaining the marked continuous cycle lanes that were implemented as part of the re-marking of the road following the re-seal being undertaken by maintenance.

4.5.2 Option Advantages

· Provision of continuous cycle lanes at minimal cost, due to the carriageway having to be re-marked post re-seal. The coloured surfacing cost approximately $60k.

4.5.3 Option Disadvantages

· There would be additional costs to remove the cycle lanes if not approved.

· Reputational risk if not approved due to removal of new road marking on new road surface.

4.6 There are no alternative options presented in this report.

5. Financial Implications Ngā Hīraunga Rauemi

Capex/Opex Ngā Utu Whakahaere

	Recommended Option
Cost to Implement	$0 already installed and completed within the maintenance works. If not approved, we would remove the cycle symbols and green surfacing.
Cost to prepare report – Opex from Traffic Operations Staff Budget	$750
Maintenance/Ongoing Costs	Minimal cost to overall maintenance contract
Funding Source	Maintenance Budget
Impact on Rates	No impact on rates

6. Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro

Risks and Mitigations Ngā Mōrearea me ngā Whakamātautau

6.1 There is a risk that if this report is not approved, that the changes to road markings will need to be removed which is an additional cost to Council.

Legal Considerations Ngā Hīraunga ā-Ture

6.2 Statutory and/or delegated authority to undertake proposals in the report:

6.2.1 The Community Boards have delegated authority from the Council to exercise the delegations as set out in the Register of Delegations. The list of delegations for the Community Boards includes the resolution of stopping and traffic control devices.

6.2.2 The installation of any signs and/or markings associated with traffic control devices must comply with the Land Transport Rule: Traffic Control Devices 2004.

6.3 Other Legal Implications:

6.3.1 There is no other legal context, issue, or implication relevant to this decision.

Strategy and Policy Considerations Te Whai Kaupapa here

6.4 The required decisions:

6.4.1 Align with the Christchurch City Council’s Strategic Framework.

6.4.2 Is assessed as low significance based on 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.

6.4.3 Are consistent with Council’s Plans and Policies.

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

6.6 Transport

6.6.1 Activity: Transport

· Level of Service: 10.0.6.1 Reduce the number of death and serious injury crashes on the local road network - <=96 crashes

· Level of Service: 10.5.2 Improve the perception that Christchurch is a cycling friendly city - >=67% resident satisfaction

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

Community Impacts and Views Ngā Mariu ā-Hāpori

6.7 Due to the timing of the request to completion of the work on-site, there was no time for an engagement process to be undertaken. However, as the scheme did not remove any car parking, nor did it affect levels of service for people who drive, there was limited scope for feedback on the proposal.

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

6.8.1 Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton.

Impact on Mana Whenua Ngā Whai Take Mana Whenua

6.9 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.

6.10 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.

6.11 The decision includes minor work which is contained within the roadway.

Climate Change Impact Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Āhuarangi

6.12 The decisions in this report are likely to:

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

6.12.2 Contribute positively to emissions reductions.

6.13 This proposal includes measures to encourage people to cycle and therefore will result in positive changes to reduce carbon emissions and the effects of Climate Change.

7. Next Steps Ngā Mahinga ā-muri

7.1 There are no further steps.

Accountable ELT Member Pouwhakarae:	John Higgins, General Manager Strategy, Planning & Regulatory Services

1. Purpose and Origin of the Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo

1.1 The purpose of this report is for the Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board to approve the proposed road names at 301R Wigram Road, Hornby.

1.2 The report is staff-generated resulting from a naming request received from the developer.

2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu

That the Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board:

1. Receives the information in the Proposed Road Names - 301R Wigram Road Report.

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

3. Approves the following new road names for 301R Wigram Road (RMA/2020/85)

a. Road 1 - Punjab Place

b. Lane 1 - Naduru Lane

3. Detail Te Whakamahuki

Introduction Te Whakatkinga

3.1 A road naming request has been submitted by the developer. Preferred names and alternative names have been put forward for the roads.

3.2 The recommended road names have been checked against existing road names in Christchurch and bordering districts, for duplication, alternative spelling, or other similarities in spelling or pronunciation to avoid the potential for confusion. The proposed names are considered sufficiently different to existing road names.

3.3 The recommended road names have been checked against the Council’s Naming Policy dated 15 November 2023 and are considered to be consistent with this policy. The specific criteria for assessing a name from clause 2 is set out below.

3.3.1 A traditional or Māori name which is acceptable to the Rūnanga or Iwi; this may be a name reflecting the physical characteristics of an area, an activity or event associated with the area or of a notable ancestor.

3.3.2 A feature of historical, social, cultural, environmental or physical importance in the area (e.g., Carlton Mill Road or Carlton Mill Reserve*).

3.3.3 The name of a notable family, person or event associated with the locality or with the wider Christchurch area.

3.3.4 A name in recognition of a person’s service. This can be for community service, conservation, sport, the arts, science and research or other sphere of activity.

3.3.5 Consistency with a common or established theme for naming in a subdivision or locality.

3.3.6 A name that reflects the diverse cultures and communities of the locality or of Christchurch generally.

3.3.7 The name of an event or activity strongly associated with the immediate location including an informal name for the area that is (or was historically) in common usage.

3.3.8 A name associated with a person, event or activity of significance to Christchurch including names associated with people, events, or places of national and international significance.

3.4 The criteria for names that are not suitable for approval from clause 6 is set out below.

3.4.1 Names of people, flora, fauna or geographical features not associated with the area, e.g., names of native trees which are not present in the area or views that cannot be identified, except where the name continues a current naming theme in the locality.

3.4.2 Currently trading commercial organisations except for sponsorship names for facilities and leased parks.

3.4.3 Anagrams, amalgamations or derivatives of people's names.

3.4.4 Names of living persons.

3.4.5 Names related to the developer of a subdivision.

3.4.6 Name of a person, club or organisation associated with a privately owned building on Council land, where the club or organisation does not hold the ground lease for the building.

3.4.7 Names for roads which may cause confusion because they are associated with another geographical location or feature e.g., Parklands Drive which is not located in the Parklands suburb.

3.5 The recommended road names have also been checked against the Australia and New Zealand Standard AS/NZA 4819:2011 Rural and Urban Addressing. The names are considered to be consistent with the Standard.

3.6 Under the Roads and Right-of-Way Naming Policy, the names considered must be requested by the developer. There is no ability to consider alternative names without first checking whether there are any duplications or similarities with other road and right-of-way names.

3.7 Consultation has been undertaken with Land Information New Zealand who have raised no concerns with the proposed road names.

3.8 Consultation under the policy with rūnanga is not required because the roads to be named are not collector roads and/or sites of significance under the District Plan (clause 3 of the Naming Policy).

3.9 No addresses of neighbouring properties are affected by the proposed road naming (clause 12.2 of the Naming Policy).

3.10 The names requested have been accompanied by an explanation of the background of the names, which is summarised below.

Assessment of Significance and Engagement Te Aromatawai Whakahirahira

3.11 The decisions in this report are assessed as low significance based on the Christchurch City Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy.

3.12 The level of significance was determined by the number of people affected and/or with an interest.

3.13 Due to the assessment of low significance, no further community engagement and consultation is required.

Proposed Names

3.14 The proposed roads are shown in Attachment A.

3.15 Road names for this subdivision were originally approved in June 2021 as ‘Nandura Place’ and ‘Punjab Lane’, however the developer now wishes to swap which name went with the road/right of way, as well as proposing a new name for the right of way, as the originally submitted name was not as the developer intended. The subdivision has not yet been completed, but construction is underway.

3.16 The below names are Indian names to reflect one of the ethnic groups in the area. 2018 census data shows that statistically the cultural diversity of Awatea South is well represented by ethnic groups from the Asian region, at 41.8% of the local population. The number of ethnic groups has increased markedly since 2006. This increase in diversity represents an opportunity to establish cultural identifiers through the use of street names familiar to the community.

3.17 Road 1 - Punjab Place

3.18 Punjab is a state in northwestern India. Forming part of the larger Punjab region of the Indian subcontinent. The word Punjab is a compound of the Persian words panj (five) and āb (waters). This roughly translates to ‘the land of five rivers’, referring to the rivers Jhelum, Chenab, Ravi, Sutlej, and Beas. All are tributaries of the Indus River.

3.19 Lane 1 - Naduru Lane

3.20 Naduru is a small village/hamlet in Sagar Taluk in Shimoga District of Karnataka State, India. It comes under Channagonda Panchayath and belongs to Bangalore Division. It is located 107km west from District head quarters Shivamogga, 41km from Sagar and 388km from State capital Bangalore. Naduru is surrounded by Honavar Taluk to the North, Sagar Taluk to the East, Kundapura Taluk to the South, and Siddapur Taluk to the North.

Assessment of Names

3.21 The above names are considered to be consistent with the policy.

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 Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board to approve an amendment to the existing mobility parking restrictions, and extend the existing P120 parking restrictions on the southern side of Newbridge Place.

1.2 This report has been written in response to requests from residents for the mobility parking in Newbridge Place to be removed.

1.3 The recommended option is to reduce the number of mobility parks from four to one and extend the P120 parking restrictions in accordance with Attachment A.

2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu

That the Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board:

1. Receives the information in the Newbridge Place - Mobility Parking and P120 Parking Restrictions Amendment Report.

2. Notes that the decisions in this report are 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 reserved for vehicles with an approved mobility parking permit, prominently displayed in the vehicle, on the southern side of Newbridge Place, commencing at a point 214 metres west of its intersection with Maidstone Road and extending in a easterly direction for a distance of 7.0 metres.

b. The parking of vehicles be restricted to a maximum period of 120 minutes on the southern side of Newbridge Place, commencing at a point 207 metres west of its intersection with Maidstone Road and extending in a easterly direction for a distance of 16.0 metres. This restriction is to apply from March to November, Monday to Friday and between the times of 9am and 5pm.

5. Approves that these resolutions take effect when parking signage and/or road markings that evidence the restrictions described in 3 and 4 are in place (or removed in the case of revocations).

3. Executive Summary Te Whakarāpopoto Matua

3.1 Residents have raised concerns about the scarcity of parking on Newbridge Place. The Laura Fergusson Trust was previously based at No.23 Newbridge Place, and provided housing for people with physical disabilities. As the trust has moved the four mobility parking spaces are no longer required.

3.2 However, a resident at No.25 still has demand for mobility parking, and provision for them is recommended to continue in this case given these are existing mobility parking spaces in place.

3.3 The recommended option is to reduce the number of mobility parks from four to one and to extend with P120 parking restrictions in accordance with Attachment A.

4. Background/Context Te Horopaki

4.1 There are approximately thirty unrestricted kerbside parking spaces on the northern side of Newbridge Place and twenty-one P120 9am-5pm, Monday to Friday, March to November restricted kerbside parking on the southern side of Newbridge Place. The parking is observed to be fully occupied during university terms. Parking demand is also generally high on Newbridge Place.

4.2 The existing four mobility parks are marked parallel to the kerb on the southern side of Newbridge Place.

4.3 The recommended option is to maintain one mobility parking space, and allow for an additional three P120 parking spaces, consistent with the other parking restrictions on the southern side of the street. Unrestricted parking will remain on the northern side of the street.

4.4 The proposal is consistent with Council’s Suburban Parking Policy which prioritises mobility parking over other short stay, resident, or commuter parking.

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

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 Considered Ngā Kōwhiringa Whaiwhakaaro

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

· Recommended option – Replace three of the mobility parking spaces with three P120 parking restriction spaces and maintain one mobility parking space.

· Option 2 – Replace two mobility parking space with two P120 parking restriction spaces and maintain two mobility parking spaces.

· Option 3 – Do nothing.

Options Descriptions Ngā Kōwhiringa

4.8 Preferred Option: Replace three mobility parking spaces with three P120 parking restriction spaces and maintain one mobility parking space in accordance with Attachment A.

4.8.1 Option Advantages

· This proposal is intended to provide safe and accessible parking option for anyone holding a mobility parking permit while increasing the availability of P120 parking restriction spaces on Newbridge Place.

4.8.2 Option Disadvantages

· None identified.

4.9 Option 2: Replace two mobility parking spaces with two P120 parking restriction spaces and maintain two mobility parking spaces.

4.9.1 Option Advantages

· This proposal is at the request of the resident holding a mobility parking permit who also requested an additional mobility parking space for his visitors who are also mobility parking permit holders. It is noted that a mobility card holder can also park within a P120 parking restriction space.

4.9.2 Option Disadvantages

· This does not fully address the other local residents request to improve parking situation on Newbridge Place when parking demands are high. The additional mobility parking space can only be used by holders of a mobility parking permit.

4.10 Option 3: Do nothing.

4.10.1 Option Advantages

· No cost to Council.

4.10.2 Option Disadvantages

· This option retains four mobility parking psaces, which are under utilised.

· This does not address the residents request to improve parking situation on Newbridge Place when parking demands are high.

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

4.1 Upper Riccarton Safety Improvements - Construction

At its meeting on 15 February 2024, the Community Board approved a package of improvements to make it safer for all transport users travelling around Upper Riccarton. Staff have provided the attached update on how the works will be undertaken (see Attachment B).

The contractor undertaking the works has prepared a programme for completion of the work at night as works during the day would cause severe disruption to the road network.

This work started in mid-June and will take at least eight weeks to complete.

Stage 1 – Upper Riccarton work package is split into four zones:

· Zone 1 - Waimairi Road including the platform on Waimairi Road at the Riccarton

Road/Waimairi Road intersection.

· Zone 2 Hansons/Riccarton intersection and Riccarton Road platform east of

Waimairi Road.

· Zone 3 Main South Road/Curletts Road intersection

· Zone 4 All minor works including a pedestrian island, side road speed humps etc.

Planning the implementation of the works includes:

· engagement with local businesses to ascertain any that operate overnight, as well as any property access requirements for large vehicle deliveries, planned property works and events.

· Visiting residents close to the works and start works notices. For the wider residential community and schools.

· A strategic approach i to communications and marketing to ensure residents, schools and businesses are aware that the safety improvements are taking place.

Stage 2 – Main South/Yaldhurst/Riccarton intersection works are still to be considered and agreed upon by the Council. A separate package of physical works will be undertaken at a future date.

4.2 Halswell Junction Road- Pedestrian Safety Improvements

Following a Public Forum presentation by a local resident to the Council on 21 June 2023.

The Council requested that staff provide advice on the issues raised and investigated what measures could be taken to address safety concerns, resulting from the speed limits along Halswell Junction Road, and what could be installed to provide for safer crossing for the Knights Stream School children and others to the rugby fields and skatepark.

Staff have now reviewed the safety concerns and provided a memorandum in response (see Attachment C) advising that the following actions are proposed to improve safety:

· Permanent warning signage has been installed on approaches to the pedestrian crossing points to improve awareness of the possible presence of pedestrians, including children.

· Median island vegetation has been lowered to improve intervisibility between pedestrians waiting to cross and approaching road users.

· As part of the approved Interim Speed Management Plan, a variable 30kilometre per hour speed limit is being installed on Halswell Junction Road. This will cover the approaches to both Albert Willis Avenue and Denali Street and the nearby pedestrian crossing points. This is anticipated to be installed by the end of September 2024.

Staff will review the situation should any pedestrian safety concerns remain following the installation of the variable speed limit.

4.3 Oakhampton Reserve playground renewal

Description and Objectives:

To renew the Play Space at Oakhampton Reserve as it has reached the end of its life span and is no longer compliant to the playground standards.

· A ticket has been raised with the Council’s contractors to tidy up the cabbage trees. However, due to the current Tree Policy they are unable to be removed.

· CCC Park Rangers have completed some repairs on the fencing

· Community Partnership Rangers will be coordinating a 'community working bee', once the playground construction is completed, to encourage kaitiaki over the park

Concept Design:

The concept design was finalised in May 2024 (refer Attachment G Concept Design May 2024) and has been approved by the Project Sponsor

Next steps:

· Finalise detailed design and tender documents – June/July 2024

Description and Objectives:

To renew the Play Space at Rosella Reserve as it has reached the end of its life span and is no longer compliant to the playground standards.

Consultation was undertaken via Korero Mai in August 2023. The consultation was based on an early concept plan (refer attachment H) that displayed likely equipment options and saw the playground renewed at the opposite end of the reserve towards Ben Navis Drive.

Five responses were received:

· One in favour of concept design, asking for monkey bars to be added

· One did not comment on concept

· More seating/ picnic spaces

· Three oppose the concept design - Blocks view, leave in current location (x 3)

Ask for more play elements: stepping poles, climbing frame

Concept Design: In light of the consultation feedback the play space will be retained in its current position along Rosella Street. The play equipment selection was amended to allow for the inclusion of monkey bars.
The concept design (refer attachment I) has been approved by the Project Sponsor

Next steps:

Finalise detailed design and tender documents – June/July 2024

4.5 Riccarton and Fendalton Christchurch Regeneration Acceleration Facility (CRAF) update

Staff have provided an update on the Riccarton CRAF programme (see Attachment J).

The priority for the Community Board for this package of improvements was to investigate a pedestrian crossing facility outside the Masjid Al Noor Mosque on Deans Avenue. Early engagement has been had with representatives of the Mosque and with Deans Avenue Precinct Society and pedestrian counts undertaken on Deans Avenue. Pedestrian data analysis supports a signalised crossing at this location, using the Pedestrian Network Guide Crossing Selection Process.

Scheme design and costings are nearing completion.

Bradshaw Terrace street renewal construction is scheduled for completion early July 2024. Due to limited availability the street tree species was changed from Acer platanoides ‘Globosum’ to Crape Myrtle Lagerstroemia indica ‘De Puard’. Both trees are a small deciduous tree well suited to the site location and conditions. All residents were notified of this change.

Brockworth Place Street renewal (Deans Avenue to 23 Brockworth Place) scheme design is complete with scheme cost estimate underway.

Consultation is planned for September/October following a Community Board Information Session. This project will be consulted on alongside the Deans Avenue crossing facility as the community and stakeholders are the same.

The initial three projects of the package of minor cycle, footpath and traffic calming improvements identified are in scheme design and investigations. These are:

· Installation of two mid-block speed humps on Mona Vale near Kilmarnock Street

· Installation of a speed hump on Darvel Street

· Installation of two speed humps either side of the bridge on Harakeke Street, between Rochdale Street and Matai Street West

Lighting assessments are currently underway for each project followed by scheme design construction estimates. Consultation with affected residents planned for September/October following a Community Board Information Session with consultation planned for September/October following a Community Board Information Session.

The project for the installation of a signalised raised pedestrian crossing on Waimairi Road at the Bush Inn Centre was recently approved alongside the Church Corner safety improvements package.

Construction is expected to start in early July 2024 and is being delivered with the Church Corner works. The majority of these works will be nightworks due to the high number of vehicles during the day through this area. Early engagement regarding the construction has been undertaken with affected businesses and residents.

The installation of tactile pavers is complete.

Once the confirmed costs and estimates for the current projects are known the project team will work with the Boards to determine the projects to be delivered with the remaining budget.
