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 Juniper Reserve and Highsted Reserve have been developed to 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 During
the consultation of the plans, Council was approached by Roydvale School with a
request that staff come to the school and discuss the tree planting program
with them. The school have expressed an interest in working with Council
to inform tree species selection and to help with planting.
4.5 If
the plans are approved, staff will work closely with the school to implement
the plan.

3. Executive Summary Te Whakarāpopoto Matua
3.1 A
scheme design was developed for Glandovey Road and Idris Road to address
concerns raised by a local resident group (GISA) around safety and
accessibility for all road users.
3.1.1 The design developed
for consultation sought to reallocate the existing road space to provide two
cycle lanes (one on each side of both Glandovey Road and Idris Road) and five
refuge islands (two on Idris Rd, three on Glandovey Rd).
3.1.2 The proposed cycle
lanes and pedestrian refuges would require the removal of approximately 116
parking spaces on Glandovey Rd and 62 parking spaces on Idris Rd. This would
leave approximately 34 spaces remaining on Glandovey Rd and 42 spaces on Idris
Rd.
3.2 Feedback
obtained from the local community during consultation on the scheme design
indicated there were concerns around the level of parking loss.
3.2.1 This resulted in a
post-consultation review that looked at options for increasing parking
provision through removing one or more of the pedestrian refuges.
3.2.2 Through the
post-consultation review, an alternative option was developed and assessed,
that mitigated the parking loss by removing three of the pedestrian refuges.
3.3 The
recommended option is based on the original design, which the community were
consulted on.
3.3.1 This weights the
accessibility improvements provided by the five pedestrian refuges in the
original scheme design (Option 1) to be of greater transport benefit than the
removal of pedestrian refuges to increase parking provision.
4. Background/Context Te Horopaki
Project Context
4.1 This
project is a delivery package of the Active Transport Level of Service
Enhancements Programme (#60377) line item in the Long Term Plan 2021 –
2031 (LTP) and is included in the Long Term Plan 2024 – 2034 as #66406
Glandovey Road West and Idris Road – Active Transport Improvements.
4.1.1 This project
originated from concerns raised by the Glandovey Idris Straven Residents
Association (GISA) around issues such as: the volume and speed of traffic,
heavy vehicles, lack of safe cycling/walking facilities and landscaping on
Glandovey and Idris Roads. To address these issues, GISA requested improvements
such as cycle lanes, pedestrian crossings, traffic calming, heavy vehicle
restrictions, thresholds and turning movements at signalised intersections.
4.2 Separate
to this project there are two additional projects planned in this area, which
are;
· A speed limit change is proposed for Glandovey Rd, between Fendalton
Rd and Idris Rd, as part of the Safer Speed Neighbourhoods Programme. This will
see the speed limit change from 50km/h to 40km/h. However, these changes have
been placed on hold while the consultation and decision-making process is
carried out on the Setting of Speed Limits 2024 Land Transport Rule.
· Pavement resealing on Glandovey Rd, between Fendalton Rd and Idris
Rd, due between Oct 2024-June 2025. This project is planned to address the poor
pavement condition on this section of Glandovey Rd. This work has been planned
for several years but was delayed to ensure it ties in with this project, but
will need to be completed soon to avoid road pavement failure.
4.3 The
scope of the Glandovey Rd and Idris Rd cycleway project includes Glandovey
Road, between Fendalton Road and Idris Road, and Idris Road, between Fendalton
Road and Glandovey Road.
4.4 The
objectives of the project are:
· To provide improved pedestrian access through safe crossing points
· Incorporate on-road cycle lanes
· Reduce vehicle speeds and to slow traffic down on Glandovey Road
· Discourage heavy vehicle use on Glandovey Road
· Resolve pedestrian safety issues at the intersection of Fendalton
Road and Glandovey Road
Background
4.5 Data
was collected in 2022 to assist with the development of the scheme design,
which included:
· an on-street parking survey, on both Glandovey Rd and Idris Rd, to
understand the level of parking occupancy
· cycle and pedestrian count and movement survey on Glandovey Rd and
Idris Rd
· traffic count data (from CCC traffic count database)
4.6 The
parking survey showed that occupancy of these spaces ranged between 18% - 25% (27
– 37 spaces taken out of a total of 150 spaces) for Glandovey Road and 9%
- 11% (9 – 11 spaces taken out of a total of 104 spaces) for Idris Road.
A summary of the 2022 parking occupancy survey is provided in Attachment C.
4.6.1 These low parking
occupancy rates indicated that both Glandovey Rd and Idris Rd would be suitable
for a reallocation of road space, by removing parking to accommodate cycle
lanes, without significantly impacting on the ability to meet existing
on-street parking demand.
4.7 The
2022 cycle and pedestrian counts, provided in Attachment E, were used to
understand the volume of pedestrians and cyclists using Glandovey Rd and Idris
Rd and the key cycle and pedestrian movements in the area.
4.7.1 The pedestrian and
cycle count data did not show a high volume of pedestrians or cyclists on
either Glandovey Rd or Idris Rd, however low pedestrian and cyclist volumes do
not necessarily indicate a lack of need for active travel facilities, as it may
be that the issues identified by the community were making these roads
unattractive to active travel users.
4.7.2 The key information
provided by the pedestrian and cycle data was the ability to identify clear
desire lines where people were crossing Glandovey Rd and Idris Rd, which was
used to guide the need for, and location of, pedestrian crossing points.
Initial Design and Consultation
4.8 A
scheme design was developed that supported the safety improvements being sought
by GISA and included:
· Cycle lanes on both sides of Glandovey Rd (between Fendalton Rd and
Idris Rd) and Idris Rd (between Glandovey Rd and Fendalton Rd)
· Five new pedestrian refuge islands: three on Glandovey Road and two
on Idris Road.
· Speed cushions for the approaches to the refuge islands on Glandovey
Rd to slow down vehicles and support the lower speed environment.
4.9 The
inclusion of cycle lanes and pedestrian refuge islands within the available road
space will require the removal of up to 77% of on street parking (116 car
parks) from Glandovey Road and 60% (62 car parks) from Idris Road. This will
leave approximately 34 spaces available on Glandovey Rd and 42 spaces on Idris
Rd.
4.10 Consultation was
carried out on the scheme design, between 2 August and 5 September 2023, which
showed that the community view was fairly evenly split between those who
generally supported the project and those who opposed it. Many of those opposed
to the scheme design were concerned about the number of parking spaces that
would be removed.
4.10.1 Section 7 of this report
provides a summary of the consultation feedback received for this project.
Post-Consultation Review
4.11 Following the
consultation response, Council staff reviewed the scheme plans to determine how
the design could be adjusted, without altering kerb alignments, to reduce the
number of parking spaces being removed. The most viable solution to reduce the
loss of parking spaces was to remove one or more of the five pedestrian
refuges.
4.12 The pedestrian
and cycle survey data indicated there was benefit in retaining the refuge
proposed for Glandovey Rd, immediately west of Bryndwr Rd, as it is located on
an obvious pedestrian and cycle desire line. Therefore, analysis was carried
out on the other four pedestrian refuges to determine the number of parking
spaces that could be retained through their removal. The result of this
analysis is provided in the following table.

4.13 Additional pedestrian
and cycle count data was also obtained to understand if there had been much
change in pedestrian and cycle volumes since 2022 and to assess the level of
pedestrian and cycle usage each refuge could expect to attract. The count data
indicated there had not been a significant change in pedestrian and cycle
movements since the 2022 count.
4.14 The results of
the 2024 pedestrian and cycle survey are provided in Attachment E. The
survey results showed there had been little change in pedestrian and cycle
volumes since the 2022 counts.
4.15 A follow up
parking survey was carried out in late 2023 as part of the post consultation
review, to determine whether parking levels had changed since 2022. The 2024
parking survey found similar occupancy levels as 2022, with 19% - 25% (28 to 37
spaces) occupied on Glandovey Road and 12% - 19% (12 – 19 spaces) occupied
on Idris Road. The 2023 parking survey results are provided in Attachment D.
Alternative Options
4.16 The
post-consultation review resulted in the development of two alternative
options:
4.16.1 Option 2 (Attachment B):
this would increase parking provision through providing only one refuge on
Glandovey Rd and one on Idris Rd. This option would provide approximately 48
parking spaces on Glandovey Rd and 49 spaces on Idris Road.
4.16.2 Option 3: do nothing
Discussions with Developers
4.17 Post
consultation, staff were also approached by the Directors of Brooksfield with
an offer to supply Council with up to $80k worth of plants to support the
addition of trees and landscaping along Glandovey Rd. An additional review was
then carried out to determine whether trees could be accommodated within the
scheme design and, if so, where they could be located. This involved
investigating the location of existing underground services and reviewing the
available road reserve width to see whether there was sufficient space to allow
for traffic lanes, cycle lanes and trees.
4.18 This
investigation found that trees could not be accommodated on Glandovey Rd due to
the location of existing services, within both the road space and road berm.
Staff’s findings were relayed to the Brooksfield Directors at a meeting
on 28 February 2024, during which further options were discussed. Following
this meeting, staff re-investigated whether trees could be accommodated within
the design, but the location of services was again found to prevent trees from
being planted on Glandovey Rd.

5. Options Considered Ngā Kōwhiringa Whaiwhakaaro
5.1 The
following reasonably practicable options were considered and are assessed in
this report:
· Option 1: Proceed with the original
scheme layout.
· Option 2: Proceed with an amended scheme
layout that provides two pedestrian refuges; one on Glandovey Rd and one on
Idris Rd.
· Option 3: Do nothing.
5.2 The
following options were considered but ruled out:
· Option 4: Amend the original scheme
layout to allow for the installation of trees.
Options Descriptions Ngā
Kōwhiringa
5.3 Preferred
Option: Option 1: Retain the original scheme layout plan.
5.4 Option
Description: This option is for the original scheme, included as Attachment
A, that went out for consultation. The design seeks to repurpose the
existing road space to provide; two traffic lanes, two cycle lanes and five
pedestrian refuges (two on Idris Rd, three on Glandovey Rd). Existing parking
occupancy levels are low on both Glandovey Rd and Idris Rd, so this option
still retains enough parking spaces to meet the existing parking demand.
5.4.1 Option Advantages
· Improves cycle accessibility and connectivity. The proposed cycle
lanes will connect with existing cycle lanes on Glandovey Rd, east of Idris
Road, and will allow cyclists to join with the Major Cycleway Network via the
Northern Line – which crosses Glandovey Rd approximately 180m east of the
Glandovey Rd/Idris Rd intersection.
· Improves pedestrian accessibility across both Glandovey Rd and Idris
Rd.
· Provides safe crossing points for pedestrians, improving safety for
all road users.
· Best aligns with the road space priorities as detailed in
Council’s Suburban Parking Policy.
5.4.2 Option
Disadvantages
· Removes the most parking spaces of all options.
· There is a risk that Option 1 might not be able to be delivered
within the current budget allowance, however this is an estimate which includes
a significant contingency figure. The project will be put out to a
competitive tender process so the final price is not confirmed. The project
will only proceed to construction once the Council has confirmed that adequate
budget is available to meet the contracted commitments.
5.5 Option
2: Proceed with an amended scheme layout that provides two pedestrian
refuges; one on Glandovey Rd and one on Idris Rd.
5.5.1 Option
Description: This option, included as Attachment B, is based on the
original scheme layout but has three of the pedestrian refuges removed, which
will reduce the number of parking spaces to be removed. This option will retain
one refuge on Glandovey Rd, located immediately west of Bryndwr Rd, and one
refuge on Idris Rd, located immediately north of Wroxton Terrace. These refuges
were retained based on their proximity to pedestrian desire lines observed from
pedestrian surveys carried out in the area.
5.5.2 Option Advantages
· The cycle lanes will improve cycle accessibility and connectivity
with the wider cycle network.
· It retains 21 more parking spaces (14 on Glandovey Rd, 7 on Idris
Rd) than the original scheme design.
· It still retains some safe crossing locations (on Glandovey Rd and
Idris Rd) for pedestrians and cyclists.
· It is expected that Option 2 can be delivered within the current
budget allowance for this project.
5.5.3 Option
Disadvantages
· Fewer pedestrian crossing points (than Option 1) provides a reduced
level of improvement in pedestrian and cycle accessibility.
5.6 Option
3: Do nothing
5.6.1 Option
Description: This option involves retaining the current road layout and
making no changes.
5.6.2 Option Advantages
· No loss of parking spaces on either Glandovey Rd or Idris Rd
5.6.3 Option
Disadvantages
· Lack of pedestrian crossing points on Glandovey Rd and Idris Rd
means there will be no improvement to pedestrian/cyclist safety or
accessibility.
· Lack of cycle lanes is likely to deter people from cycling along
Glandovey Rd and Idris Rd, therefore reducing the likelihood of increasing the share
of daily trips carried out by active transport modes.
5.7 Option
4 (Ruled out): Amend the original scheme layout to allow the
installation of trees.
5.7.1 Option
Description: This option was generally based on the original scheme layout,
however it sought to modify the design to allow for trees to be
accommodated. Potential modifications investigated included: removing
parking spaces to provide tree pits or planting within the existing road berm.
This option was ruled out as trees cannot be accommodated within the scheme
design without significant changes to the design, such as realigning kerbs or
relocating services, making this option cost prohibitive.
5.7.2 Option Advantages
· The provision of trees would enhance the general amenity of
Glandovey Rd.
· The provision of trees aligns with the Council’s 2023 Urban
Forest Plan.
5.7.3 Option
Disadvantages
· Trees cannot be accommodated within the scheme design without
significant changes to the design. This is expected to be cost prohibitive,
require re-consultation, and would likely further reduce total parking capacity.

7. Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaarox
Risks and Mitigations Ngā
Mōrearea me ngā Whakamātautau
7.1 Should
the Community Board proceed with the recommended Option (Option 1):
· There is a risk the local community will perceive the Council has
ignored the community’s concern around the removal of parking spaces.
· There is a risk that the project cost could exceed the available
project budget. A mitigation for this risk is that the project will be put to a
competitive tender. If the final project costs still exceed the available
budget, a further mitigation will be to use underspent budgets from other
Transport projects to offset the balance. The staff recommendation in this
report is for the project to only proceed to construction once the Council has
confirmed that adequate budget is available to meet the contracted commitments.
7.2 Should
the Community Board proceed with Option 2:
· There is a risk that many people in the local community may feel
this option still doesn’t retain enough parking.
· This specific option was not included in the original consultation.
If the Community Board decide to proceed with Option 2, staff will inform the
local community and submitters to the original consultation to ensure everyone
is aware of the amended design. Staff will also bring a separate report for the
Community Board to approve the detailed traffic resolutions for this option.
· The reduced number of safe pedestrian crossing points on Glandovey
Rd and Idris Road means this option will not provide the full safety benefits
to pedestrians and cyclists that are provided by Option 1.
· The reduced number of pedestrian crossing points on Glandovey Rd and
Idris Road means this option will offer a reduced level of accessibility
improvement than Option 1.
7.3 Should
the Community Board proceed with Option 3:
· This is a community driven project, so no longer proceeding will not
meet community expectations.
· There will be no improvement to pedestrian and cyclist safety and
accessibility.
Legal Considerations Ngā
