3. Executive Summary Te Whakarāpopoto Matua

3.1 Access, safety and parking concerns on Arthur Street have been raised by the community due to activity related to Middleton Grange School. Implementing the recommendations will ease congestion and lead to a reduction in the risk of a crash by improving sightlines for pedestrians and vehicles.

3.2 The recommended option is to install new parking restrictions and revise the existing parking restrictions in accordance with Attachment A.

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

3.4 Options within this report have been assessed against relevant industry-standard design guidance.

4. Background/Context Te Horopaki

4.1 Arthur Street is a local road in Riccarton with approximately 1500 vehicle movements per day.

4.2 Middleton Grange School is a large, combined primary and high school with a roll of around 1500 students. It is a school that serves a wide catchment area, and as a result has a relatively high number of students travelling by private vehicle. It has vehicle and pedestrian accesses on Arthur Street, including a pick up / drop off area.

4.3 Arthur Street has a long history of parking and traffic issues associated with Middleton Grange School activity, in particular at school drop off and pick up times. This has resulted in a number of complaints and infringement notices issued by Council Parking Compliance.

4.4 While there is some frustration from road users related to congestion at peak school times, this does however keep operating speeds relatively low and supports some aspects of safety in Arthur Street.

4.5 Various parking restrictions and parking configurations have previously been implemented in an attempt to improve the situation, with varying degrees of success. The current configuration of parking restrictions is no longer considered to be working effectively, resulting in the current access, parking and safety concerns. The time restricted no stopping restrictions in particular have a poor level of compliance.

4.6 There have been six recorded crashes in the last five years - four crashes at the Arthur Street / Middleton Road intersection, and two at the Arthur Street / Hansons Lane intersection. Arthur Street is classified as having low personal risk and low collective risk at each end, and in the middle section medium personal risk and low medium collective risk under Council’s risk mapping system.

4.7 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).

4.8 The following related briefings/workshops have taken place for the members of the meeting:

Date	Subject
1/2/2024	Arthur Street Traffic & Parking Issues

Options Considered Ngā Kōwhiringa Whaiwhakaaro

4.9 The following options were identified as being reasonably practicable and are assessed in this report:

· Revised Parking Plan

· Consultation Parking Plan

· Do nothing

4.10 The following options were also considered but were not assessed as being reasonably practicable for the reasons outlined below:

· Remove parking permanently on the entire northern side of Arthur Street - this is likely to increase vehicle operating speeds due to reduced side friction, unnecessarily removes parking permanently, and does not provide an option to park on street for eastbound vehicles.

· Remove parking permanently on the entire southern side of Arthur Street - this is likely to increase vehicle operating speeds due to reduced side friction, unnecessarily removes parking permanently, and does not provide an option to park on street for westbound vehicles.

Options Descriptions Ngā Kōwhiringa

4.11 Preferred Option: Revised Parking Plan (Attachment A).

4.11.1 Option Description: Implement parking restriction changes as shown in Attachment A.

4.11.2 Option Advantages

· Improves access and visibility for vehicles at the intersections, and for those travelling along Arthur Street.

· Improves visibility for pedestrians at the intersections and outside Middleton Grange.

· Improves vehicle access for those waiting to enter and exit the School pick up / drop off area.

· Time restricted no stopping restrictions are to only apply on school days instead of the current year-round application, which enables greater on-street parking availability where these restrictions apply.

· Increased signage provision for the time restricted no stopping areas.

· Incorporates community feedback into the revised design.

· Provides an opportunity for short term parking close to the Chinese Consulate on Hansons Lane.

· Permanent no stopping restrictions are more prominent and therefore likely to have a greater level of compliance when compared to the existing time restricted no stopping restrictions.

· Permanent no stopping restrictions can be useful when events in Arthur Street occur outside of peak school activity times.

· Maintains the need for vehicles to yield to each other at some points along Arthur Street at peak school times, which supports lower vehicle operating speeds.

4.11.3 Option Disadvantages

· Cost to implement.

· Permanently reduces on street parking outside some additional properties, however all have off-street parking and parking demand outside of peak school times is low to moderate.

· Reduces on street parking provision overall at peak school times when compared to both the Consultation Plan and the Do Nothing option.

· Retains some of the existing time limited no stopping restrictions which have poor compliance. These may need to be revisited in the future if they continue to have issues.

4.12 Option 2: Consultation Parking Plan (Attachment B).

4.12.1 Option Description: Implement parking restriction changes as shown in Attachment B.

4.12.2 Option Advantages

· Removes all the existing time limited no stopping restrictions which have poor compliance.

· Increases on street parking provision overall at peak school times when compared to both the recommended and do-nothing options. Improves access and visibility for vehicles at the intersections, and for those travelling along Arthur Street.

· Improves visibility for pedestrians at the intersections and outside Middleton Grange.

· Improves vehicle access for those waiting to enter and exit the school pick up / drop off area.

· Provides an opportunity for short term parking close to the Chinese Consulate in Hansons Lane.

· Permanent no stopping restrictions are more prominent and therefore likely to have a greater level of compliance when compared to the existing time restricted no stopping restrictions.

· Permanent no stopping restrictions can be useful when events at the school occur outside of peak school activity times.

· Maintains the need for vehicles to yield to each other at some points along Arthur Street at peak school times, which supports lower vehicle operating speeds.

4.12.3 Option Disadvantages

· Permanently reduces on street parking outside some additional properties, however all have off street parking and parking demand outside of peak school times is low to moderate.

· Does not align with some community views to retain the time limited no stopping restrictions.

4.13 Do Nothing: Status quo remains.

4.13.1 Option Description: No changes to parking restrictions are made.

4.13.2 Option Advantages

· Does not remove additional parking spaces.

· No additional cost beyond this report and Parking Compliance.

4.13.3 Option Disadvantages

· Does not address access, safety and parking issues.

· Likelihood of ongoing parking compliance issues.

Risks and Mitigations Ngā Mōrearea me ngā Whakamātautau

6.1 Not applicable.

Legal Considerations Ngā Hīraunga ā-Ture

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

6.2.1 Part 1, Clause 7 of the Christchurch City Council Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2017 provides Council with the authority to install parking or stopping restrictions by resolution.

6.2.2 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.

6.2.3 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.

6.3.2 This specific report has not been reviewed and approved by the Legal Services Unit however the report has been written using a general approach previously approved of by the Legal Services Unit, and the recommendations are consistent with the policy and legislative framework outlined in this report.

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

6.4.3 The decisions in this report are 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.

6.5 The community engagement and consultation outlined in this report reflect the assessment.

6.6 This report supports the Council's Long Term Plan (2024 - 2034):

6.7 Transport

6.7.1 Activity: Transport

· Level of Service: 10.3.3 Maintain customer perception of the ease of use of Council on- street parking facilities - >=50% resident satisfaction

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

Community Impacts and Views Ngā Mariu ā-Hāpori

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

6.8.1 Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton.

6.9 The Team Leader Parking Compliance supports the preferred option.

6.10 Early engagement with Middleton Grange School and Consulate-General of the People's Republic of China started in February 2024.

6.11 At early meetings, staff shared plans and met on site to discuss how the current street layout was functioning. Middleton Grange School and the Consulate-General of the People's Republic of China were supportive of the consultation plan.

6.12 Middleton Grange School discussed the current functioning of its drop off/pick up area and how this adds to congestion on the street. The school mentioned that it would be open to making further changes to how this area functions, depending on the outcomes of this project.

6.13 Feedback from the Consulate-General of the People's Republic of China influenced the proposed addition of three P60 time restricted parking spaces to assist Consulate visitors.

6.14 Public consultation started on 25 March 2024 and ran until 7 April 2024. An email was sent to 39 key stakeholders, including emergency services, Kainga Ora, Spokes, Central Riccarton Residents Association, and the Ministry of Education. The consultation was shared via the Middleton Grange School newsletter, inviting submissions on the Council’Kōrero mai | Let’s Talk webpage. This page had 397 views throughout the consultation period.

6.15 Consultation documents were delivered to residents on the street on 25 March 2024. Documents were also available in Upper Riccarton Library.

6.16 Late consultation was received from two residents. This included a request for Parking Compliance to issue infringement notices for illegal parking. This site is already visited by Parking Compliance, and Parking Compliance staff are aware of the issues. The other suggestion was to consider implementing a time of day prohibited ‘no right turn’ from Arthur Street into Hansons Lane. This has been considered but it is not recommended. This is due to the cost of an electronic sign, likelihood of poor compliance based on a similar existing situation at the Larsens Road / School Road intersection, the likelihood that vehicles would look to other turning alternatives such as by ‘u turning’ in Arthur St and contributing to further congestion or attempting to turn right at the more difficult Blenheim Road / Middleton Road intersection.

6.17 Following the consultation period, staff had a follow up meeting with Middleton Grange School to discuss updates to the plans based on consultation feedback. The school indicated they would be supportive of the revised plan, but to alter temporary parking signage to display 2.30pm-3.30pm on school days, to increase the presence of the signage, and to investigate whether additional no stopping lines could be implemented outside 33 and 35 Arthur Street.

6.18 Additional consultation was undertaken with the owners and occupiers of 33 and 35 Arthur Street on a proposed extension of the permanent no stopping restrictions outside these properties. No responses were received.

6.19 The school also had questions about directing people to park at Middleton Park, removing trees for driver visibility on school property, how to best advocate for changes to Acacia Street parking, a Suva Street pedestrian crossing, and whether a public path through the school could become school property. These have been investigated as part of separate processes.

Summary of Submissions Ngā Tāpaetanga

6.20 Submissions were made by five recognised organisations and 49 individuals. Of the 54 total submissions, 43 submissions were made online in Let’s Talk, and 11 were via email or phone call. All submissions are available in Attachment C.

Impact on Mana Whenua Ngā Whai Take Mana Whenua

6.29 The decisions do 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.

6.30 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 proposal 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 access and safety concerns at this location. Due to the minor nature of the works, it is not intended to have any impact on climate change.

7. Next Steps Ngā Mahinga ā-muri

7.1 If approved, staff will arrange for signage and road marking changes to be made.

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

4.1 Our Play Spaces Network Plan for Ōtautahi Christchurch

A plan for the future of play spaces in the city, ‘Our Play Spaces Network Plan for Ōtautahi Christchurch’, is being developed (see Attachment B). This network plan follows other similar parks planning documents including our Urban Forest Plan and our Sports Field Network Plan. The plan will set out a framework for the distribution of play spaces and prioritising the provision or acquisition, renewal, improvement, management, and in some limited cases decommissioning of the city’s play space assets.

There will be early engagement to seek feedback on distribution, location, and hierarchy of play spaces, and the location of inclusive and accessible play spaces. This will occur through workshops facilitated in each Community Board area and with key target audience/s and populations including tamariki, rangatahi, access and inclusion, multi-cultural, mana whenua, pasifika and older adults which will inform the development of the draft plan. It is planned to hold a Community Workshop on 22 August 2024. Board members have been invited to attend the workshop to provide feedback and hear from local groups who advocate for play.

The workshops coincide with a play spaces survey on Kōrero mai/Let’s talk in August 2024. The gathered information will inform the Draft Play Spaces Network Plan which will be shared with the Council in November/December 2024.

If approved the draft plan will be released for formal consultation during February/March 2025 to check ‘have we got it right?’. After the formal engagement the Draft Plan will be considered by a hearings panel in July 2025 followed by Council consideration of approval of the plan in August 2025.

4.2 Upper Riccarton - Road safety improvements

A start work notice has been distributed for installation of safety improvements at intersections and crossing points in Upper Riccarton (see Attachment C). The work will be on intersections and crossing points, including Waimairi Road, near the Bush Inn entrance. Work commences on Wednesday 7 August 2024 and continues until mid-October 2024 and will be undertaken at night (Sunday to Friday between 9pm and 6am, weather/site condition dependent).

The following changes will be made:

· Installation of safe speed platforms on the approaches to the Riccarton Road/Hansons Lane/Waimairi Road intersection.

· Removal of the slip lane from Riccarton Road onto Waimairi Road.

· Addition of a new signalised crossing on Waimairi Road, outside the Bush Inn Centre.

· Addition of cycle lanes on Waimairi Road (between Riccarton Road and Bowen Street) and making changes to the bus stop and parking markings.

· Installation of speed humps on Angela Street, Brake Street, Leslie Street and Bowen Street.

· Installation of a pedestrian refuge island on Yaldhurst Road close to the intersection with Brake Street.

Removal of the left turn slip lane from Main South Road into Curletts Road and provision of a left turn lane at the signals.

A number of traffic management layouts will be implemented during the work. There will be a variation of road closures, shoulder closures, lane drops and temporary on-street parking removal. Pedestrian access will be maintained at all times.

Options for improving the safety of the Main South and Yaldhurst/Riccarton Intersection were presented to the Council at an Information Session/Workshop on 6 August 2024. A report with recommendations is currently scheduled to go the Council meeting on 21 August 2024 for a decision.
