Items of
interest include:
1. Realignment
of Wigram Road
This project is a Resource Consent
condition for the development at 448 Wigram Road, which will connect Bill
Harvey Drive to Wigram Road. The development creates an opportunity for
Council to realign the current sharp bend and create a much-enhanced road
environment. The Developer will deliver the project to service its
development and at the same time deliver the improvement to the road network.
On completion, the realigned carriageway
on Wigram Road will be marked to include on-road cycle lanes from Halswell
Junction Road to Carrs Reserve.
Formal approval of regulatory road
markings, including the declaring of the special on-road cycle lanes and an
accompanying shared path will be required. This will be presented to the
Board at a later date.

2. Kennedys Bush Road Upgrade
A section of road between Cashmere Road
and the Quarry Park entrance is required to be upgraded. The scheme plan is
shown on Attachment C. The upgraded road will accommodate 3.2m vehicle
lanes in each direction, with on-road cycle lanes. Traffic control measures
will also be constructed to manage vehicle speeds and create a safer road
environment. These traffic measures include platforms at the intersection of
Kennedys Bush Road with the Quarry access, the intersection with the proposed
new subdivision road, and at the new pedestrian refuges.
The frontage upgrades alongside Oakvale
Farm on the western side of Kennedys Bush Road is a resource consent
condition. The extent of the work required provides Council the opportunity
to upgrade the remaining section of the road as described above and also
includes the forming of on-road, indented car parking spaces. This work also
includes the drainage control of road runoff.
Formal approval of regulatory road
markings, including the declaration of on road cycle lanes and the shared
path from Glovers Road and Quarry Park Entrance will be required. This will
be presented to the Board at a later date.
3. Sparks Road Upgrade between McCartney and
Traffic Lights by Milns Drain
This upgrade project will be delivered in
partnership with 5 developers, with frontage upgrades forming a condition of
each development. The Sparks Road area plan is shown in Attachment D.
There were challenges to develop a scheme
that could accommodate all the elements of a minor arterial road, due to the
constraints caused by Connal Drain being within the road corridor. Staff were
involved in prolonged discussions with stakeholders, and the final design
outcome has been agreed with respective developers for the delivery.
The upgrade also includes the relocation
of the existing Milns and Sparks intersection, which the Community Board has
been briefed on previously. The intersection relocation is a condition for
the development at 179 Milns Road.
The road upgrades will consist of cycle
lanes, traffic median, shared paths and pedestrian refuges.
An upgrade of Milns Road is also included
in this project, including the construction of a footpath on the eastern side
to connect Milns Drain to the path outside the retirement village. Milns Road
upgrades are shown on Attachment E.
Formal approval of regulatory road
markings, including the declaring of the special on-road cycle lanes and
shared path will be required. This will be presented to the Board at a later
date.
4. Quaifes Road Upgrade between Murphy
Road and Sabys Road
There has been significant work along
Quaifes Road over the last 5 years, with developments carried out by various
stakeholders. This has included installation underground infrastructure to
service these developments.
The developer of 63 Quaifes Road will
realign a section of Quaifes Road, connecting to Candys Road in accordance
with the Outline Development Plan for the area. A high-level plan of the
Quaifes / Sabys / Candys Road changes is shown in Attachment F.
Formal approval of regulatory signs and
road markings will be required. This will be presented to the Board at a
later date.
