Corsair Bay
1. Park Terrace
– Corsair Bay – Cars park on both sides of the road especially in
summer, which may block emergency vehicles passing. Could the road marking be
reviewed.
Staff have developed a
draft scheme plan, see Attachment A. Approximate cost to install
$25,000 +GST.
Charteris Bay
2. Along
Marine Drive – whether 200 metres of missing footpath in Charteris Bay
can be established.
Staff have considered two
options, noting that there are numerous sections of Marine Drive in a similar
situation with no footpath.
These options have been
set out in the Charteris Bay Traffic Safety memorandum to the Board dated May
2024. (See attached plan for proposed No Stopping Restrictions).
Short term option –
Undertake consultation on removing the parking by installing no stopping
lines to provide additional space for pedestrians. Following consultation, a
report would be presented to the Community Board to resolve no stopping
lines, so that the space could be utilised by pedestrians. Signs and markings
would be needed in this situation. Note that there will be subsequent
displacement of parking to other areas, which could be create additional
problems over the current situation.
Long term option –
Install a footpath with kerb and channel utilising LTP funding (if no other
footpath funding exists). Note this is also likely to result in no on-street
parking.
Staff will proceed with
consultation on No Stopping Restrictions on Marine Drive from Andersons Road
up to 401 Marine Drive in Attachment B.
Akaroa
3. Beach Road
– Aylmers Valley to Hempleman Drive pedestrian safety improvements. The
Board has requested that staff review the condition of the seaward grass
verge along Beach Road from the Boat Club to the Yacht Club, which is a
popular walking route frequently used by locals and tourists. The road is
narrow and the grass often long and difficult to walk through, causing safety
concerns when pedestrians walk along the road. Is there a possibility to
provide a safe walking space for pedestrians.
A memo
will be presented to the Board shortly. This section of road has been reduced
to 30km/h a few years ago to support people walking along the roadway. Staff
have produced a few options and undertaken cost estimates:
1. Option
1 – Marked pedestrian walkway - $4,000 +GST (Attachment C)
2. Option
2 – Marked pedestrian walkway along seawall side with speed humps -
$34,000 +GST (Attachment D).
3. Option
3 – Marked pedestrian walkway along land side with speed humps -
$91,000 +GST (Attachment E).
4. Option
4 – Do nothing / status quo.
Staff recommended Option
1 as it helps to support the existing desire line to access the lighthouse.
Governors Bay
4. Establish
a treatment plan at the intersection of Main Road, Governors Bay Road, and
Dyers Pass Road to make it difficult for anti-social behaviours to perform
burnouts at that intersection.
Three options have been
considered by staff previously. The proposed treatment at the Dyers Pass
Road / Governors Bay Road / Main Road intersection also includes a pedestrian
crossing improvement at the Main Road/Zephyr Terrace intersection.
1. Option
1 – Retaining wall on Zephyr Tce west side (Attachment F).
Potential to be expensive to build.
2. Option
2 – In-lane bus stop proposal (Attachment G). Bus stopping in
lane could delay traffic.
3. Option
3 – Maintain existing bus stop location (Attachment H). Cheaper
to build.
Staff recommend Option 3.
Note that due to geographical terrain left turn traffic out of Zephyr Terrace
will always track over the median or the opposite lane for all 3
options. Cost estimate to be obtained.
Cass Bay Crossing
5. Can
a crossing point on Governors Bay Road to access to Steadfast Reserve be
installed?
Staff are currently undertaking
investigations to identify an appropriate crossing point.
Rāpaki Crossing
6. Establish
a crossing point on Governors Bay Road to access to bus shelter as part of
the LTP.
Staff are currently undertaking
investigations to identify an appropriate crossing point.
Purau Bay
7. Investigate adequate separation
between pedestrians walking on the informal track and traffic on the roadway
on Purau avenue from the Coastal Track to Purau Beach. Refer to memo in
Attachment I.
The Head to Head Working
Party recommended that Te Pātaka o Rākaihautū Banks Peninsula
Community Board approve Option 3: Localised widening of the informal track on
seaward side of Purau Avenue. The cost estimate for Option 3 is $25,000.
Furthermore, the Working
Party notes that this option addresses the area from the Purau Bay Boat Ramp
to the Beach and highlighted its request for the same or similar treatment of
the pathway from the exit of the Coastal track (from Stoddard Point) to the
boat jetty as originally requested on 11 March 2025. Staff to investigate and
report back in due course.
Budget
· There
are approximately $20,000 (±$5,000) available from
our Minor Safety Intervention fund for Banks Peninsula projects this year.
The Board can decide which above projects to proceed so staff can initiate
the consultation.
