1. Receives the information in the Bishop Street - Proposed P120 Parking Restrictions 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.

4. Approves that, in accordance with Clause 7 of the Christchurch City Council Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2017, the parking of all vehicles be restricted to a maximum period of 120 minutes on the eastern side of Bishop Street, commencing at a point 30.5 metres north of its intersection with Bealey Avenue and extending in a northerly direction for a distance of 101 metres as shown on Attachment A, plan TG148370, Issue 2, dated 23/10/2024. The restriction is to apply Monday to Friday.

3. Executive Summary Te Whakarāpopoto Matua

3.1 A resident has requested that timed parking be provided on a section of Bishop Street between Bealey Avenue and Purchas Street.

3.2 The aim of the recommended option is to support higher turnover of the available road space. This means more people can benefit from using the space at different times of the day, and on different days of the week. This is generally preferable to a single vehicle using a single space all day to the exclusion of everyone else.

3.3 There are high parking demands in this area meaning these spaces are often occupied by long term parking.

3.4 Bishop Street meets the requirements of Councils Suburban Parking Policy for investigation of time restricted parking options.

3.5 The recommended option is to install the P120 time restricted parking spaces as shown on Attachment A.

4. Background/Context Te Horopaki

4.1 Bishop Street is a two-way local street and parking is unrestricted.

4.2 This section of Bishop Street is located just to the north of Bealey Avenue. This is a suburban area where there is an increasing and high demand for parking from residents, businesses and commuters.

4.3 Christchurch City Council’s Suburban Parking Policy provides criteria to assess areas of high parking demand. High demand is defined as areas where occupancy of on-street parking regularly exceeds 75%. For residential zones, the policy states that time restrictions can be applied to sections of the street (approximately 25% – 50%).

4.4 Staff have carried out four site visits to assess the parking occupancy at varying times of the day on weekdays. On all four visits, parking occupancy exceeded the 75% threshold noted above.

4.5 There are approximately 47 unrestricted parking spaces on the section of Bishop Street between Bealey Avenue and Purchas Street. We are proposing to time restrict 11 spaces to two hours, Monday to Friday, as shown on Attachment A. This is less than the recommended lower limit of 25% in the Suburban Parking Policy recommended criteria and would leave 36 unrestricted spaces.

4.6 Thirteen townhouses have recently been constructed on three land parcels; 15, 17 and 19 Bishop Street, on the opposite side of the road to where it is proposed to install the P120 time restriction. These units have off-street parking, however there is likely to be an increase in the number of residents vehicles parking in the immediate vicinity.

4.7 Timed parking restrictions are enforceable between 8am and 6pm, and it is proposed to restrict these spaces Monday to Friday only. These spaces will therefore be available for unrestricted parking out of these hours i.e. between 4pm and 10am on weekdays when considering the allowable two hours, and at all times on weekends.

4.8 Following a recent review, Council is not currently considering introducing any new residential exemption permit schemes. The review assessed whether residential parking permit exemption areas could be practically implemented under current Council parking policies. This work identified that there are currently a number of barriers to implementing residential parking permit exemption areas. These barriers include:

· The policies are complex to implement.

· Council staff lack resourcing and tools to assess permit area suitability and process permit applications.

· Some key sections of the policies are unclear, mainly who is eligible.

· Permit pricing needs to be reviewed to ensure it is set at a cost recovery level.

Council will consider if residential parking permit exemption areas should be included in Council parking policies when these are next reviewed. However, we do not currently have a date for when this will be completed.

4.9 Consultation feedback is provided in Section 6.7.

4.10 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)

Strategy and Policy Considerations Te Whai Kaupapa here

6.4 The required decision:

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

6.6 Transport

6.6.1 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

Community Impacts and Views Ngā Mariu ā-Hāpori

6.7 The initial request for Staff to investigate timed parking restrictions was initiated by a resident.

6.8 The recommended option was initially sent to the residents and property owners on both sides of the section of Bishop Street adjacent to where we are proposing the restrictions.

6.9 Ten responses were received on the proposal; four in support, four opposed and two stating they had no objection. Staff comments are provided in italics under the feedback provided.

6.10 The main points from those in support:

· That commuter parking was reducing the ability for residents to park on the street during the week.

· That it was difficult for visitors to find a parking space during these times.

· That the proposals would improve the lives of the people on the street.

· That they agreed in general with the proposal but thought a P180 would work better. Council does not use three-hour time restrictions as the compliance team find these are harder to enforce.

· General approval but were concerned about the impact the new town houses would have on available parking.

6.11 The main points from those opposed were:

· That the proposals would reduce parking space for residents and put pressure on existing spaces, especially when the townhouses being constructed are completed.

· That the street was too far out of town and away from commercial areas to warrant the time restriction.

· Unfair to change the on-street restrictions with the new housing about to be completed at 15, 17 and 19 Bishop Street.

· Unfair to hospital workers who park on the street and walk to work.

· Proposal would only benefit residents who have short term visitors, and they were not aware of any residents who regularly had short stay visitors during the week.

· That parking exemption permits should be made available for residents. See Section 4.8 of the report.

· That we should apply smaller areas of time restrictions along the whole street. Parking enforcement prefer parking restrictions to be in blocks as they are easier to enforce. Having them in blocks also reduces the number of signs and markings that are required.

· That the proposals would lead to increased pressure and cause more aggressive and chaotic parking behaviours.

· That a broader consideration of the overall parking landscape should be considered.

6.12 The initial consultation documentation went out before the completion of the thirteen townhouses 15, 17 and 19 Bishop Street. Following comments from the first round of consultation and at the request of the Community Board, consultation was undertaken with 19 property owners and residents of the new town houses in February 2025.

6.13 We received four responses to this proposal; two in support and two offering comments but neither stating they were either in support or opposed.

6.14 The main points from those in support:

· With the increase of multi dwelling houses with shared driveways, on street parking has become difficult for those homeowners with more than one car or for visitors.

· It is apparent that from early morning on street parking fills up with city workers taking advantage of free parking.

· Further consideration should be given to providing restrictions on the western side of the street.

6.15 Further comments made were:

· Understood the need for action, as the street is often full of cars during business hours. This clearly indicates that workers from nearby offices or hospitals are using these spaces for free parking. However, there are no parking issues during weekends or outside business hours, which further highlights the nature of the problem.

· Concerned residents of Bishop Street would be unfairly penalised. Workers will likely continue parking in unrestricted areas, making it even harder for residents or their visitors to find parking.

· Would like Residents Parking Permits to be made available to enable residents to park in restricted areas.

6.16 The recommended option is to provide the P120, Monday to Friday, time restricted parking spaces as shown on Attachment A.

6.17 The Team Leader Parking Compliance supports the preferred option.

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

· Waipapa Papanui-Innes-Central.

Impact on Mana Whenua Ngā Whai Take Mana Whenua

6.19 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.

6.20 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.

6.17 This is a minor proposal that is principally intended to address parking space availability in 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 new signs and road markings to be installed.

1. Purpose and Origin of the Report Te Uptake Pūrongo

1.1 For the Waipapa Papanui-Innes-Central Community Board to approve proposed bus stop upgrades within its area, and to make recommendations to Council for the proposed bus stop upgrades that rest with the Council for decision making.

1.2 The report originates from staff investigations to install the remaining bus stop shelters from the Linwood Bus Stop Improvement Project at well-used bus stops.

1.3 Staff are seeking this decision to achieve the best value for money, and improvements in public transport outcomes. There is a risk in delaying shelter installation, as this could result in additional storage costs.

3. Executive Summary Te Whakarāpopoto Matua

3.1 Staff propose enhancements at 23 well-used bus stops within the Waipapa Papanui-Innes-Central Community Board area.

3.2 The planned improvements consist of installing 23 new shelters, accommodating approximately 800 passengers daily. The number of boardings per bus stop are listed in Attachment B.

3.3 The plans will improve accessibility and bus waiting areas by providing hardstand areas, tactile pavers, seating, new bus stops, and bus stop relocations. Standard line markings will also be provided to allow the bus to be able to access and egress the bus stop easily and safely.

3.4 The construction of this project will be funded by Public Transport Futures programme (CPMS 78850). Construction is expected to be completed by the end of 2025 calendar year.

4. Background/Context Te Horopaki

4.1 At the 11 December 2024 Council meeting (Minutes, Item 11), the Council approved the installation of the remaining bus stop shelters from the Linwood Bus Stop Improvement Project at well-used bus stops across the Linwood, Central, Eastern, Northeast, and Southeast suburbs of Christchurch.

4.2 Funding from the New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) Waka Kotahi will cover the purchase of the shelters and the Council will be responsible for the installation expenses (i.e. investigation, design, and construction).

4.3 According to the funding agreement with the NZTA Waka Kotahi the shelters must be purchased before the end of June 2025. Staff will work to install the shelters by June 2025. However, if some shelters are not installed by that time, they must be purchased and stored, otherwise Council will lose the funding to buy the shelters. Storing the shelters could incur costs for Council (additional storage costs).

4.4 Staff define a bus stop as “well-used” if it serves about 20 or more passengers daily, which is the established traditional threshold by Council for installing a shelter.

4.5 The planned improvements involve installing 23 new shelters, accommodating approximately 800 passengers daily. These bus stops are listed in Attachment B. Six of the shelters are within the Plan A area and require resolution by the Council.

4.6 Figure 1 presents an example of the shelters installed at Linwood Village. The shelters that are part of this project will have a width of 1 metre, similar to the photograph below. If necessary to meet minimum footpath width requirements, a slimline shelter, which is 0.5 metres in width, will be installed instead.

Figure 1: Shelter installed at Linwood Village.

4.7 The anticipated impact on on-street parking is minimal, as the upgrades primarily involve adding shelters to existing bus stops.

4.8 The proposed upgrade for bus stop 13310 outside 51 North Parade, which includes standard line marking and a new seat, originated from a community request. These upgrades have been consulted on and are included in this report to reduce consultation and reporting costs.

4.9 Staff note that the existing layout of Rolleston Avenue may only remain in place during the Canterbury Museum redevelopment. However, staff propose to install a shelter at bus stop 53185, located outside 33E Rolleston Avenue. This suggestion follows multiple community requests for a shelter at this stop. The presence of the concrete island at the location negates the need for a concrete slab, simplifying the installation process and making the upgrade cheaper. Accordingly, should the layout change in the future, the shelter can be easily unbolted and relocated.

4.10 A plan has been developed by staff for the shelter installation at bus stop 53251 outside 77 Ferry Road. However, following feedback from affected residents, staff have deferred this shelter installation for further investigation.

4.11 The proposed relocation of bus stop 36901 outside 116 Aldwins Road moves it to within the Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board area. As a result, the officer recommendations in this report solely include the removal of this bus stop. The proposed upgrades will be presented to the Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board for approval.

4.12 The following related memos/information were circulated to the meeting members:

Options Considered Ngā Kōwhiringa Whaiwhakaaro

4.13 The primary objective of this project is to install bus shelters at well-used bus stops. Staff have considered other changes, including bus stop relocation, standard bus stop layout markings, provision of hardstand areas, and installing tactile pavers, which were identified as necessary to meet the Council’s standard for bus stops.

4.14 Additionally, measures such as green surface treatment, stop and give-way controls, and no-passing lines have been included to enhance the safety of all road users.

4.15 The options assessment table (Attachment D) presents the preferred option for each bus stop alongside other options considered but that were not assessed as being reasonably practicable. Please note the following points when reading the table.

· The table outlines only the key upgrades in the preferred option, such as shelter installations, additional no stopping restrictions, and bus stop relocations. Upgrades that have minimal impact on residents, such as tactile pavers, hardstand areas, and green surface treatments, are excluded.

· The table includes only the points specific to each bus stop. The general advantages and disadvantages, which apply to all bus stops, are discussed below but are not repeated in the table.

o For bus stops where there have been no operational or safety issues raised, relocation has not been considered an option.

o The installation of a shelter at each bus stop will provide weather protection for passengers. It will lead to increased maintenance and cleaning costs for the Council.

o The Do-nothing option was considered alongside the preferred option for each bus stop. The main advantage to the do-nothing option is that the Council would incur no costs. However, the key disadvantage is that none of the targeted improvements would be realised. Additionally, the delay in installation of the shelters could lead to additional storage costs.

· The standard bus stop line marking layout consists of 12 metres of no stopping restrictions, followed by a 14-metre bus stop, and an additional 6 metres of no-stopping restrictions. This layout enables the optimum access for bus drivers by allowing them to easily pull into and out of the bus stop. It also improves boarding/departing conditions for passengers by making sure the bus is parallel to the kerb. This is important for elderly people, children, and visually and mobility impaired passengers.

· For bus stops where the bus stop line marking layout upgrades are proposed, the installation of a shelter, without altering/providing line markings, was considered but was not assessed as being reasonably practicable for the following reasons:

o The standard bus stop line marking layout improves access for bus drivers into and out of the bus stops by minimising the likelihood of cars parking too close to the bus stop, which makes manoeuvring difficult.

o As these are well-used bus stops, it is likely staff will receive future requests from the community or bus operators for the standard bus line marking layout. Therefore, considering these upgrades alongside the shelter installation provides better value for money by avoiding multiple projects at the same bus stop.

o The changes are minor, and the resulting loss of on-street parking is minimal.

5. Financial Implications Ngā Hīraunga Rauemi

5.1 The estimated costs for the recommended option and the do-nothing option are provided in the table below.

5.2 The implementation costs in the table below include the expenses for construction of bus stop upgrades to install the shelters. NZTA Waka Kotahi funds the purchase of the shelters.

5.3 Maintenance/Ongoing costs - The Transport Unit Operational Expenditure budgets include maintenance of bus stop infrastructure.

5.4 Increased maintenance costs will be allowed for as part of future Long-Term Plan and Annual Plan processes. Budget will be required from year two.

6. Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro

Risks and Mitigations Ngā Mōrearea me ngā Whakamātautau

6.1 If the Community Board selects the do-nothing option, none of the improvements highlighted in the options table will be achieved. This not only includes the benefits of shelter installations but also opportunities to enhance public transport accessibility and safety.

6.2 If the Community Board selects the do-nothing option, the associated risk in delaying shelter installation is that additional storage costs could occur. As per the funding agreement between NZTA Waka Kotahi and CCC, the shelters must be purchased by June 2025. A delay in installation will lead to extra storage costs, as detailed in the Capex/Opex table above.

6.3 If the Community Board selects the do-nothing option, the shelters will be considered for other bus stops locations potentially outside of this Community Board area. This is a notable risk as staff observations have determined that many of well-used bus stops within this Community Board area have a lower level of service than those across other parts of Christchurch and require upgrades to meet the standard. Opting for "Do-nothing" would result in a missed opportunity to improve these bus stops and the experience of people using public transport system. This could also increase the chance of receiving push back from community.

Legal Considerations Ngā Hīraunga ā-Ture

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

6.4.1 The relevant Community Board or Committee 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 resolutions of:

Community Impacts and Views Ngā Mariu ā-Hāpori

6.9 Early engagement with ECan took place during the design stage through multiple in-person meetings. Staff have considered ECan's comments, and ECan are supportive of all the plans.

6.10 Consultation started on 10 February and ran until 5 March 2025. Consultation details including links to the project information shared on the Kōrero mai | Let’s Talk webpage were advertised on 10 February 2025 via:

6.10.1 An email sent to 65 key stakeholders, including schools and businesses impacted by plans, emergency services, AA, Disabled Persons Assembly, Orion and Chorus, Spokes, Greater Ōtautahi, Generation Zero, Environment Canterbury’s Accessibility Reference Group (ARG) and Environment Canterbury’s Public Transport Stakeholder Reference Group (PTSRG).

6.10.2 Consultation documents that included plans and a summary of improvements delivered to 105 residents and absentee owners.

6.11 The Kōrero mai | Let’s Talk webpage had 123 views throughout the consultation period.

6.12 Orion had several queries on specific plans regarding the alignment with cables and minimum approach distances to overhead services with shelters.

6.12.1 Staff response: For each site, our contractor will conduct an underground service assessment, and appropriate actions will be taken. For sites with specific requirements, we will collaborate with service providers to ensure all aspects are addressed. Additionally, staff have worked on new types of foundations for shelters facilitate easier access to underground services for service providers.

6.17 A plan has been developed by staff for the shelter installation at bus stop 53251 outside 77 Ferry Road. However, following feedback from affected residents, staff have deferred this shelter installation for further investigation.

6.18 Some submitters have suggested alternative locations for proposed bus stop upgrades, the options assessment table presents why those options were considered but were not considered to be reasonably practicable options.

6.19 In the case where a submission included a question (e.g. shelter specifications, patronage of the bus stop, etc), staff have answered those through an email back to submitters.

6.20 In response to the feedback, staff provide answers to common concerns raised by submitters:

6.21 On-street parking loss

Staff response: Kerbside spaces are limited and need to be considered for all road users, particularly for public transport, which is an essential transport mode for many individuals such as those with disabilities, elderly people, and children and youth. It is important to note that the Council’s Suburban Car Parking Policy prioritises the use of kerbside spaces for bus stops over other types of parking. It’s also worth noting that existing bus stops, even if not marked, already require 12 metres of no stopping restrictions. To make sure that buses can safely pull in and stop close and parallel to kerb, both CCC and NZTA standards now require a 14-metre bus box with 12 metres and 6 metres no stopping restrictions before and after the bus box.

6.22 Driveway interruption

Staff response: Avoiding marking bus stops at driveways is usually the preferred method. However, in a few cases, due to the limited spacing between driveways or to avoid removing a healthy tree, it may be that the bus stop marking interrupts a driveway. It is worth noting that buses will be there only a few times per day and each time for a short period (e.g., 30 seconds). Therefore, we do not expect any safety or operational issues to arise. Additionally, there are many similar situations around Christchurch that have been operating without any issues.

6.23 Bus shelter will block the sightline/ obstruct our window / is an unpleasant view

Staff response: It is important to note that the design of the new generation of bus shelters in Christchurch is modern, featuring a combination of metal and toughened glass elements, as shown in the figure below. The glass walls ensure that the shelter has minimal impact on sightlines and obstructing views.

Although staff have tried to place the shelters in locations that minimise effects on residents, the needs of public transport users must also be considered. These individuals may need to wait for buses in severe weather conditions, sometimes for long periods. They could include elderly people, children, and those with disabilities. The primary function of a shelter is to provide weather protection and a place for these individuals to wait.

6.24 Privacy, vandalism, and graffiti

Staff response: Vandalism, privacy issues, and graffiti may occasionally occur at some bus stops, but they are not widespread issues across Christchurch. Should such an incident arise, the police can be contacted, as this behaviour is unacceptable. In the case of graffiti, the relevant Council team will address the issue.

Furthermore, the shelters are being installed at existing, well-used bus stops. This means the concerns mentioned may already exist at these locations, and the addition of a shelter will not significantly increase the likelihood of such incidents.

6.25 Fence/hedge

Staff response: We will ensure that the shelter is installed as recommended in the relevant guides. CCC will not be responsible for maintaining the hedge or fencing as the proposed plans do not affect them.

6.26 Requests for bins

Staff response: The Maintenance team handles bin installations. We will pass these requests on to them for review.

6.27 Bus stop affecting the property value

Staff response: Staff have not found any evidence that a bus stop or shelter beside a property result in property value reduction.

Impact on Mana Whenua Ngā Whai Take Mana Whenua

6.28 The decisions do not involve a significant decision in relation to ancestral land, a body of water or other elements of intrinsic value, therefore these decisions do not specifically impact Mana Whenua, their culture, and traditions.

6.29 The decisions do 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

6.30 The proposals in this report are unlikely to contribute significantly to adaptation to the impacts of climate change or emissions reductions. However, providing shelters along with other bus stop upgrades will enhance public transport user satisfaction and encourage more people to use public transport.

7. Next Steps Ngā Mahinga ā-muri

7.1 Once recommendation approved, staff will engage with contractors to proceed with construction.

1. Purpose and Origin of the Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo

1.1 For the Waipapa Papanui-Innes-Central Community Board to change the existing seven P30 time-restricted parking spaces on the north side of Westminster Street, east of its intersection with Cranford Street, to P60 time-restricted parking spaces.

1.2 The report responds to a request from a local business seeking more or longer-term parking options near the Cranford Street/Westminster Street intersection.

1.3 The recommended option is to change the existing P30 time-restricted parking spaces to P60 as shown in Attachment A.

2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu

That the Waipapa Papanui-Innes-Central Community Board:

1. Receives the information in the Westminster Street - Proposed Parking Restrictions Change 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. Revokes any previous resolutions pertaining to traffic controls made pursuant to any bylaw to the extent that they are in conflict with the traffic controls described in resolutions 4 to 8 below.

4. Approves that, in accordance with Clause 7 of the Christchurch City Council Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2017, the parking of all vehicles be restricted to a maximum period of 60 minutes on the north-eastern side of Westminster Street, commencing at a point 12 metres north-east of its intersection with Cranford Street and extending in a north-easterly direction for a distance of 45.5 metres as shown on plan TG150181, Issue 2, dated 21 March 2025 as shown on Attachment A.

3. Executive Summary Te Whakarāpopoto Matua

3.1 A business owner near the Cranford Street/Westminster Street intersection has requested additional or longer-term parking to better support their business.

3.2 Due to proximity constraints to the intersection, adding new parking spaces is not feasible.

3.3 The recommended option is to convert the existing P30 spaces on the northeast side of Westminster Street to P60 to provide longer-term parking without significantly reducing turnover.

4. Background/Context Te Horopaki

4.1 During public consultation in August 2024 for the Cranford Street Options between Innes Road and Berwick Street project, the project team received feedback from the business owner at No. 2/95 Westminster Street regarding insufficient parking outside their business.

4.2 Further feedback from the business owner at No. 2/95 Westminster Street was received in November 2024 through a Community Board elected member, reiterating concerns about parking availability and time restrictions.

4.3 The business opened in late June 2024 with its main entrance facing Cranford Street. A no-stopping zone has been in place on Cranford Street since early 2021, extending 65 metres from the intersection to accommodate two-lane approaches to the Cranford Street / Westminster Street intersection.

4.4 Due to the business’s proximity to the intersection (approximately ten metres north of the limit line on Cranford Street) it is not feasible to provide on-street parking directly outside the business. Staff therefore proposed to investigate whether the existing time restrictions on Westminster Street could be changed to suit local business needs better.

4.5 Separately, a submission was received during the public consultation in August 2024 from a business owner on the west side of Cranford Street, also raising concerns about lost parking. The Council approved Cranford Street Bus Lane option in December 2024 does not remove any existing parking outside businesses on the west side of Cranford Street. Additionally, the project will introduce six new parking spaces outside No. 173–181 Cranford Street, available outside PM bus lane operation hours (4 to 6 PM).

4.6 Once the bus lane is implemented in April/May 2025, approximately 54 on-street parking spaces will be available within a 150-metre walking distance (approximately two minutes five seconds at a walking speed of 1.2 m/s) from the Cranford Street/Westminster Street intersection, as shown in Table 1 below.

Moorhouse Avenue is one of Christchurch's busiest transport corridors, with approximately 24,000 vehicles passing through each day. It is also a key route for pedestrians and cyclists traveling to and from the central city.
