5.2      Takaro Avenue traffic issues and Sockburn Park

Luke Chandler, local resident, spoke to the Board regarding traffic issues on Takaro Avenue which is busy and heavily used for parking by students attending nearby St Thomas of Canterbury College. Mr Chandler has raised his concerns with the local traffic engineer and would like to see a mirror installed to aid visibility and possibly the installation of traffic calming measures.

Mr Chandler reminded the Board that the disused toddlers’ pool has yet to be removed from Sockburn Park and there is currently no plan for revitalisation of the park.

Following questions from members the Chairperson thanked Mr Chandler for his presentation.

Part B

That the Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board:

1.         Refers the issues raised in the public forum presentation regarding traffic issues on Takaro Avenue to staff for investigation and requests that staff provide advice on possible measures to improve safety on Takaro Avenue including the installation of a mirror to aid visibility.

5.3      Traffic safety concerns, Hornby

Ross Houliston, representative of the Greater Hornby Residents' Association, spoke to the Board regarding a number of the Association’s traffic safety concerns in Hornby. These concerns include:

·         The lack of traffic matrix at each end of Tower Street.

·         The lack of a continuous footpath on the northern side Main North  South Road from Carmen Road to Springs Road.

·         The lack of traffic safety measures (including pedestrian safety) in the vicinity of the intersection of Waterloo and Gilberthorpes Roads.

·         The traffic system in Amyes Road lacks signals at Shands Road and control at Springs Road.

The Association is concerned about cycleways in the area that it considers lack cohesion, particularly in relation to new developments currently underway and those planned for the future. In the Association’s view, the condition of Hei Hei Road following construction of the cycleway is worse than previously with raised manholes and a deep gutter on the west side of the road. It was noted that vehicles frequently stop in the road to allow passengers to alight at the school, childcare centre and the church, creating a safety issue.

Following questions from members the Chairperson thanked Mr Houliston for his presentation.

6.1      Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board Area Report - November 2022

Local resident Mike Mora spoke regarding clauses 4.1 - Halswell Junction Road Signage and 4.3 - Waterloo Road and Gilberthorpes Road – Proposal for Parking Restrictions of Agenda Item 10.

Mr Mora indicated that he does not agree with the advice that the directional signage on Halswell Junction Road complies with the necessary standards and he is frustrated that the meeting with Waka Kotahi requested by the Board to discuss the matter did not happen.

Mr Mora further advised that he considers that the staff advice provided on the Greater Hornby Residents’ Association proposal for parking restrictions on Waterloo and Gilberthorpes Roads is unsatisfactory and that he considers that the conversion of Moffett Street into a cul-de-sac as part of the South Express Major Cycle Route project may make matters worse.

Following questions from members, the Chairperson thanked Mr Mora for his presentation.

Item 10 of these minutes refers.
