5. Deputations by Appointment Ngā Huinga Whakaritenga

Part B

5.1 Relocation of bus stop 38215 at 59 Amyes Road Report

Lu Liu, local resident, addressed the Board regarding the proposed Relocation of bus stop 38215 at 59 Amyes Road Report (Item 9 of these Minutes refers).

Ms Liu noted that the reason for relocation of the bus stop is because a new driveway is being installed at 59 Amyes Road and to avoid the risk of conflict between buses and vehicles using the driveway. Ms Liu considers that the proposed relocation will only transfer the risk of vehicle conflict to the driveway of her property at 57a Amyes Road noting that both young and elderly residents live there, creating additional risk.

After questions from members, the Chairperson thanked Ms Liu for her presentation.

9. Relocation of bus stop 38215 at 59 Amyes Road

Board Comment

Staff in attendance spoke to the accompanying report.

The Board also took into consideration the deputation from Lu Liu (Item 5.1 of these minutes refers).
