The prayer of the petition states:
The residents in this immediate area call on the Christchurch City Council to install permanent traffic calming measures along Awatea Gardens, between the Mustang Ave roundabout and Awatea Road, to prevent the excessive speeding which is a regular hazard on this residential street. We should not feel unsafe in our community due to dangerous drivers in a residential environment. We are aware of at least 4 pets that have recently been killed on Awatea Gardens and are fearful the next victim will be a person.
Multiple near misses have been observed including children on bicycles/scooters, pedestrians crossing the street, vehicles exiting Clematis Place and cars exiting driveways.
The existing 40kph signs are ineffective and not slowing down many drivers. A more effective, permanent solution is needed.
Numerous incidents of dangerous driving in Wigram have been reported to the Police with no action taken. Following questions from members, the Chairperson thanked Mr Simms for his presentation. |
