Community Board Information Session/Workshop Notes
The Transport
Network Planner and Team Leader Asset Planning spoke to the attached
presentation on the way forward for the Northcote Road Pedestrian and Cycle
Facilities Investigations, providing an update to the Board on their review
of the road safety issues on the Northcote Road corridor.
Staff addressed the Board’s questions, including in relation
to:
·
Raised pedestrian crossings completed by
Foodstuffs under the supervision of NZTA.
·
The Better Off funding for the investigations
covering the next two steps, i.e. feasibility investigation and scheme
design, and reporting back to the Board.
·
The purchase of a one metre strip off the
front of four properties required, which may in practice require the purchase
of the five metre designation strip.
·
The possibility of a staged approach to the
project.
·
The ballpark $1.5m estimate of the capital
funding that would be need to be secured to progress the project, with caveat
that the property purchases required could have significant cost impact.
·
Staff have looked at the wider area
strategically, but the proximity of the colleges focuses the investigations
back on this corridor.
·
The sufficiency of the Better Off funding for
the investigation of the recommended option, while it would be insufficient
for an alternative on-road option.
·
Applying a lens to the project that takes
account of early stakeholder engagement.
·
The historic background to the designation on
the frontage of properties on the corridor, and checking its
duration/rollover would support the project.
