8. Somme Street - Proposed P3 Parking Restrictions
Reference Te Tohutoro:	24/1365607
Responsible Officer(s) Te Pou Matua:	Sally-Ann Marshall, Traffic Engineer
Accountable ELT Member Pouwhakarae:	Brent Smith, Acting General Manager City Infrastructure

1. Purpose and Origin of the Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo

1.1 The purpose of this report is for the Waipapa Papanui-Innes-Central Community Board to consider the approval of P3 time restricted parking adjacent to the St Albans Catholic School walkway access on Somme Street.

1.2 This report has been written in response to a request from St Albans Catholic School to provide more P3 time restricted spaces on Somme Street to improve safety for pedestrians, mainly school children, when getting to and from school.

1.3 The decisions in this report are of low significance in relation to 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.

1.4 The community engagement and consultation outlined in this report reflect the assessment.

1.5 The recommended option is to provide two P3 time restricted parking spaces in accordance with Attachment A.

2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu

That the Waipapa Papanui-Innes-Central Community Board:

1. Receives the information in the Somme Street - Proposed P3 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.

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 resolution 4 below.

4. Approves that in accordance with Clause 7 of the Christchurch City Council Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2017, that the parking of vehicles be restricted to a maximum period of 3 minutes on the eastern side of Somme Street, commencing at a point 59 metres south-east of its intersection with Hawkesbury Avenue and extending in a south-easterly direction for a distance of 13 metres as shown on Attachment A. This restriction is to apply on School Days Only, between the hours of 8:30am to 9:30am and 2:30pm to 3:30pm.

5. Approves that these resolutions take effect when parking signage and/or road markings that evidence the restrictions described in this staff report are in place (or removed in the case of revocations).

3. Executive Summary Te Whakarāpopoto Matua

3.1 Road safety concerns have been raised by St Albans Catholic School. These mainly relate to parking provision and the Papanui Parallel Cycleway which runs along Rutland Street where the school main entrance is located. The cycleway reduced the number of car parks available for school drop-off and pick-up, adding to congestion at these times. The school also note that parents and children are sometimes finding it difficult to cross the cycleway.

3.2 To assist in addressing these issues, St Albans Catholic School have requested that we provide a further two P3 time restricted spaces adjacent to their walkway access on Somme Street. The provision of these time restricted spaces on Somme Street will help to reduce congestion at the school frontage on Rutland Street and benefit pedestrian safety by enabling pick-up and drop-offs on the school side of the road. It will also generally improve the parking situation around the school.

3.3 The recommendations in this report will help to achieve the desired community outcome of a well-connected and accessible city through improved road safety.

3.4 Options within this report have been assessed against relevant industry-standard design guidance including the sight distance requirements.

4. Background/Context Te Horopaki

4.1 St Albans Catholic School have two access points: their main frontage on Rutland Street and a pedestrian walkway on the other side of the property onto Somme Street.

4.2 Rutland Street is classified as a Collector Road in the Council’s Road Classification System. These are roads that distribute and collect local traffic between neighbourhood areas and the arterial road network. They link to the arterial road network and act as local spine roads, and form part of a local bus route.

4.3 Somme Street is classified as a Local Road. These roads function almost entirely for access purposes and are not intended to act as through routes.

4.4 The Papanui Parallel cycleway runs along Rutland Street and is a separated cycleway that is located between the footpath and carriageway. The cycleway reduced the number of car parks available for school drop-off and pick-up at the school frontage adding to congestion at these times. The school also note that parents and children are sometimes finding it difficult to cross the cycleway.

4.5 In 2022, the school requested that we provide a drop-off and pick-up parking zone. Somme Street was considered the appropriate place to locate this as it is a quieter, local street with less pressure on the existing parking. Prior to this there had been no dedicated drop-off/pick-up point. Seven P3 time-restricted spaces were therefore approved by the Waimāero Fendalton-Waimari-Harewood Community Board in April 2022. The location of these spaces is shown on Attachment A.

4.6 In June 2024, staff met with St Albans Catholic School to discuss further safety concerns they have relating to their pupils getting to and from school. One of the points raised during this visit was that the school are still experiencing the issues raised in 4.4. They have therefore requested that we provide a further two time-restricted spaces adjacent to their access on Somme Street. The P3 time restriction will apply between 8.30am to 9.30am and 2.30pm to 3.30pm, on school days only. These spaces will then be available for residents for unrestricted parking outside of these hours.

4.7 Policy 1 of the Christchurch Suburban Car Parking Policy details how suburban road space is to be prioritised. Table 1 of this policy provides a road priority matrix and is provided in Attachment B of this report.

This policy describes that certain kerb side road space will be prioritised over others, depending on whether it is a residential, commercial or other areas.

The area around St Albans Catholic School is a residential area. The proposal aims to provide a safer space for parents to drop off their children; as per Policy 1, Safety is given first priority in residential areas.

4.8 Several units have been constructed on the plot to the south of the school walkway access onto Somme Street. This could be expected to have increased the number of vehicles parking in the immediate vicinity. Staff have not received any complaints relating to lack of parking however, and there have been available spaces in the slightly wider area available when staff have visited the site. As the time restrictions apply between 8.30am to 9.30am and 2.30pm to 3.30pm, on school days only, we do not expect the proposals to have a significant impact on available parking for residents.

4.9 There have been no reported crashes at this location in the last five years. However, this proposal aims to reduce the risk of there being an incident outside the school.

4.10 Approval is required by the Waipapa Papanui-Innes-Central Community Board.

4.11 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).

6.3.2 The recommendations in the report are consistent with Councils Suburban Parking Policy.

6.3.3 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 bythe low level impact and number of people affected by the recommended proposal.

6.5 Transport

6.5.1 Activity: Transport

· Level of Service: 10.3.3 Maintain customer satisfaction with the ease of use of Council on-street parking facilities - >=50%

Community Impacts and Views Ngā Mariu ā-Hāpori

6.7 The preferred option plan was sent to the residents and owners of the two properties directly affected by the proposals.

6.8 We did not receive any response from the four residents and property owners contacted.

6.9 The Team Leader Parking Compliance supports the preferred option.

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

· Waipapa Papanui-Innes-Central.

Impact on Mana Whenua Ngā Whai Take Mana Whenua

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

6.12 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

6.13 The proposals in this report are unlikely to contribute significantly to adaptation to the impacts of climate change or emissions reductions.

6.14 This is a minor proposal that is principally intended to address safety concerns at 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 the existing sign to be relocated and road markings to be installed.

3. Executive Summary Te Whakarāpopoto Matua

3.1 The neighbourhood has seen significant commercial development over the past ten months. Marian College opened at the end of 2023 on the site behind St Joseph’s Catholic School. Pak’n’Save Papanui, on the corner of Northcote Road and Main North Road, also opened in March 2024. These developments have resulted in an increase in traffic numbers travelling to and from the area.

3.2 Road safety concerns have been raised by St Joseph’s Catholic School. Vagues Road has predominantly unrestricted parking and, due to the proximity of the developments noted above, is attractive for all-day parking. This is causing issues at pick-up and drop-off times due to the lack of parking options for parents.

3.3 St Joseph’s Catholic School have requested that we investigate measures to assist in addressing these issues. Our recommended option is to provide P120 time restricted parking on one side of Vagues Road between Main North Road and Nyoli Street, which includes the school’s frontage.

3.4 The provision of P120 parking restrictions will help deter all-day parking in this location, providing more space for parents at pick-up and drop-off time. This in turn should reduce congestion at the school frontage as well as generally improving the parking situation around the school.

3.5 The recommendations in this report will help to achieve the desired community outcome of a well-connected and accessible city through improved road safety.

3.6 Options within this report have been assessed against relevant industry-standard design guidance including the sight distance requirements.

4. Background/Context Te Horopaki

4.1 Vagues Road is classified as a Local Road, these roads function almost entirely for access purposes and are not intended to act as through routes.

4.2 Vagues Road is a two-way street and approximately 13.5 metres wide. Parking is unrestricted apart from eight existing P3 (between 8.00am to 9.00pm and 2.30pm to 3.30pm) spaces located east of the school entrance.

4.3 St Joseph’s Catholic School has approximately 440 students. The school’s access is off Vagues Road and this is the main pick-up and drop-off location.

4.4 Parking occupancy demand has recently increased here due to developments in the area as noted in 3.1.

4.5 Marian College is located directly to the north of St Joseph’s Catholic School. The school has an agreement with the college to allow access through the school grounds for college pupils to access Vagues Road. It is pupils from Marian College that have primarily been observed parking along Vagues Road during school hours.

4.6 In June 2024, staff met with St Joseph’s Catholic School to discuss road safety concerns. One of the points raised was that the school are experiencing considerable congestion at pick-up and drop-off times due to the lack of alternative parking options for parents.

4.7 The existing P3 is not being used properly with parents tending to sit and wait in these spaces, particularly in the afternoon for pick-ups.

4.8 As the other parking spaces in this location are currently unrestricted there is rarely opportunity for parking beyond the existing P3’s, and vehicles have been observed stopping in the carriageway near the school entrance. This is a road safety issue and worsens congestion. Double parking is prohibited as per Section 6.11 of the Land Transport (Road User) Rule 2004.

4.9 Staff at the school have been proactive in trying to manage the behaviour discussed in 4.7 and 4.8. They have staff out at the kea crossing at pick-up and drop-off times, have used cones and have used written communications. With the number of pupils however they have stressed there is only so much they can do.

4.10 Increasing the turnover of available unrestricted spaces should enable parents to stop in a safe location and reduce the chance of double parking. This in turn will help to relieve congestion at drop-off and pick-up times.

4.11 Policy 1 of the Christchurch Suburban Car Parking Policy details how suburban road space is to be prioritised. Table 1 of this policy provides a road priority matrix and is provided in Attachment B of this report.

This policy describes that certain kerb side road space will be prioritised over others, depending on whether it is residential, commercial or other areas.

The area around St Joseph’s Catholic School is residential. The proposal aims to assist with providing a safer space for parents to drop-off and pick-up their children; as per Policy 1, Safety is given first priority in residential areas.

4.12 Several units are currently under construction on two land parcels that front where we are proposing to install P120 parking. This is expected to increase the number of vehicles parking in the immediate vicinity.

Parking spaces were available in the slightly wider area available when staff have visited the site. We are proposing that the timed parking restrictions be enforceable between 8am and 4pm, and further restricted to “School Days Only”. These spaces will therefore be available for unrestricted parking between 2pm and 10am when considering the allowable two hours, on weekends and on public/school holidays.

We therefore do not expect the proposals to have a significant impact on available parking for these future residents.

4.13 There has been one reported crash at this location in the last five years. This was classified as minor and not related to congestion caused by school traffic, the incident being caused by a driver pulling out of their driveway without checking both ways. However, this proposal aims to reduce the risk of there being an incident outside the school.

4.14 Approval is required by the Waipapa Papanui-Innes-Central Community Board.

4.15 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).

6.1 Not applicable.

Legal Considerations Ngā Hīraunga ā-Ture

6.1.1 Part 1, Clause 7 of the Christchurch City Council Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2017 provides Council with the authority to install parking or stopping restrictions by resolution.

6.1.3 The installation of any signs and/or markings associated with traffic control devices must comply with the Land Transport Rule: Traffic Control Devices 2004.

6.2 Other Legal Implications:

6.2.1 There is no other legal context, issue, or implication relevant to this decision.

Strategy and Policy Considerations Te Whai Kaupapa here

6.3 The required decision:

6.3.1 Aligns with the Christchurch City Council’s Strategic Framework.

6.3.2 The recommendations in the report are consistent with Councils Suburban Parking Policy.

6.3.3 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 impact and number of people affected by the recommended proposal.

6.4 This report supports the Council's Long Term Plan (2024 - 2034):

6.5 Transport

6.5.1 Activity: Transport

· Level of Service: 10.3.3 Maintain customer satisfaction with the ease of use of Council on-street parking facilities - >=50%

Community Impacts and Views Ngā Mariu ā-Hāpori

6.6 The request for additional parking restrictions was initiated by the Principal of St Joseph’s Catholic School.

6.7 The preferred option plan was sent to 52 residents, businesses and property owners directly affected by the proposals.

6.8 We received four responses: one in general support, one stating they were not affected by the proposals and two against (these two were both residents at the same property).

6.9 General comments were:

6.9.1 One submitter has observed parking issues at school drop-off and pick-up times.

6.9.2 One submitter stated that they thought the P120 time limit would be ineffective as parents park for much shorter times than this. The rationale behind the proposal is to deter all day parking near to the school and increase turnover of these spaces, not that parents would park here for 120 minutes.

6.9.3 Three submitters stated that we should investigate measures to deter speeding, such as speed humps.

Traffic calming measures such as speed humps are not specifically funded in the Council’s Long Term Plan. The Minor Road Safety and Minor Safety Interventions programme budgets could potentially be used to fund traffic calming projects if there is a clearly defined road safety issue and/or crash history that needs to be addressed. However, most requests for traffic calming often fall short when compared and prioritised against other projects that also need to be funded from these programme budgets. Vagues Road is currently ranked as a low-risk location. We do not want to wait for crashes to happen before taking action, however due to the limited available funding, locations with an historically higher number of injury crashes or higher crash risk are prioritised.

6.10 The Team Leader Parking Compliance supports the preferred option.

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

· Waipapa Papanui-Innes-Central.

Impact on Mana Whenua Ngā Whai Take Mana Whenua

6.12 The decisions no not involve a significant decision in relation to ancestral land, a body of water or other elements of intrinsic value, therefore this decision does not specifically impact Mana Whenua, their culture, and traditions.

6.13 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

6.14 The proposals in this report are unlikely to contribute significantly to adaptation to the impacts of climate change or emissions reductions.

6.15 This is a minor proposal that is principally intended to address safety concerns at 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.

Accountable ELT Member Pouwhakarae:	Brent Smith, Acting General Manager City Infrastructure

1. Purpose and Origin of the Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo

1.1 The purpose of this report is for the Waipapa Papanui-Innes-Central Community Board to consider approval of time restricted parking for three car parks on St Asaph Street.

1.2 The report has been written in response to a request from a business for short term parking to be provided outside their business for customers and visitors.

1.3 The community engagement and consultation outlined in this report reflect the assessment.

1.4 The recommended option is to provide three time restricted parking spaces in accordance with Attachment A.

2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu

That the Waipapa Papanui-Innes-Central Community Board:

1. Receives the information in the St Asaph Street, Fitzgerald Avenue to Phillips Street - Proposed 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.

3. Revoke 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 and 5 below.

4. Approves that, in accordance with Clause 7 of the Christchurch City Council Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2017, the parking of vehicles be restricted to a maximum period of 120 minutes on the south side of St Asaph Street, commencing at a point 196 metres east of its intersection with Fitzgerald Avenue and extending in an easterly direction for a distance of 11 metres as shown on Attachment A, plan TG148352 Issue 2 dated 28/08/2024.

5. Approves that, in accordance with Clause 7 of the Christchurch City Council Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2017, the parking of vehicles be restricted to a maximum period of 30 minutes on the south side of St Asaph Street, commencing at a point 219 metres east of its intersection with Fitzgerald Avenue and extending in an easterly direction for a distance of 5.5 metres as shown on Attachment A, plan TG148352 Issue 2 dated 28/08/2024. This restriction is to apply At All Times.

6. Approves that these resolutions take effect when parking signage and/or road markings that evidence the restrictions described in this staff report are in place (or removed in the case of revocations).

3. Executive Summary Te Whakarāpopoto Matua

3.1 A local business has requested timed parking restrictions be installed across three car parks on St Asaph Street. This is to encourage turnover and provide space for both customers and business delivery vehicles to park for short periods throughout the day.

3.2 Due to the high parking demands in this area these spaces are often occupied by long term parking.

3.3 The recommended option is to install one P30 and two P120 time restricted parking spaces as shown on Attachment A.

3.4 The recommendations in this report will help to achieve the desired community outcome of a well-connected and accessible city through improved road safety.

4. Background/Context Te Horopaki

4.1 Council received a request from the Funeral Directors Lamb, Bell and Trotter to provide time restricted parking adjacent to their property on St. Asaph Street. Currently the parking here is unrestricted.

4.2 This section of St Asaph Street is between Fitzgerald Avenue and Phillips Street. It is classified as a Local Road in Council’s roading hierarchy. These roads function almost entirely for access purposes and are not intended to act as through routes for motor vehicles.

4.3 St Asaph Street between Fitzgerald Avenue and Phillips Street is a two-way street with space for parking in both directions. It is a solely commercial area with no residential properties located here.

4.4 Currently the parking on the north side of the street is unrestricted. On the south side there are three existing loading zones and a bus stop.

4.5 There is a high parking demand in this area predominantly associated with staff parking for local businesses.

4.6 Policy 2 of the Christchurch Suburban Parking Policy states that where occupancy of on-street parking regularly exceeds 75% at peak times, Council will look to apply time restrictions to sections of the street (approximately 25% - 50%). Typically, P120 time restrictions will be applied in residential streets around commercial centres, industrial areas, office parks and larger activities such as universities.

For reference, the Council Parking Policies can be found here: Christchurch Suburban Parking Policies: Christchurch City Council (ccc.govt.nz).

4.7 Our preferred option is to provide one P30 At All Times and two P120 time restricted spaces directly outside the business that initiated the request. Staff have visited the site on several occasions to confirm the occupancy of spaces complies with the parking policy criteria as noted in section 4.6.

4.8 As this section of St Asaph Street meets the requirements of the Suburban Parking Policy for consideration of timed parking restrictions, and to consider the block holistically, staff consulted with all the businesses and property owners located on this section of St Asaph Street. The aim of this was to identify if the wider business community wanted the parking restrictions reviewing.

4.9 An initial proposal for timed parking restrictions to be installed along the south side of St Asaph Street was developed and sent out to affected businesses. The original consultation plan is shown on Attachment B.

4.10 The general consultation feedback was strongly against these initial proposals with the majority wanting the existing parking layout to remain. We therefore amended the proposals in response to this feedback to account for this. The consultation feedback is discussed further in the Community Impacts and Views section of this report.

4.11 The recommended option is to install one P30 and two P120 time restricted parking spaces as shown on Attachment A. The proposed time restricted spaces are directly adjacent to the business frontage that requested them.

4.12 Approval is required by the Waipapa Papanui-Innes-Central Community Board.

4.13 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).

Community Impacts and Views Ngā Mariu ā-Hāpori

6.6 The initial request for Staff to investigate timed parking restrictions was initiated by a local business.

6.7 The initial proposal was sent to all the business and property owners on the section of St Asaph Street between Fitzgerald Avenue and Phillips Street.

6.8 We received twelve responses to the initial proposal; four in support and eight strongly opposed.

6.9 Key points from those in support:

· one was the business that made the initial request

· one was also happy for the current situation to remain

· one was generally supportive but questioned how effective they would be without regular enforcement

· one wanted parking restrictions on both sides of the street

6.10 Key points from those strongly opposed:

· All stated it would affect where their employees would park

· Two stated that their customers would require longer than two hours – these were car repair businesses

· Three stated that moving the loading zone would not benefit them or their staff and they wanted the parking adjacent to their business to remain as it currently is

6.11 The recommended option is therefore to provide the two P120 and one P30 At Any Time restricted parking spaces as shown on Attachment A.

6.12 All submitters were sent the recommended option. We have received three responses to this, all in support.

6.13 The Team Leader Parking Compliance supports the preferred option.

Responsible Officer(s) Te Pou Matua:	Sally-Ann Marshall, Traffic Engineer
Accountable ELT Member Pouwhakarae:	Brent Smith, Acting General Manager City Infrastructure

1. Purpose and Origin of the Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo

1.1 For the Waipapa Papanui-Innes-Central Community Board to approve P10 Parking Restrictions on Cornwall Street outside Kidsfirst kindergarten.

1.2 This report has been written in response to a request from the Kidsfirst kindergarten to extend the existing P10 parking restriction directly outside their property.

1.3 The recommended option is to install P10 Parking Restrictions as shown on Attachment A.

2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu

That the Waipapa Papanui-Innes-Central Community Board:

1. Receives the information in the Cornwall Street - Proposed Short Term Parking Restrictions Report.

2. Notes that the decisions in this report are 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 parking or stopping restrictions described in this resolution.

4. Approves, pursuant to Clause 7 of the Christchurch City Council Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2017, that the parking of motor vehicles be restricted to a maximum period of ten minutes on the west side of Cornwall Street, commencing at a point 58 metres north of its intersection with Edgeware Road and extending in a northerly direction for a distance of 32 metres. This restriction is to apply between 8.30am and 3pm, on School Days Only.

5. Approves that these resolutions take effect when parking signage and/or road markings that evidence the restrictions described in the staff report are in place (or removed in the case of revocations).

3. Executive Summary Te Whakarāpopoto Matua

3.1 Road safety concerns have been raised about the availability of car parks for parents to use for pick-up and drop-off outside Kidsfirst kindergarten on Cornwall Street. The street is narrow and has limited parking options, which is leading to unsafe behaviour at these times.

3.2 The kindergarten has requested that the existing P10 time restriction is extended to include the two spaces directly to the north. The proposed time restricted spaces will be located adjacent to the kindergarten and all P10 spaces will be restricted to between 8.30am and 3pm on school days only.

The recommended option is to install the P10 timed parking restriction in accordance with Attachment A. This is a two-vehicle space extension of the existing P10. This should help with allowing parents to pick-up and drop-off children from the kindergarten and therefore reduce the likelihood of unsafe behaviour at these times.

4. Background/Context Te Horopaki

4.1 A customer service request (H04269062) has been raised by the Head Teacher at Kidsfirst kindergarten on Cornwall Street. They noted they are experiencing road safety issues with parents parking erratically at pick-up and drop -off time due to a lack of available, alternative parking options.

4.2 Directly adjacent to the kindergarten frontage there are three existing P10 time restricted spaces, which apply from Monday to Friday and on school days only. There are a further two unrestricted spaces adjacent to their frontage to the north of the existing P10 spaces, and they have asked that the P10 restriction be extended to include these two spaces.

4.3 There are 52 families enrolled at the kindergarten, with approximately 40 children attending at any one time.

4.4 This section of Cornwall Street is a narrow, 6.5 metre wide street that has an alternating no stopping restriction along one side. There is an existing P120, Monday to Friday restriction on the east side between Edgeware Road and the speed hump. However, due to a lack of enforcement, vehicles are often parking here all day.

4.5 There are four unrestricted carparking spaces available on the section of Cornwall Street between Edgeware Road and the bend to the north, including the two outside the kindergarten.

4.6 Site visits to observe typical drop-off and pick-ups time showed that:

· There were no spaces available within the P120 opposite the kindergarten.

· Construction vehicles were parked on the footpath and in unrestricted parking spaces.

· Vehicles were parking on the footpath on the section of Cornwall Street between the bend and Cranford Street.

4.7 There is currently construction activity on the plot opposite the kindergarten. There are four units being built, each with a single garage. These works are temporary and are expected to finish in the next two months.

4.8 The kindergarten head teacher is concerned that the units will increase pressure on the available parking spaces. Based on observations in other areas, it is noted this is likely to be the case.

4.9 Staff are proposing that the existing P10 time restricted parking be extended to include the two unrestricted parking spaces directly to the north of these and adjacent to the kindergarten frontage. As the current restriction is Monday to Friday this would apply between 8am and 6pm. Considering the lack of on-street parking in the street, it is proposed to shorten this time restriction to 8.30am to 3pm, on school days only, therefore making all P10 spaces available for residents after this time. This has been discussed and agreed with kindergarten staff.

4.10 Policy 1 of the Christchurch Suburban Car Parking Policy details how suburban road space is to be prioritised. Table 1 of this policy provides a road priority matrix and is provided in Attachment B of this report. This policy describes that certain kerb side road space will be prioritised over others, depending on whether it is a residential, commercial or other area.

4.11 The area around the kindergarten is both a residential and commercial area. The proposal aims to provide a safer space for parents to drop off their children; as per Policy 1, safety is given first priority in residential/commercial areas.

4.12 There have been no crashes in this location within the past 5-years. However, this proposal aims to reduce the risk of there being an incident outside the kindergarten.

4.13 Approval is required by the Waipapa Papanui-Innes-Central Community Board.

4.14 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).

Options Considered Ngā Kōwhiringa Whaiwhakaaro

4.15 The following reasonably practicable options were considered and are assessed in this report:

· Provide two P10 time restricted parking space along the Kidsfirst kindergarten frontage on Cornwall Street and make all P10 spaces operational from 8.30am to 3pm, on school days only.

· Maintain the status quo – retain as two unrestricted parking spaces.

Options Descriptions Ngā Kōwhiringa

4.16 Preferred Option: Provide two P10 time restricted parking space along the Kidsfirst kindergarten frontage on Cornwall Street and make all P10 spaces operational from 8.30am to 3pm, on school days only.

· Addresses the request from the kindergarten to provide safer, dedicated drop-off and pick-up parking.

· Changing the duration of time that the existing P10 spaces operate, from 8am to 6pm, to 8.30am to 3pm on school days only, will provide additional longer-term parking for residents and visitors. All P10 spaces will operate from 8.30am to 3pm on school days only.

4.16.2 Option Disadvantages

· Removes two unrestricted on-street parking spaces on Cornwall Street outside the Kidsfirst Kindergarten.

· Physical sign and/or road marking changes required.

4.17 Maintain the status quo – retain as unrestricted parking space.

4.17.1 Option Advantages

· Retains two unrestricted on-street parking spaces on Cornwall Street outside the kindergarten.

12. Proposed P5 Loading Zone outside 329 Madras Street

Responsible Officer(s) Te Pou Matua:	Sahan Lalpe, Traffic Engineer, sahan.lalpe@ccc.govt.nz
Accountable ELT Member Pouwhakarae:	Brent Smith, Acting General Manager City Infrastructure

1. Purpose and Origin of the Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo

1.1 For the Waipapa Papanui-Innes-Central Community Board to approve a P5 loading zone outside 329 Madras Street.

1.2 This report has been written in response to a request by the business at 329 Madras Street, Soundline Audio.

2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu

That the Waipapa Papanui-Innes-Central Community Board:

1. Receives the information in the Proposed P5 Loading Zone outside 329 Madras Street Report.

2. Notes that the decision in this report are 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 and as shown on Attachment A to the report (Plan TG148378 dated 16/09/2024), a Loading Zone be installed, on the west side of Madras Street, commencing at a point 50 metres south of its intersection with Salisbury Street and extending in a southerly direction for a distance of 7 metres. This Loading Zone is to be restricted to a maximum period of 5 minutes. The restriction is to apply to Goods Vehicles Only, from 9am to 4pm.

5. Approves that these resolutions take effect when parking signs that evidence the restrictions described in item 4 is in place (or removed in the case of revocations).

3. Executive Summary Te Whakarāpopoto Matua

3.1 Soundline Audio, at 329 Madras Street, have raised two Customer Service Requests for the installation of yellow no stopping lines to the north of their driveway.

3.2 The main issue is that two vehicles are squeezing into seven meters of unrestricted parking space. This is blocking Soundline Audio’s driveway. In addition to this, it was found that drivers making deliveries to Soundline Audio (using vehicles that are 8 metres or larger) reverse into the off-road carpark on the business premises, which is a road safety concern.

3.3 A proposal, as outlined in Attachment A to the report on the meeting agenda (Plan TG148378 dated 16/09/2024), was developed to mitigate the issues identified (i.e., vehicles blocking the driveway and delivery vehicles reversing into the on-site carpark). The proposal is for a P5 Loading Zone, from 9am to 4pm, located outside 329 Madras Street.

4. Background/Context Te Horopaki

4.1 A Customer Service Request was received on 26 June 2024, requesting the installation of yellow no stopping lines outside 329 Madras Street, immediately north of the driveway. A similar request was also made two years ago.

4.2 The reason for the request was that the delivery vehicles accessing the Soundline Audio, the business operating at 329 Madras Street, were not able to get onto the site safely. The large delivery vehicles are currently reversing into the site, and vehicles parked to the north of the driveway are also blocking the entry of these reversing vehicles.

4.3 There is insufficient space for two vehicles to park north of the driveway. However, on a regular basis, two vehicles attempt to squeeze into this space. This has led to drivers blocking the driveway of 329 Madras Street, resulting in calls to the Council to have the vehicles blocking the driveway towed. This is creating some tension within the community.

4.4 The current movements by delivery vehicles, (i.e., reversing into off-road carpark), are considered unsafe as they block traffic on Madras Street and is not a movement that is to be encouraged. It is considered that providing no stopping lines to the north of the driveway, as per the request, would still not facilitate easier access into the site.

4.5 It is also considered that marking the space for just one vehicle (approximately 5.5 metres) will not stop the driver of a second vehicle from attempting to squeeze into this space.

4.6 An alternative proposal, (i.e., a loading zone) was presented to the customer that raised the ticket, so that deliveries could occur at the kerbside and not on the site. This proposal was then consulted with the community, refer from 6.8 to 6.11 for more information.

4.7 The feedback and further discussion with the community led to the loading sign being operational from 9am to 4pm, as per Attachment A to the report on the meeting agenda (Plan TG148378 dated 16/09/2024).

Options Considered Ngā Kōwhiringa Whaiwhakaaro

4.8 The following reasonably practicable options were considered and are assessed in this report:

4.8.1 Install a P5 Loading Zone on the west side of Madras Street in accordance with Attachment A. The restriction applies between 9am to 4pm.

4.8.2 Do nothing and leave the parking as unrestricted.

4.9 The following options were considered but ruled out:

4.9.1 Installing P5 Loading Zone with standard hours and days of operation (i.e., 8am to 6pm, Monday to Sunday other than holidays). Resident feedback opposed the restriction being this long.

4.9.2 Relocating the existing P5 time restricted space outside Atelier Textiles (i.e., 323 Madras Street) further north and creating a larger Loading Zone that can service both businesses (i.e., Atelier Textiles and Soundline Audio). Atelier Textiles did not support this plan.

Options Descriptions Ngā Kōwhiringa

4.10 Preferred Option: Loading Zone in accordance with Attachment A.

4.10.1 Option Advantages

· Meets the needs of the business immediately next to the Loading Zone (i.e., Soundline Audio), while also meeting the needs of the surrounding residents.

· The option will remove the need for delivery drivers to reverse into the property as loading will take place from the kerbside, making it safer. This proposal is in alignment with the Central City Parking Policy (2021), where the highest priority is given to safety.

· Stops multiple vehicles trying to squeeze into a parking space that is only large enough for one vehicle to park. This prevents the driveway from being blocked by vehicles, which is currently forcing the business to have these vehicles towed away. The option will lead to more harmony in the area than the current situation.

· The signs and line marking reinforces the presence of the vehicle crossing and that there is a parking restriction present, which should stop long term parking during business hours.

· Provides a space that can be used by other delivery vehicles servicing nearby properties.

4.10.2 Option Disadvantages

· Removes one unrestricted parking space.

· Cost to the Council to install the signs associated with the Loading Zone.

4.11 Maintain the status quo – do nothing and leave the space unrestricted.

4.11.1 Option Advantages

· No additional cost to Council.

· Retains an unrestricted parking space.

4.11.2 Option Disadvantages

· Does not address the existing issues (i.e. blocking driveway and road safety concern) highlighted by the community.

Community Impacts and Views Ngā Mariu ā-Hāpori

6.8 Affected property owners and residents were advised of the recommended option by letter. The consultation document was emailed to 40 addresses associated with residents and owners of the apartment building at 341 Madras Street.

6.9 There was only one response from the 40 letters issued. There were no return to senders received from the 40 issued.

6.10 The one response noted that they were partially opposed to the proposal. The key reason for this was that there were insufficient off-street carparks within the apartment building, resulting in residents using the unrestricted on-street carparks. The business, Soundline Audio, was noted to have off-street carparks, and so questioned the need for a Loading Zone outside the premises.

However, they did acknowledge the squeezing of two car parks into this space, which would restrict the entry into the business premises, and suggested marking a single car park space instead of creating a Loading Zone.

Ultimately, the response ended with not being fully opposed to the proposal and requested the time of operation be restricted to either 4pm or 4:30pm. This input was taken onboard, and the plan was changed to have a time restriction from 9am to 4pm.

6.11 The proposal was also discussed with the business immediately to the south of Soundline Audio, Atelier Textiles. Atelier Textiles did not have any objections with Soundline Audio having a Loading Zone outside Soundline’s business.

6.12 The Team Leader Parking Compliance supports the preferred option.

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

6.13.1 Waipapa Papanui-Innes-Central.

3.5 Participation in and Contribution to Decision Making

3.5.1 Report back on other Activities contributing to Community Board Plan

· Community Service Awards 2024

Board members continued presenting this year's Community Service Awards to the deserving recipients at their places of volunteering or relevant events. Shown below are some the Graffiti Programme volunteers recognised this year for their invaluable mahi to addressing graffiti and showing pride in our communities.

Shown in the group photo below are recipients, Warren and Fiona Elston, Brent Howard, and Denise Matthews, and shown to the left is Rachel Pirie. The other Graffiti Programme volunteers who received awards this year, but not shown are Carlos McNish and Graeme Logie.

Next shown below is Jason Harvey being presented with his certificate at the AGM for St Albans Residents Association.

Next shown left and below respectively are Jamie McQueen and Lesley Watson, who received Community Service Awards for their amazing volunteer work for Shirley Community Trust. Jamie has volunteered for the last five years training baristas and making coffees at the Trust’s community café, as well as helping at community events over the years. Lesley has volunteered with the Trust for a long time, having helped with the café for the last ten years, the nail care clinic for eight years, and preparing morning tea each week for the preschool music group for the last four years.

Finally, shown below is a group photo of the hospital volunteers, who provide the public with much-needed guidance and support as they navigate the hospital.

Their role is crucial in assisting patients, visitors, and staff to find their way around with ease and confidence, contributing to a seamless and stress-free experience for all in what can often be very stressful times. The Chair and Deputy Chair presented awards to all nine of the volunteers for their selfless support to the community.

· Riverlution Café opening

Richmond Community Garden have reported the Riverlution team had an amazing time trialling the Café for the first time on the weekend of 7 September 2024, with so many visitors they used all their supplies. This trial was timed to align with their Learning Day, which included the creation of natural fences from hazel and willow, learning to sow seeds, tapping birch for sap, and some fun with the art chart from The White Room.

The official opening of the Café took place a week later on 14 September 2024, and they’re now operating five days a week, from Saturday to Wednesday.

· Phillipstown Hub Updates

Phillipstown Hub’s Garden facilitator is hard at work expanding their garden footprint for the Spring Season, with two more tunnel houses on the way, and paving a wheelchair accessible garden zone with raised garden beds.

Also, celebrating Spring Equinox, the Hub recently had an engagement day encouraging people to get involved and they helped sow hundreds of seedling trays. They additionally have a Spring Gala coming up on 2 November 2024 where they will be swapping seedlings for canned goods to stock their community pantry.

· Great Library Seed and Plant Swap

Papanui Library joined in with the Great Library Seed and Plant Swap between 21 and 25 September 2024. Free vegetable, herb, flower and native seeds were available on the table as well as vegetable and flower plants, and native seedlings.

The display attracted interest from green-thumbed locals and curious library-goers alike. Grateful thanks go to the Papanui Mega Mitre 10, Trees for Canterbury, WeedBusters, and the Waipapa Papanui-Innes-Central Community Board for their support.

· Harewood Road Rail Crossing Upgrade

Two cranes were in action on the morning of 17 September 2024 as Fulton Hogan, in collaboration with the Council and KiwiRail, completed a tandem lift for the Harewood Road rail crossing upgrade.

The two cranes worked together to lift the 39-tonne new edilon concrete slab and train tracks into position. No trains were running while the work was happening but with the track successfully installed, KiwiRail trains were back in action by the evening (see the videos of the tandem lift and the train back in use the same day).

· Parks Update

The Community Partnership Rangers continue their collaborative work with the community around the greenspaces in the Board area:

Worcester Corner Reserve - A small native planting took place with Step Ahead Trust in mid-June (shown below). Reported to be a lovely session; everyone was in good spirits and there was talk of doing some future sessions in the reserve to clear out weeds. A few of the rangers were in attendance to interact with the group.

Welcome Rest - The local community member who has been caring for this pocket park for years continues to plant and weed weekly. The artwork installed is still there. Only one has been stolen, but the other three remain untouched.

The supporting Community Partnership Ranger supplies plants when required, though the community member also grows flowers from seed.

Essex Reserve - In October, the Community Partnership Rangers will hold a session to do some weed removal in the garden beds. They completed a small native planting there in June (shown to the left).

Ollivers Reserve - On 12 September 2024, the Rangers did a weed clearing in the reserve with a local community member and Salisbury Street Foundation. The community member managed to get Zealandia to donate flowers and herbs to plant in the garden beds and planter boxes (shown to the right). It was reported to be a good session; the spruce up making quite the difference.

Rutland Reserve - There will be a planting session in the reserve with Paparoa Street School sometime in late October. The Ranger has 250 plants in total to go into the reserve, which will add to the last few years of planting.

There were two maintenance sessions at Rutland Reserve in May and June with the school and a corporate group working alongside each other (shown below), clearing weeds around the plants previously planted over the last two years and spreading mulch around them. The Ranger notes that it was a really great set up having the adults working with and helping the young students.

· World Rivers Day 2024

The collaboration of a number of organisations doing amazing work to protect our rivers, including Avon-Ōtākaro Network and Ōpāwaho-Heathcote River Network, the celebration of World Rivers Day on Sunday, 22 September 2024 in the central city, was reported to be a great family day out. The day showcased all the wonderful work going on in our city to help clean up our waterways, with lots of fun activities, prizes, food trucks and entertainment.

3.5.2 Council Engagement and Consultation

· Tree Planting Plans

Trees play an important role in combating the effects of climate change. Not only do they soak up carbon, they also bring many other benefits, such as reducing ground temperatures, aiding in stormwater management and filtering out air pollutants. The Council is undertaking an ambitious tree planting program across the city. The planting program is an important step in fulfilling the outcomes of the Urban Forest Plan which among other things endeavours to increase the canopy cover across our city.

· Welcoming Communities

The Council's Welcoming Communities team work to help newcomers (former refugees, migrants and international students) and relocated New Zealanders feel more welcomed, connected and valued in their communities. To do this, a new plan is being created to suit the unique needs of these newcomers. If you're new to Christchurch, they want to hear from you – to understand your needs, challenges, what you enjoy and what may have been missed, to create an inclusive environment.

Consultations in other parts of the district:

· Sumnervale Reserve proposed new lease (consultation closes 22 October 2024)

· Simeon Street crossing (consultation closes 13 October 2024)

· Sumner sports pavilion lease renewal (consultation closes 6 October 2024)

· Norwood and Fisher intersection (consultation closes 20 October 2024)

· Proposal to return Reserve 4622 at Pūrau Bay to Te Hāpu o Ngāti Wheke

3.6.1 Customer Service Request (CSR) Report for the Papanui-Innes-Central Wards

Refer to Attachment B for the 1 September – 30 September 2024 statistics, providing an overview of the number of CSRs that have been received, including the types of requests being received and a breakdown of how they are being reported.

Snap Send Solve is the smartphone app the Council offers to help make reporting issues easy, and it is still possible to report issues online, by calling Council on 03 941 8999 or visiting one of the Council’s Service centres.

3.6.2 English Park

The lights at English Park are going to be upgraded with LED bulbs. Some of the lights no longer work - the old bulbs are difficult to purchase and are extremely expensive. The new LED bulbs will be more environmentally friendly, are more affordable, are cheaper to operate and reduce the lighting impact on the neighbouring properties. The new bulbs can be operated on three different lux settings; 100% for games and 50% and 25% for training sessions.

The below lighting table shows the reduced lighting lux on all three settings, the current maximum illumination with the old bulbs is 48.1. This will reduce to 29.9 at 100% illumination, 15 at 50% illumination and 7.48 at 25% illumination.

Following placement of the order, we expect the work to occur in December 2024 and take a few days to complete. Notice of works flyers will be delivered to the neighbours before work begins.

3.6.3 Climate action

The Board’s vision statement reflects its commitment to supporting the Ōtautahi Christchurch Climate Resilience Strategy's climate goals and the Ōtautahi-Christchurch Urban Forest Plan.
