9. SOUTHERN MOTORWAY EXTENSION – PROPOSED SPEED LIMITS ON ADJOINING ROADS

General Manager responsible: General Manager City Environment, DDI 941-8608 Officer responsible: Unit Manager Transport & Greenspace Author: Brian Boddy – Consultation Leader

PURPOSE OF REPORT

1. The purpose of this report is to request that the Riccarton/Wigram Community Board recommend that the Council approve for consultation the proposed Speed Limit Review for roads affected by the Southern Motorway extension as shown on the attached map (Attachment 1) and listed in the attached table (Attachment 2).

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

2. At present the roads under review have been altered by the construction of the Southern Motorway Extension. The temporary speed limits on some of these roads were put in place during the construction of the extension and now need to be reviewed and gazetted. Some of the existing gazetted speed limits also need to be reviewed too, because of the changed road environment. The first stage in the review is for the existing speed limits on the affected roads to be independently reviewed.

3. The speed limits on the roads in Attachment 2 have been reviewed in accordance with the Land Transport Rule: Setting of Speed Limits 2003, Rule 5004 version 5 (“The Rule”) by Council staff and an independent consultant. The consultant’s report is attached (Attachment 3). Following Council approval, full consultation will be undertaken with all stakeholders to gain their feedback on the proposed speed limits. This is proposed in October 2013.

4. At the completion of the consultation, formal application will be made to the Council for approval of the proposed changes, the addition of these roads to the appropriate By-Laws and application for the Gazetting of the new speed limits.

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS

5. There are no financial implications as the existing temporary speed signs will remain in place (no cost) and the review process is covered by the existing project budget.

Do the Recommendations of this Report Align with 2009-19 LTCCP budgets?

6. The estimated cost for the review, consultation and legal process is covered in the Southern Motorway Extension budget.

LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS

7. This process is being carried out in accordance with the requirements set out in the Local Government Act 2002, the Land Transport Rule, Setting of Speed Limits 2003 Rule 5004, and the Christchurch City Speed Limits Bylaw 2010.

Have you considered the legal implications of the issue under consideration?

8. As above. The Bylaw provides for the Council to set speed limits by resolution, but it must comply with section 7.1 of “The Rule” before it does so. Rule 7.1 sets out who the Council, as road controlling authority, must consult with before setting a speed limit and also provides for additional information that must be provided for some speed limits (e.g. when a proposed speed limit is 50 kilometres per hour or more and is not the calculated speed limit, or when it is less than 50 kilometres per hour). The Council must consult with the listed persons by writing to them advising them of the proposed speed limit and giving them a reasonable time, which must be specified in the letter, to make submissions on the proposal.

ALIGNMENT WITH LTCCP AND ACTIVITY MANAGEMENT PLANS

9. Aligns with the Streets and Transport activities by contributing to the Council’s Community Outcomes – Safety and Community.

Do the recommendations of this report support a level of service or project in the 2009-19? LTCCP?

10. As above.

ALIGNMENT WITH STRATEGIES

11. The recommendations align with the Road Safety Strategy 2004 and the Safer Christchurch Strategy 2005.

Do the recommendations align with the Council’s strategies?

12. As above.

CONSULTATION FULFILMENT

13. As noted in clauses 8 and 17 the Council must consult with the listed persons in ‘the rule’ by writing to them advising them of the proposed speed limit and giving them a reasonable time (four weeks), which must be specified in the letter, to make submissions on the proposal.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION

(a) That the information be received.

(b) That the Riccarton/Wigram Community Board requests that the Christchurch City Council approve the proposed speed limit review (shown in Attachment 2) for public consultation.

BACKGROUND

14. When Changing speed limits on roads in the city, the Council must undertake rating assessments for the roads under review using the Land Transport Safety Authority’s (LTSA) RTS 17 “Guidelines for Setting Speed Limits”. The results of these manual assessments are then checked with the LTSA computer programme “Speed Limits New Zealand”. This assessment has been completed by the consultant (Antoni Facey of KF Consilium Limited) and the data summarised in Attachment 2. The Council is not the Road Controlling Authority for State Highway 76, the Southern Motorway extension; therefore the Council cannot set speed limits on the motorway.

15. The setting of speed limits in New Zealand is based on road controlling authorities being able to assess ratings on a roadside development basis. This process has been followed in the assessment of the speed limits under review which broadly fall into the following categories:

Speed Limit Discussion 100 The general open road rural speed limit 80 The speed limit on some local and arterial rural roads and is often used as a route speed limit on roads linking urban areas. 70 The speed limit along roads where there is urban development along one side only abutting rural areas and along short sections of rural road linking with urban 50 km/h speed limit areas. 60 The speed limit along selected arterial routes where there is a high standard of road geometry and is often used as a route speed limit in urban areas. 50 The general urban speed limit.

16. Once the provisions of “The Rule” (see Clauses 7 and 14) have been complied with in relation to determining an appropriate speed limit and the necessary consultation has been undertaken, the Council may set that speed limit by passing a resolution under Clause 5 of the Bylaw. The new speed limit will then be recorded in the Council’s Speed Limit Register and maps and the NZTA advised so the new speed limits can be gazetted.

17. The particular roads in respect of which it is now proposed that new speed limits be set are shown on the plans and table attached to this report (Attachments 1 and 2). These plans and table detail the precise portions of the roads in question, the existing speed limits (temporary and/or gazetted), the proposed new speed limits and the reasons why it is proposed that the existing speed limits be changed. Where the proposed speed limit differs from the speed limit calculated in accordance with Speed Limits New Zealand, they are detailed together with the reasons specified in the table.

18. The term “Any Local Community” is not defined for the purposes of Section 7.1(2) (c) of “The Rule”. However, in respect of the roads referred to in the attached table (Attachment 2), it is considered that the appropriate persons to consult are the occupiers of those properties which adjoin those parts of the roads upon which it is proposed that the speed limits be changed and the Riccarton/Wigram Community Board in respect of whose area the roads lie. Environment Canterbury and affected bus companies, who drive any of the roads listed in Attachment 2, will also be consulted.

19. Consultation will be undertaken in respect of the proposed speed limits set out in the table attached to this report (Attachment 2), when approved by the Council. In each case, the persons required to be consulted will be given not less than four weeks in which to make submissions on the proposals. This data will be assessed by the following authorities/organisations:

(a) The New Zealand Transport Agency; (b) Any territorial authority that is affected by the existing or proposed speed limit (eg. Environment Canterbury); (c) Any local community that the road controlling authority considers to be affected by the proposed speed limit; Riccarton/Wigram Community Board 20 August 2013 Agenda 20.08 2013 - 15 -

9. Cont’d

(d) The Commissioner (Police); (e) The Chief Executive Officer of the New Zealand Automobile Association Incorporated; (f) The Chief Executive Officer of the Road Transport Forum New Zealand and (g) Any other organisation or road user group that the road controlling authority considers to be affected by the proposed speed limit.

20. On completion of this consultation, the Council needs to consider the feedback received. Decisions must then be taken on the most appropriate speed limits for the roads being reviewed, appropriate gazette notices prepared by the LTSA and changes made to the fourth schedule (Bylaw Speed Limits) of the Council’s Traffic and Parking Bylaw.

21. The proposed timetable for the completion of this review is as follows:

(a) 29 August 2013: Report to Council seeking consent to consult. (b) September - October 2013: Consultation to be carried out as detailed in paragraph 27.

Christchurch City Council CSM Speed Limit Review - February 2013

INTRODUCTION

This report is to consider the locations of the proposed speed limit signs and regime around the new works for the Christchurch Southern Motorway at the southern end of the project. This includes the Springs Road / Halswell Junction Road roundabout, the Halswell Junction Road/CSM roundabout, the Dunbars Road/Awatea Road bridge and the Aidanfield Road bridge.

All of the signs for the proposed speed limits have been erected and this review is based on the locations of the signs as they are currently located.

It should be noted that rating calculations as required by the Speed Limit Rule have been done. In relation to these calculations, note that Rule 3.2 (5) of the “Setting of Speed Limits 2003” rule states:

“A road controlling authority may propose to set a speed limit that differs from the calculated speed limit, but may set the proposed speed limit, in accordance with section 7, only if:

 (a) a speed limit different from the calculated speed limit is the safe and appropriate speed limit for a road with regard to the function, nature and use of the road, its environment, land use patterns and whether the road is in an urban traffic area or a rural area; or  (b) the proposed speed limit is less than 50 km/h and 3.2(6) applies”.

In this case, the rating calculations for the short sections are typically likely to all result in a high speed limit being proposed due to the lack of roadside development or cover intersections only which is not well recognized within the Rule. The speed limits being assessed are therefore being assessed under Rule 3.2 (5) (a) where the calculated speed limit does not concur with the proposed speed limit.

Rule 2.4 (3) of the “Setting of Speed Limits 2003” rule requires that “The point at which a speed limit changes must be at, or close to, a point of significant change in roadside development or the road environment.” This is critical to ensure that drivers will search for a sign to make them aware of any changes to speed limit or other conditions. It is known that drivers see less than half of the signs that are erected on the roadside. If there is no change of development or environment, drivers are less likely to look for or find a sign. If there is something changing in the level of roadside development, drivers are more likely to be alerted and look for and find any sign and then are more likely to respect the sign and drive at the posted speed limit.

ROADS CONSIDERED FOR SPEED LIMITS

Springs Road/Halswell Junction Road Roundabout and Motorway/Halswell Junction Road roundabout

Erected Speed Limits

These two roundabouts on Halswell Junction Road are separated by about 300 metres. The speed limit on Halswell Junction Road is 70 km/hr north of Springs Road and 80 km/hr south of the motorway. Springs Road east of Halswell Junction Road (towards the city) has a speed limit of 70 km/hr reducing to 50 km/hr past Wilmers Road and 80 km/hr west of Springs Road towards Prebbleton. The motorway has a speed limit of 100 km/hr. The issue to be considered here is whether the speed limit signs that have been erected reflect a logical and sensible set of speed limits that drivers would be likely to respect.

Discussion

The calculated speed limit rating is 1.7 recommending a speed limit of 100 km/hr. This does not appear to be supportable given the two roundabouts controlling the intersections within this section.

The speed limits signs that have been erected have the effect of making the speed limit on the two roundabout controlled intersections and the section between them 70 km/hr. Considering that the approaches from Halswell Junction Road north and Springs Road are both 70 km/hr, this would seem to be sensible. Also, the design speeds for the roundabouts appear to be no greater than 70 km/hr.

The locations of the speed limits change signs are appropriate. They are close enough that drivers can clearly see that a change of speed environment has occurred (the roundabouts) and that they need to slow down to successfully negotiate the intersections.

Conclusion

That the speed limits around the two roundabouts on Halswell Junction Road are appropriate and the locations where the speed limits change are appropriate.

Aidanfield Drive near Wigram Road

Erected Speed Limits

Wigram Road has an 80 km/hr speed limit. South of the motorway overbridge, Aidanfield Drive has a 50 km/hr speed limit clearly justified by the residential development. The speed limit change sign has been erected near the bridge on the northern side of the bridge some distance south of the originally intended position.

Discussion

The Aidanfield Drive link is new and has no current speed limit gazetted. The calculated average speed limit rating is 1.0 recommending a speed limit of 100 km/hr.

It is noted that there needs to be a speed limit change somewhere between Wigram Road and the start of the Aidanfield Drive residential development south of the bridge. The current location is considered to be in the best location given the difficulty of locating the signs at the change in development.

Traffic can turn from Wigram Road into Aidanfield Drive at a reasonably high speed due to the large radii on the intersection. Drivers need time to negotiate the intersection and establish themselves on Aidanfield Drive before they can be expected to read the speed limit signs. The current location provides enough time for them to be able to do this. If they were closer to the intersection, the drivers would be concentrating on turning and would likely miss the signs.

The bridge itself does not provide a significant change in speed environment to support a speed limit change and there is insufficient roadside development north of the bridge to support it. The western side of Aidanfield Drive has houses well set back with fences and no property access. The eastern side has no current development but it is understood that the zoning will allow development of the eastern side at which time the speed limit will probably be justified.

The horizontal curve to the south of the crest of the bridge is a further complication that requires the speed limit to be strongly emphasized. Crossing the bridge southbound at high speed will make it difficult to negotiate due to the limited sight distance to the start of the curve.

Since the speed limit is not currently justified, the signs will need further emphasis to ensure drivers see the signs and start to respect the speed limit. It is considered that a speed threshold will help the signs to be clearly visible to drivers and will encourage them to slow down to the speed limit by changing the speed environment.

Conclusion

That the speed limit on Aidanfield Drive is appropriate in its current location but will need the support of a speed threshold to ensure drivers see and respect it.

Awatea Road/Dunbars Road overbridge

Erected Speed Limits

The speed limit on Dunbars Road south of the Awatea Road intersection is 50 km/hr. This speed limit has been carried across the Awatea Road overbridge to about 165 metres north of the Wigram Road intersection where the speed limit changes to 80 km/hr part way around a horizontal curve. Wigram Road west of Dunbars Road has a 70 km/hr speed limit and east of Awatea Road, the speed limit is 80 km/hr.

Discussion

The average speed limit rating calculated for Awatea Road between Dunbars Road and about 100 metres north of Wigram Road was 1.8 which recommends a speed limit of 100 km/hr. This section covers the densest development (the two intersections) which is the most likely to justify a reduced speed limit.

The critical issue to note in this area is the vertical design speed of the overbridge. The Safe Intersection Sight Distance (SISD) from the northern Wigram Road intersection to the top of the overbridge is about 130 metres. To the south at the Dunbars Road intersection, the SISD is about 160 metres. Based on AUSTROADS Part 5 “Intersections at Grade” and allowing for the downgrade towards the intersection, the available sight distance equates to a speed of about 60 km/hr. To ensure the Wigram Road intersection can operate safely, it is very important that the speed environment on the overbridge should be reduced to 60 km/hr regardless of the speed limit imposed. Wigram Road appears to carry a considerable amount of traffic and has obvious potential for further development which will increase the traffic through the intersection further.

Southbound sight distance to the south at Dunbars Road intersection is equivalent to a speed of about 70 km/hr.

There is no roadside development to justify any speed limit reduction from 100 km/hr. However, a 50 km/hr speed limit with an expected 85%ile speed of about 60 km/hr is required to mitigate the restricted sight distance. This will be very difficult to achieve.

On site observations confirmed that traffic speeds on Dunbars Road and across the bridge in both directions were above 50 km/hr in spite of the 50 km/hr speed limit and signs. Speed surveys should be carried out to determine the actual speed profile to confirm the extent of the problem.

Although a fully developed residential road, Dunbars Road south of the bridge has a relatively high speed environment and traffic appears to drive above the speed limit. When northbound drivers from Dunbars Road approach the bridge and leave behind the residential development, it is likely that they will unconsciously increase their speed because they see no reason not to. It is important that these vehicles are slowed down to no more than 60 km/hr because the Wigram Road intersection has SISD suited to no more than 60 km/hr. It is considered that some treatment is required to ensure that drivers do not increase their speed.

To attempt to keep drivers speeds down, it is considered that a speed threshold should be constructed near the Dunbars Road intersection on the approach to the bridge to remind drivers of the speed limit. It is noted that there are 50 km/hr speed limit signs at the top of the overbridge facing these drivers so it appears the issue has been recognized already.

A threshold on its own may not be sufficient to hold traffic speeds. A vertical element such as tall poplar trees should also be planted on both sides of the ramp to the bridge. These would be behind the guardrail so would not present a safety hazard. The trees would have a visual funneling effect which can be effective in creating a lower speed environment where there is no roadside development to support a reduced speed limit.

Trees will take some years to be effective since they will be small and insignificant in the initial years of establishment. Additional treatments may be required to support the speed limit in the meantime. This could include such treatments as using a larger grade 1 or 2 chip north of the threshold on the northbound traffic lane only which creates extra noise within the vehicle and driver discomfort when they pass the threshold causing drivers to become more aware of their surroundings and slow down. The downside to this treatment is that the extra road noise can also be heard by and may annoy local residents. The larger ship would only be required until the trees grew enough to be effective and a subsequent reseal could cover it with a smaller chip.

Marking the speed limit on the road at the threshold would also assist.

From the north, the speed limit change is on a horizontal curve about 165 metres north of Wigram Road. There is again no development between the speed limit change and Dunbars Road to support the 50 km/hr speed limit. It is understood that the site office opposite Wigram Road will be removed after the contract is completed.

Christchurch City Council CSM Speed Limit Review - February 2013

It is considered again that a speed threshold should be constructed at this speed limit change to support the speed limit. However, a speed threshold is difficult to construct safely on a horizontal curve. It is recommended that the speed limit change should be moved south onto the straight closer to the Wigram Road intersection to allow an effective speed threshold to be constructed. Visibility to the right from Wigram Road is good and will need to be maintained.

Because the SISD to Dunbars Road is slightly better, a speed threshold may be all that is required to achieve a reasonable speed result. However, a larger chip seal could be used on this approach with no residents likely to be affected by the increased noise since the bridge itself is a noise buffer to those that could be affected. In time, the trees planted south of the bridge would also provide some impact for the speed environment southbound and the larger ship covered with a smaller chip.

The gazette 50 km/hr speed limit on Dunbars Road currently ends at Wigram Road with Wigram Road carrying a gazette speed limit of 70 km/hr. However, 50/70 signs have been erected on Wigram Road about 64 metres south of Dunbars Road on Wigram Road. The single sided residential development on Wigram Road is consistent with a 70 km/hr speed limit as the current gazette notice states. There is no obvious change in development or speed environment that would justify a speed limit reduction at the location where the speed limit signs are located. Although there is obvious potential for further development of Wigram Road on the western side, this has not occurred yet. It is considered that the speed limit on Wigram Road should be retained at 70 km/hr until the development has begun to occur and the current gazette speed limits retained.

Conclusion

Construct a speed threshold north of but near the Dunbars Road intersection. Plant tall narrow trees such as poplars on both sides of the southern approach to the bridge. Use a larger chip (grade 1 or 2) to generate road noise and discomfort for drivers on the approach to the bridge.

Relocate the speed limit change north of Wigram Road onto the straight closer to Wigram Road and construct a speed threshold at the new location. Use a larger ship on the southbound approach to the bridge.

Retain the speed limit on Wigram Road (south) at 70 km/hr with Dunbars Road at 50 km/hr.

McTeigue Road

Prior to the new motorway construction, McTeigue Road was a through route that linked to Carrs Road. Now it is a short cul de sac of about 350 metres length from Halswell Junction Road. The speed limit on McTeigue Road was 80 km/hr and continues to be 80 km/hr, the same as Halswell Junction Road. The average speed limit rating is 9.8 recommending a speed limit of 70 km/hr.

There are some large industrial properties on McTeigue Road and clear potential for further industrial development. Ultimately, it is likely that the whole of McTeigue Road will be fully developed and will soon become 50 km/hr. In the meantime, it would appear to be sensible to leave the speed limit at 80 km/hr to be consistent with Halswell Junction Road and monitor development rather than reduce to an intermediate speed limit now in the certain knowledge that it will need to be removed again soon. It is unlikely that most vehicles on McTeigue Road would reach 80 km/hr before needing to slow down again. Reducing the speed limit now to 70 km/hr is unlikely to change driver behavior.

Conclusion

Leave the speed limit on McTeigue Road at 80 km/hr but monitor roadside development.

Carrs Road

Similar to McTeigue Road, Carrs Road was a through route that has now been bisected into two cul de sacs by the motorway. The speed limits on Carrs Road were 80 km/hr prior to the motorway construction.

The southern leg of Carrs Road is now about 400 metres long and intersects with Wigram Road. Again, there is obvious potential for further development of properties fronting Carrs Road although there now appears to be a reserve on the western side. Although it cannot be justified under the speed limits rule, it would be sensible to allow Carrs Road south to take the 70 km/hr speed limit of Wigram Road. The average speed limit rating on Carrs Road south is 2.0 which justified a speed limit of 100 km/hr.

Carrs Road north is now a cul de sac of about 450 metres length with an intersection onto Awatea Road. The Awatea Road speed limit is 80 km/hr. The level of development is similar to Awatea Road. The large borrow pit may restrict development on Carrs Road to single sided only. It is considered that this end of Carrs Road should retain the same speed limit as Awatea Road for now. The average rating of 3.5 is sufficient to justify a speed limit of 80 km/hr.

To reduce confusion to residents, one or both of the roads should have their names changed since they are now clearly two separate roads.

Conclusion

Reduce the speed limit on Carrs Road south to 70 km/hr for consistency with Wigram Road.

Retain the speed limit on Carrs Road north at 80 km/hr for consistency with Awatea Road.

Rename one or both of the Carrs Road legs.

Christchurch City Council CSM Speed Limit Review - February 2013

Wigram Road

Wigram Road is now similarly bisected into two separate roads.

Wigram Road south has a cul de sac about 65 metres in length from the Dunbars Road intersection. This section currently carries a speed limit of 70 km/hr consistent with the remainder of Wigram Road south. Because of the current single sided development on Wigram Road south, a speed limit of 70 km/hr is appropriate and should be retained. The average speed limit rating calculated is 7.0 which justifies a speed limit of 70 km/hr.

As development occurs on the northern side of Wigram Road south, the speed limit will clearly change and reduce but there is no current justification for it. See also Dunbars Road in the Awatea Road bridge section.

Wigram Road north of Awatea Road has a speed limit of 80 km/hr. Development is largely unchanged since before the motorway was constructed and no new justification for a reduced speed limit has occurred. The 80 km/hr speed limit should be retained. The average speed limit rating for the first 400 metres east from Awatea Road is 4.5 which recommends a speed limit of 80 km/hr. This is the section that is most likely to justify a speed limit at this end of Wigram Road.

Again, road names should be reconsidered since they are now two distinct roads.

Conclusion

Retain the speed limits on Wigram Road.

Consider new road names for the two ends of Wigram Road.

10. AMYES ROAD - PROPOSED NO STOPPING RESTRICTION AND BUS STOP UPGRADE

General Manager responsible: General Manager City Environment Group, DDI 941-8608 Officer responsible: Transport and Greenspace Unit Manager Author: Steve Dejong – Network Engineer

PURPOSE OF REPORT

1. The purpose of this report is to seek the approval of the Riccarton/Wigram Community Board to install No Stopping Restrictions and a Bus Stop on Amyes Road. (Attachment 1)

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

2. Amyes Road is classified as a collector road in the Christchurch City Plan and this has a dual function of distributing traffic and providing property access. A bus stop shelter and sign are already provided outside 27 Amyes Road (Hope/Presbyterian Church), although the bus stop itself is not marked on the roadway. A bus stop and sign is also located on the opposite side of the road outside 38 Amyes Road. High demand for kerbside parking along Amyes Road occurs during Church services and during pick-up and drop-off periods associated with the adjoining Branston Intermediate School site.

3. The Council have received requests to install a no stopping restriction outside 27 Amyes Road to prevent vehicles parking too close to their driveway.

4. Although the road user rules are clear that motorists should not park their vehicles within six metres of a bus stop sign (if bus stop markings are not present) or within one metre of a driveway access, staff investigations have revealed that attempts are frequently being made to park in locations that are not appropriate. This consequentially restricts visibility for vehicles exiting the church site. It also restricts the ability for bus drivers to manoeuvre in and out of the adjoining bus stop.

5. The solution is to provide no stopping restrictions (broken yellow lines) immediately south-east of the church driveway access, together with the formal marking of a bus stop box. This would serve as a dual purpose – restricting both vehicles being parked close to the driveway access as well as an entry taper for stopping buses. A four metre exit taper would also be provided at the other end of the bus stop box so as to align with the Christchurch City Bus Stop Guidelines 2009. Equivalent bus-stop markings with appropriate entry tapers are also recommended on the opposite side of the road to ensure consistency.

6. The occupiers of both of the properties located directly adjacent to the proposed bus stop (27 and 38 Amyes Road) have been informed of the proposal and no objections have been raised or received.

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS

7. The estimated cost of this proposal is $200.00.

Do the Recommendations of this Report Align with 2013-16 Christchurch City Three Year Plan budgets?

8. The installation of road markings and signs is within the 2013-16 Christchurch City Three Year Plan Streets and Transport Operational Budgets.

LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS

9. Part 1, Clause 5 of the Christchurch City Council Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2008 provides Council with the authority to install parking restrictions by resolution.

10. The Community Boards have delegated authority from the Council to exercise the delegations as set out in the Register of Delegations. The list of delegations for the Community Boards includes the resolution of parking restrictions and traffic control devices.

11. BURDALE STREET - PROPOSED NO STOPPING RESTRICTION

General Manager responsible: General Manager City Environment Group, DDI 941-8608 Officer responsible: Transport and Greenspace Unit Manager Author: Steve Dejong – Network Engineer

PURPOSE OF REPORT

1. The purpose of this report is to seek the Riccarton/Wigram Community Board’s approval to install a No Stopping Restriction in Burdale Street.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

2. The Council has received a complaint from occupiers at 9 Burdale Street that kerbside parking is often blocking their driveway. Accordingly, they have requested the installation of a no stopping restriction outside their property – in much the same manner has been provided on the opposite side of the street.

3. Burdale Street is classified as a local road in the Christchurch City Plan and this has a primary function of providing property access to a mixture of existing residential and business properties. There is high kerbside parking demand along this road and around the surrounding streets – which is partly a result of the recent earthquake activity where western areas of the city have experienced increased commercial activity. This in turn has resulted in high kerbside parking demand and this is particularly noticeable during normal weekday business hours. Owing to the high kerbside parking demand, motorists are making attempts to park vehicles in areas that were never intended for such purposes. This includes an angled section of kerb between 7 and 9 Burdale Street (refer Attachment 1).

4. Staff investigations have revealed that kerbside parking demand is high and at times is compromising safe and unimpeded access to 9 Burdale Street.

5. The solution is to install a no stopping restriction (yellow broken lines) along the kerb-indent outside 9 Burdale Street in much the same manner as has occurred on the opposite side of the road. Owing to remaining short length of kerb space between numbers 9 and 7 Burdale Street, together with Road User Rules requiring vehicles to be parked at least 1 metre from a driveway access, the proposed no stopping restriction will need to extend through to the driveway access of 7 Burdale Street. This will better define where it is illegal for vehicles to park. For enforcement purposes and in order to achieve consistency with line markings on roads, the existing parking restrictions on the opposite (north) side of Burdale Street should also be formally resolved.

6. On 27 May 2013 the occupiers of 9 Burdale Street were informed of the proposal to install broken yellow lines outside their driveway access. No objections were raised or received.

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS

7. The estimated cost of this proposal is $30.00.

Do the Recommendations of this Report Align with 2013-16 Christchurch City Three Year Plan budgets?

8. The installation of road markings and signs is within the 2013-16 Christchurch City Three Year Plan Streets and Transport Operational Budgets.

LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS

9. Part 1, Clause 5 of the Christchurch City Council Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2008 provides Council with the authority to install parking restrictions by resolution.

(a) That the stopping of vehicles currently prohibited on the southern side of Burdale Street commencing at its intersection with Picton Avenue and extending in an easterly direction for 58 metres, be revoked.

(b) That the stopping of vehicles be prohibited at any time on the southern side of Burdale Street commencing at its intersection with Picton Avenue and extending in an easterly direction for 16 metres.

12. COLOMBIA AVENUE PROPOSED - NO STOPPING RESTRICTION

General Manager responsible: General Manager City Environment, DDI 941-8608 Officer responsible: Unit Manager, Transport and Greenspace Author: Steve Dejong, CTOC – Network Engineer

PURPOSE OF REPORT

1. The purpose of this report is to seek the Riccarton/Wigram Community Board’s approval to install No Stopping Restrictions in Columbia Avenue.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

2. Columbia Avenue is a No Exit, local, industrial road. The adjoining land on each side Columbia Avenue is zoned B5 General Industrial. The northern end of Columbia Avenue intersects with Halswell Junction Road (State Highway 76). The northern and southern ends of Columba Avenue are developed, however the central portion is vacant land and is owned by one individual.

3. Columbia Avenue has several bends and a large cul-de-sac turning head. When vehicles are parked close to the bends and cul-de-sac head, this prevents intervisibility between road users causing motorists to cross to the opposite side of the road which is not a safe practice on a blind corner.

4. There is a high percentage of heavy vehicles that use and park in Columbia Avenue. The majority of large vehicles are parked by customers of a heavy vehicle service provider operating from Columbia Avenue.

5. There have been requests to prevent the kerb side parking of heavy vehicles by the means of part time parking restrictions. Staff have investigated this request and do not believe that it is in the interests of the general road user and majority of businesses in the larger area for the following reasons: Columbia Avenue being semi vacant, with low traffic volumes, no through traffic and not parked out by commuter vehicles all day. It is therefore considered the ideal location for this heavy vehicle parking at the present time.

6. Preventing parking in Columbia Avenue would likely shift the parking of heavy vehicles to nearby streets where the demand for kerb side parking already exceeds supply. This would create greater safety implications to the general road user and is likely to initiate the move of some vehicles onto the berms which for the present is not a problem in this area.

7. It is therefore proposed to deal with the immediate safety issues within Columbia Avenue with the installation of No Stopping Restrictions on the bends and the Cul-de sac turning head to prevent parking in these locations (refer Attachment 1). This will give road users in Columbia Avenue sufficient sight lines to approaching vehicles and significantly reduce the likely hood of conflict on this road.

8. The No Stopping Restriction is also proposed along the whole frontage of the Metal Craft property located at the end of the Columbia Avenue. The remaining vacant portion of this property will be developed in August of this year with a large entrance way proposed to exit against their eastern boundary.

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS

9. The cost of this proposal is approximately $400.00.

Do the Recommendations of this Report Align with 2013-16 Christchurch City Three Year Plan budgets?

10. The installation of road markings and signs is within the 2013-16 Christchurch City Three Year Plan Streets and Transport Operational Budgets.

(a) That all existing stopping and parking restrictions located on both sides of Columbia Avenue commencing at its intersection with Halswell Junction Road (State Highway 76) and extending to and including its Cul-de-sac head be revoked.

(b) That the stopping of vehicles be prohibited at all times on the south east side of Columbia Avenue commencing at its intersection with Halswell Junction Road (State Highway 76) and extending in a south westerly direction for a distance of 52 metres.

General Manager responsible: General Manager City Environment Group, DDI 941-8608 Officer responsible: Unit Manager, Transport and Greenspace Author: Steve Dejong, CTOC - Network Engineer

PURPOSE OF REPORT

1. The purpose of this report is to seek the approval of the Riccarton/Wigram Community Board to install No Stopping Restrictions at the intersection of McAlpine Street and Hayton Road.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

2. McAlpine Street is classified as a local road in the Christchurch City Plan and this has a primary function of providing property access to the underlying Business 5 (General Industrial) zoned land. This includes access for all vehicle types. The area is particularly characterised by heavy vehicles which is reflected in the high number of logistics and freight forwarding activities located in the area.

3. The Council has received various complaints regarding increased numbers of kerbside vehicles that are being parked close to the intersection and thereby restricting both access and visibility for other motorists.

4. Staff observations have revealed that there are often cars being parked in close proximity to this intersection which is restricting the tracking-paths for some vehicles – particularly larger truck and trailer units. The desired vehicle path is evidenced by historical tyre marks on the seal – which are now often obstructed by the kerbside parking demand. These kerbside vehicles are also restricting visibility for other motorists, particularly those turning from McAlpine Street onto Hayton Road.

5. A review of the New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) Crash Analysis System reveals two recorded crashes at this intersection over the past five year period. Although these did not result in injury, both had crash factors related to parked vehicles and visibility.

6. Installing No Stopping Restrictions around the intersection kerbs will improve both the visibility and the necessary tracking curve, particularly for heavy vehicles with trailer units (refer Attachment 1). Although the other nearby bends of McAlpine Street have recently been marked with no stopping restrictions, unrestricted parking would remain on the straight sections of McAlpine Street.

7. Both of the immediately adjacent corner properties have been informed of the proposal and have large and ample on-site car parking resources and therefore will not be affected by the proposed no stopping restriction. Kerbside parking remains freely available on the straight portions of McAlpine Street and Hayton Road.

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS

8. The estimated cost of this proposal is $60.00.

Do the Recommendations of this Report Align with 2013-16 Christchurch City Three Year Plan?

9. The installation of road markings and signs is within the 2013-16 Christchurch City Three Year Plan Streets and Transport Operational Budgets.

LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS

10. Part 1, Clause 5 of the Christchurch City Council Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2008 provides Council with the authority to install parking restrictions by resolution.

Not only are Riccarton Community Church working with the two 2009/10 - $800 (Street Party) SGF Student Associations and the Neighbourhood Policing Team, but they are also about to meet with the Fire Service in regards to this project. Keep Christchurch Beautiful and Riccarton Rotary have been approached to fund other costs such as volunteer recognition (a workers' barbecue). Project organisers have been working with other community members who have pledged their time and resources for the project. The biggest hurdle to enabling the project has been the disposal fees for the furniture. Council was approached to waiver the disposal fees however this is not possible. This initiative is very encouraging in the fact that students are leading the elimination of an issue that they had in the past been proactive in creating. This project aligns with the Council's Strengthening Communities Strategy in that it is encouraging students to take ownership of their local community, it enhances the safety of the local community and it features strong collaboration amongst organisations. It aligns with the Council's Litter Strategy in that it is encouraging pride in the city by taking personal responsibility for not littering streets.

Villa Maria's Con Brio Chorale is one of those eighteen choirs. Each competing choir is required to present a ten minute recital. In that recital, three songs must be performed from three set criteria, one of which is of New Zealand/Pasifika composition.

4. The goals of the Big Sing are to enable choirs to perform in a supportive yet professional setting, to foster excellence in performance and repertoire and to encourage enjoyment in singing.

5. The eleven students as listed below all live in the Riccarton/Wigram ward; Harriet Johnstone aged 17 from Avonhead Lauren Bannister aged 17 from Avonhead Tirangi Skerrett aged 17 from Sockburn Lauren Shamy aged 17 from Ilam Bridie Sisson aged 17 from Avonhead Viana Ta aged 17 from Upper Riccarton Maggie Worthington aged 17 from Upper Riccarton Amelia Young aged 15 from Upper Riccarton Six of the girls were in last year's choir
