Arakura Local Area Traffic Management (22/764) Memorandum dated 28 March 2022 by the Traffic Engineering Manager |
|
|
The Traffic Engineering Manager elaborated on the report. He advised Council would be engaging with the public on the proposed changes to traffic management via Council’s ‘Have Your Say’ webpage. He highlighted he would use social media posts and local newspapers to advertise the consultation. He added immediate residents would receive a letter-drop with information on the proposed changes and ways to give feedback. He confirmed the consultation process would take place from 26 April 2022 for three weeks with installation of the speed cushions tentatively scheduled for between September and December 2022. In response to questions from members, the Traffic Engineering Manager explained the traffic management changes had been triggered by increased safety risks and more development in Wainuiomata. He noted the distance between the speed cushions had been optimised at 300m to avoid traffic speeding up and slowing down in between. He added the cushions were made in a way that would not impact public transport but would slow smaller vehicles travelling at excessive speed. The Head of Transport advised that safety was now a key focus for Council’s Transport team. The Chair noted the consultation was an opportunity for the Board to encourage residents to submit feedback. |
