Horopaki / Context

Federal Street to get spotty makeover

3. Polka dots are coming to Federal Street as part of a creative solution to make walking and cycling safer between Victoria and Fanshawe Streets. Auckland Transport will install polka dots along sections of the road to make the street safer for pedestrians and bike riders, until a permanent upgrade of the road is done. The polka dots are intended to create a slower, safer environment as they are unexpected by drivers and encourage people to slow down. A contra-flow cycle lane will allow bike riders to ride in the uphill/opposite direction on the one-way street.

4. Once it is installed in late March, Auckland Transport will ask for feedback from users to make improvements to the interim design and evaluate how it works. This is to see how people experience them and get accurate feedback from people on foot, bike, driving cars as well as the surrounding business owners. Changes to improve the safety of the design will be made based on the feedback received.

5. Projects like the Federal Street upgrade allow Auckland Transport to try something new and see how it works before we commit to a permanent solution, and it gives people a more attractive and safe area to walk and cycle around.

6. This initial project will:

· include a protected south-bound (up Federal Street) ‘contra-flow’ cycle lane, allowing people cycling to travel in the opposite direction to traffic on Federal Street.

· improve pedestrian facilities in the lower section of Federal Street through upgraded footpath surfacing, road marking and signage.

· offer people walking and cycling an easy north/south route through central Auckland, providing an alternative to Hobson Street and Albert Street.

· provide a link in the City Centre Cycle Network to the Nelson Street Cycleway, via the future Victoria Street Cycleway.

· take an approach that is low-cost and quick to install.

· give AT an opportunity to better understand people’s preferences for separated cycle lanes, which will inform future city centre development projects.

7. Given Federal Street’s relatively low traffic speeds and volume, people cycling north-bound can do so in the general traffic lane, guided by “sharrows” - road markings designed to guide cyclists and alert motorists to their presence.

Other projects

8. The table below has a general summary of projects and activities of interest to the board with their current status. Please note that all timings are indicative and are subject to change:

Project	Current Status
Park Road Busway - bus priority improvements on Park Road between Grafton Bridge and the Hospital entrance	AT has been engaging with key stakeholders on the Park Road project. Traffic management outside the new University medical facility conflicts with construction of the proposed improvements and is likely to delay the project until 2020. Public consultation has been put on hold until we confirm with the University the earliest date that construction could proceed.
Northwestern busway – proposed rapid transit corridor from City to West Auckland	With a greater emphasis on Light Rail being looked at by the new government, we are continuing to finish off the current busway business case work but are expecting to need to update it once the new central government transport policy direction is formalised. Anticipated public consultation has therefore been delayed, as the wider context is still not yet clear. We have draft consultation material and hope to make speedy progress on public engagement once the central government approach in known.
Wellesley Street Bus Improvement Project (formerly Midtown bus route) – improving how city centre buses operate	The Project reached a milestone late last year in the confirmation of Wellesley St as the corridor for bus movements (leaving Victoria St free to be developed as a linear park) and including the requirement for an off-street bus interchange in Grafton Gully. The project has completed an Indicative Business Case (IBC) to secure funding to enter into the Detailed Business Case (DBC) phase. The scope for this DBC has been completed and will be released to the market in March for commencement in May. The work involves more detailed design concepts, operational assessments, economic evaluation and commercial considerations. Further work is being undertaken into the potential to integrate the bus interchange into the surrounding Learning Quarter campus, as well as how best to provide for the East-West cycling connection and future integration with light rapid transit on Queen St.
Quay Street East Bus Project (formerly the Downtown bus project) - a new set of bus stops and associated kerbside infrastructure on Quay St East to enable the rollout of the Central New Bus Network.	This project has reached an agreed location and form, once integration with surrounding projects was confirmed – in particular the Quay St seawall upgrade, Quay St streetscape improvements and related private or CRLL works on nearby streets. The project is currently being coordinated with those interdependent projects into a Council-led programme of works for the Downtown area, and it is expected more information on the likely timeline and tasks will be known shortly. Whilst the location of the bus facility is agreed, there is further work to be undertaken on design, consultation and consenting, including work with adjoining stakeholders such as Cooper and Company and Ports of Auckland.
Federal Street Upgrade Stage 2 - between Mayoral Drive and Wellesley Street, incorporating improved lighting, signage, street furniture and planting.	Public consultation ran from November – December 2017, and much of the feedback showed support for the proposed improvements. Of the 73 submissions received over 80per cent were positive. Negative feedback included constructive suggestions for improvements to the design, many from people living locally. These will be incorporated into the final design where possible. AT’s Engagement Team are currently working through submissions, and will compile a public report summarising all feedback received, outlining key changes to the design and providing construction timelines.
Parnell residential parking zone - proposed permit scheme for residents and businesses	Consultation closed in December 2017 and we have received 426 responses including 2 submissions from Parnell Business Association and Parnell community group. Analysis of all the feedback is in progress at the moment.
Arch Hill residential parking zone – proposed permit scheme for residents and businesses.	Public consultation is now closed, the project team has sought the Board’s feedback and the results are being analysed.
Grey Lynn parking scheme - proposed permit scheme for residents and businesses	Public consultation is now closed, the project team has sought the Board’s feedback and the results are being analysed.
Nelson St cycleway phase 3 – a bi-directional cycleway from Nelson Street to Quay Street	Public consultation closed on the 1st of October and the project team has sought the Board’s feedback. The project team is delaying making any decision on the proposal. This is due to streetscape improvement opportunities presented as a result of the consultation process for Market Place and Custom Street West. They are currently exploring the opportunity further and will report back on what changes can be expected for Market Place and Customs Street, alongside the process and timing for delivering the project. At this stage there will be no substantive change to the Lower Hobson layout. They will be back in touch with submitters and other key stakeholders as soon as a decision has been reached.
Grafton residential parking zone - proposed permit scheme for residents and businesses	The public feedback report is complete and published on Auckland Transport’s website. Next step will be to prepare the report for Traffic Control Committee approval, this is aimed to implement by March/April 2018.
Parnell cycleway – proposed cycleway through Parnell	Options development is currently underway. This is based on the concepts discussed and agreed with the Community Reference Group. Discussions are underway with the Local Board and Community Reference Group. Analysis to identify the preferred option by March 2018
Tamaki Drive (Plumer St to Ngapipi Rd) · Segment 1 – Quay Street (Plumer to The Strand, currently under construction) · Segment 2 – Tamaki Drive (Quay Street to Solent Street) · Segment 3 - Tamaki Drive (Solent Street to Ngapipi Road bridge)	1: Construction of this project started on 8 January and is planned to be completed by the end of June. The project team has been in discussion with the board to look at “greening options.” They estimate they will be able to report on any changes to the construction programme to accommodate this additional work by mid-March. Segment 2 and segment 3are scheduled for June 18 2018
Herne Bay cycling and walking improvements – proposed changes to encourage slower driving speeds and improve routes for people walking and cycling.	Currently in detailed design, which is expected to be complete in June 2018. Construction is now scheduled to begin late 2018.
Pt Chev to Westmere cycleway - future requirements for the midtown east-west public transport corridor and Learning Quarter.	Currently in detailed design.
Victoria Street East-West cycleway - dedicated cycle route along Victoria Street West, from the Beaumont Street intersection to the Hobson Street intersection.	Currently in detailed design. Construction scheduled July 2018
Federal Street Contra Flow Cycle Lane - an interim cycle lane proposed for Federal Street linking Fanshawe Street to Victoria Street until the full Federal Street Upgrade occurs.	Construction is taking place from the 1^st to 25th March. Following construction of the interim facilities there will be a consultative process from mid-March lasting 8-12 weeks.
Route 4 of Waitemata Safer Routes. Improvements for pedestrians, people on bikes and bus users for the section of Great North Road between Crummer Road and Ponsonby Road.	Currently in detailed design.
Parnell Station link – pedestrian link from the Station to Carlaw Park	The building consent has been approved and details around privacy screen resolved with stakeholders. Construction is now underway. Site clearance has been completed and earthworks at the University end of the walk has commenced. Planned completion of walkway is June 2018.
Newmarket crossing project – a bridge to replace the rail crossing, linking Laxon Terrace with nearby Cowie Street.	Construction commenced on the 11 December 2017. Progressing well with bridge abutments close to completion.
Franklin Road upgrade - upgrades to improve the road quality and future-proof existing services.	Co-ordination with the Pride Parade went well. Wellington Street road closure is in progress and then will switch to western side and the England Street closure in the coming weeks Planning is in progress for speed table works / threshold treatments for delivery March - May 2018
Waitemata safe routes - improvements for pedestrians, people on bikes, and bus users on 4 routes in the wider Grey Lynn area.	Route 2: Richmond Road is currently under review. Physical work is approximately 60 per cent complete and as far as possible hold-points have been achieved where the road can continue to function acceptably until the review process can inform the continuation of the work. It is anticipated that the review process will take 4-6 months before physical works continues.
Ponsonby Road pedestrian improvements - improvements for pedestrians along Ponsonby Road (and 8 side streets) between Lincoln Street and Pollen Street.	The final section on Collingwood St is now complete.

Summary:

The pamphlet attached is the first of a series of interactive 'pamphlets' designed to provide information about award winning landscapes in and around the Auckland area. O1 - Wynyard Quarter highlights the landscapes that define the quarter and act as a catalyst for change in the area. O2 - Westhaven will focus on the pedestrianised landscape that encourages interaction with the marine environment. Each 'pamphlet' may be downloaded to a portable device or printed as an A4 foldable sheet with general information and mapping on the front and information specific to each site on the back. As part of this project we hope to engage Council in hosting the information as part of its what to do in Auckland promotions.

Workshops will provide opportunity for up to 36 young people to benefit from participating in music-based weekly recreational outlet with opportunities for community performance. New 'Groove Band' will be an extension opportunity for more experienced Jammers to graduate to from StarJam's other workshops, providing motivation and possibility for musical progression and extension within StarJam organisation.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

In our three Waitemata workshops, up to 36 young Aucklanders with disabilities will:

1) learn music and personal skills, get active, make friends and build confidence through a shared interest in music.

2) participate in and bring value to the cultural life of their community and show audiences what young people with disabilities can achieve.

3) strengthen families by providing a creative outlet for young family members rendered isolated and inactive by disability (many choose StarJam because they have never found a suitable affordable recreational facility prior, that meets their interests and capabilities).

4) be motivated to set goals outside and beyond StarJam.

1) by numbers of participants and attendance rates at each session.

2) by written feedback reports from the tutors (a requirement for all StarJam tutors).

3) by observations by the Regional Programme Coordinator, who visits all workshop 2 - 3 times/ term to observe musical/personal progress, behaviour and interaction between Jammers/tutors/volunteers and to gather and give feedback to tutors, volunteers, parents/carers and Jammers.

4) by audience reaction and feedback at community performances.

5) by feedback from the Jammers themselves: how they feel about their own progress and experience in their respective workshops.

Alignment with local board priorities:

· our communities can participate fully in community life

· people are more active in local arts, events and recreation activities

Priority 1) Community Life:

a) StarJam offers inclusiveness to young people isolated by/inactive due to disability - many have minimal prior involvement in community life (nature of disability/behaviour/health problems/accessibility/cost).

StarJam:

b) weekly community outlet in accessible neighbourhood locations.

c) brings participants to audiences (not vice versa), contributing to community life.

d) participates in both mainstream/disability community events.

d) cost-accessible: commitment to staying donation only.

Priority 2) Local Arts/Events/Recreation:

a) StarJam: weekly workshop goal: to perform in community cultural events.

b) Most Jammers perform in 3-4 public performances/year; all participate in regional end-of-year concert.

b) Learn musical routines from variety of genre/cultures.

Increasing student awareness of and engagement with issues surrounding sustainability,

Our school is beginning to make the journey towards greater awareness of issues surrounding sustainability and waste.

The school has formed a sustainability group at the end of 2017. This was the first major project the group suggested.

We would also like to promote our journey towards sustainability as our school entry in the Young Reporters for the Environment competition.

Reduction in landfill waste generation. Measured by waste audit at the end of Term 1, and comparison with Term 3 2017.

Increased student awareness and engagement in issues surrounding sustainability.

Recording our journey would provide material for our entry into the Young Environment Reporters competition 2018.

Alignment with local board priorities:

· waste is minimised as we work towards zero waste to landfill by 2040

· support community-led initiatives and action

We are engaged in a significant project to reduce levels of waste at St. Peter's. It is important that the project be student driven and student led as they are the ones who will inherit the environment we are all now creating.

This is an opportunity for the students to engage with their environmental footprint and take steps to reduce it.

Project: Upgrading studio and dressing room lights

Location:

TAPAC, 100 Motions Road, Western Springs, Auckland

Summary:

In October last year, Waitematā Local Board generously funded key electrical repair work at TAPAC. This included replacing four electrical switchboard chassis; replacing dim and unsafe lighting in Studios 1 and 3 with LEDs; installing timers on the four studio air-conditioning units; and replacing the fluorescent bulbs in one of the theatre dressing rooms, which were no longer fit for purpose, with LEDs.

These repairs have hugely improved the quality of lighting in these spaces and reduced the costs of running them. We now need to carry out the same lighting work in Studios 2 and 4 to make them safer and bring them up to a professional standard, and the remaining dressing room to make it fit for purpose.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

Participating in the arts helps promote healthier, more connected communities. TAPAC exists to provide accessible, affordable programmes to encourage people to engage with the performing arts.

It’s vital to maintain safe, professional, well-equipped facilities. The current lighting in Studios 2 and 4 does not meet these requirements. They’re dark and gloomy, which makes them not only uninspiring spaces to develop your craft, but also potentially unsafe.

Good lighting in dressing rooms is essential for enabling performers to apply makeup, prepare and check their costumes. The current lighting does not meet these requirements.

Replacing the lights in these spaces with bright, economical LED lighting will improve the safety and experience for everyone, as well as being more environmentally-friendly and cost-effective.

We monitor outcomes based on usage of the facility. So, we keep records on the number of community users, the number of classes, participants and tutors, the utilisation of the space by the Western Springs College dance and drama students, the number of theatre performances and tickets sold.

As a not-for-profit organisation with a remit to provide accessible performing arts programmes to the community at affordable costs, we also closely monitor our expenditure. Changes such as these to new lighting can make a significant cost-saving in the long-term.

Alignment with local board priorities:

· people are more active in local arts, events and recreation activities

· we have places for children and people to gather, be active and be involved

Over 110,000 people come to TAPAC every year, attending everything from dance classes to cultural performances and film festivals. We have over 2,200 classes going on throughout the year and a range of theatre performances.

We have a multitude of community organisations that rely on TAPAC for rehearsal, performance and social spaces, from Marvellous, a theatre group for the over 60s, to Afro-Fusion dancers, to StarJam, who provide performance opportunities for children with disabilities.

Professional-quality, safe facilities that are a pleasure to spend time in are key to supporting these groups and encouraging their members to engage in the arts.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

An engaged community that is equipped with the skills and knowledge to enhance their day to day living, their communities and our city will be achieved through accessible learning of proven practices to reduce the effects of urban living on the environment.

Increased awareness surrounding consumption and disposal of excess and unwanted materials, increased knowledge of gardening, household, creating and sustaining practices in a social workshop environment all contribute to the Waitemata Local Boards vision of a more vibrant and connected community.

Our local community are increasingly interested in our Sustainable Urban Living Workshops, with rising registration numbers in our current round, there is a definite need and desire in the community for education of this nature. The objectives of each workshop innately have an impact on our urban eco-system, where there are already ways and systems in place to live sustainably, the knowledge of how to take advantage and use these systems effectively is the only missing link to a sustainable urban future.

Alignment with local board priorities:

· work towards Waitematā becoming a low-carbon community

· waste is minimised as we work towards zero waste to landfill by 2040

Through education on topics regarding waste minimization, self-sustaining practices and

mindful use and care for the natural resources that Auckland provides.

Project: LGBT Yoga Workshops

Location:

Ellen Melville Centre, Auckland Central

Summary:

A series of six workshops with professional yoga instructor Brigid Costello for the LGBTIQ community. These workshops will create a space for LGBTIQ people to explore basic yoga practise in a safe and supportive environment and develop the basic skills necessary to continue yoga practice in their own time/space.

Dates:

People attending:

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

Community feedback (for both LGBT and general community yoga indicatives) has found that practising yoga provides a significant increase in the positive physical and mental wellbeing of participants. However, yoga is often also inaccessible to LGBTQ+ people both due to financial limitations and barriers within a studio environment (e.g. staff or other patrons not understanding or welcoming of LGBT people). Our classes will give participants the opportunity to learn basic yoga and wellbeing principles in a safe and LGBT specific context and apply these to their daily lives. These classes will be explicitly body/sexuality/gender positive and provide a supportive community and real-life skills to those involved. Please refer to the articles cited in the additional info.

We will provide a shared morning tea after each class to facilitate socialisation, and also be able to gather feedback from attendees. We will also provide feedback forms both half way through the series and at the end of the series to better understand participant’s experience. Behaviours that we will be looking for in these feedback sessions will include whether or not participants feel that they have learnt skills throughout the project that they can use outside the workshop, whether they personally perceive an improvement in their physical wellbeing throughout the period, and whether they will continue with yoga, or other forms of exercise etc. in the future.

Alignment with local board priorities:

· Support events reflecting diverse communities

· people are more active in local arts, events and recreation activities

This event is aimed at LGBTIQ+ communities, who are often unable to participate in mainstream recreational events. This event will be fully accessible, both financially and by providing a wheelchair accessible venue, with variations of each pose and activity to suit those of all abilities. This not only supports our diverse communities, but actively engages a marginalised community in local recreational activity in the Waitematā area.

Project: Deaf Wellbeing Arts and Craft Coordinator

Location:

Melville Cricket Pavilion, Gillies Avenue

Summary:

A community centre for the Deaf, where art and craft projects are taught using volunteer art teachers and using volunteer New Zealand Sign Language interpreters. Giving the Deaf community the access to arts and crafts that they may not have had the opportunity to experience due to language barriers and teaching them in a Deaf friendly environment.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

By providing a Deaf friendly art and craft class we will be able to allow the Auckland Deaf community to experience and express themselves artistically. Give them the opportunity to try something new that language barriers may have prevented them from trying. Our Deaf people will feel safe being in a Deaf environment and will be able to participate in their community group fully. Young Deaf people will have the opportunity to be teachers of certain art class themes and to see Deaf role models in action.

When we started the Deaf Wellbeing Cooking Club 5 years ago we started with 10 Deaf attendees. Last October at our 5th anniversary we had over 45 people attend with hundreds now following us on face book.

The art and craft classes success will be measured by attendee numbers and quarterly surveys (we do this with the cooking club).

This means that the attendees have an opportunity to voice their views.

Many Deaf Auckland have been asking for this art and craft class in NZSL for a while. We see a need for this in the community.

Alignment with local board priorities:

· support community-led initiatives and action

· people are more active in local arts, events and recreation activities

We must hold our centre in a central location. Deaf Aucklanders are spread throughout Auckland and there is not the funds or resources to hold our Deaf Wellbeing Centre in every area. Deaf need to feel valued and empowered. Our Deaf Wellbeing Centre will create opportunities for the Deaf to experience new forms of arts and crafts. Allow them to express themselves through art. Our art teachers come from a wide range of ethnic backgrounds and are volunteers. Our NZSL interpreters are year 3 AUT volunteer students that require real life experience. Expose and celebrate our Deaf culture.

Requesting grant for:

We have funding from Maungakiekie- Tamaki local board for venue hire until 01/06/18. Then Albert/Eden have granted us funding for venue hire until December 2018. We request funding towards a coordinator for the art and craft lessons. Ideally, we would like to employ a Deaf coordinator for 8 hours a week but are requesting 2 hours per week from Waitemata. (the rest we will apply for from other local boards)

If full amount requested is not able to be funded:

Employing a disabled person to help other disabled people is a positive situation. It does not only help the disabled individual earn a living through independence, but it encourages all other disabled people by providing a role model and leader. If we could only get partial funding it would be most beneficial to be put towards a salary.

Cost of participation:

Entry to the class will be $5 this is to cover morning tea.

Project: Are We There Yet - Senior & Youth Dance Collaboration with AWMM

Location:

Auckland War Memorial Museum - Performance; Subud Hall, Pt Chev - Rehearsals; Wellesley Studios - Rehearsals

Summary:

A collaborative performance opportunity for seniors and youth in our community which responds to an upcoming exhibition on women's equality in Aotearoa at the Auckland War Memorial Museum (AWMM). The project engages two key demographics of our community - seniors and young people - providing an opportunity to perform in front of the public.

Together with NZDC's Feisty Feet senior dance programme leader Kerry-Ann Stanton, participating seniors will choreograph a work that incorporates their understanding of the women rights and equality stance in Aotearoa alongside with young dancers from the NZDC Winter Seasonal School programme. The estimated 30 dancers will collaborate and rehearse over a course of 12 weeks to deliver a performance that is symbolic of our history and cultural identity.

- Participating senior and young dancers feel a sense of empowerment and inclusion within the wider community

- The performance is free, open to the public and therefore benefits the wider population of the Waitematā community

- Contributing to the diversity and vibrancy of Auckland and further, to Auckland Council's goal of becoming the World's Most Liveable City.

- Promoting dialogue and forging relationships between seniors and youth by finding common ground in interpreting women's footsteps throughout the history of Aotearoa and performing together.

- To educate the public as to how far New Zealand has come in achieving equality, while asking the question 'Are We There Yet?' to provoke thoughts and community discourse on the progression of the equality movement in New Zealand.

We have an established practice of obtaining feedback from students and teachers at schools we attend, measuring outcomes such as:

- did the performance/workshop introduce you to new ways of thinking?

- did you build your confidence through the workshop?

- did this experience affect you positively?

This feedback is collated and recorded following the conclusion of this project, and considered along with the outcomes from a debrief with the dancers, AWMM staff and audiences. These outcome measures are then used to evaluate the effectiveness of the programmes we have delivered and establish what, if anything, we could do differently.

We will stay connected with participants and grow the relationships to ensure future performances are beneficial for both participants and the community.

Alignment with local board priorities:

· our distinctive heritage and historic places is promoted and preserved

· develop and encourage community participation

This project is intended as an extension of NZDC's regular Senior classes and Youth Winter School to provide a collaborative performance opportunity. Both groups will come together to commemorate women of Aotearoa with the performance 'Are We There Yet?' to compliment the exhibition of the same name at The Auckland War Memorial Museum.

Promoting SmokeFree:

Breath is vital to life and vital to dance. Our dancers are excellent role models to students and demonstrate the connection between health and happiness in our post show Q & A sessions.

Our dancers will explain how smoking negatively impacts on fitness levels to the young students in the workshops. We will also happily take on any advice from Auckland Council workers on how we can best promote smoke-free messages.
