Presland:
That the Waitākere
Ranges Local Board:
a) receive
Auckland Transport’s update for March 2019.
b) provides
the following feedback on the proposed Speed Limits Bylaw 2019:

supports the proposed Speed Limits Bylaw 2019

speed limits in town centres to 30 km/h

notes that Auckland Transport is
currently analyzing feedback on proposed safety improvements to West Coast
and Captain Scott Road that includes reducing the speed limit in Glen Eden
Town Centre to 30km/h.
vi)
supports 30 km/h around schools.
Safer rural roads
vii) supports reducing speed limits on the following rural roads:
|
Road
|
Rationale for
speed reduction
|
|
Candia Road, Swanson
|
This is a busy rural road that is used
by trucks, buses and cars as a short cut to and from Swanson. It is narrow
and winding road with no footpath or berm over much of its length so there
is a risk to pedestrians who are having to walk in close proximity to
traffic. Residents recently submitted a petition to Auckland Council via
the local board.
|
viii) notes that the lack of pedestrian amenity on rural roads is a
significant safety concern for many rural residents in the Waitakere
Ranges. We ask for a report back on the issues and options.
Local Policy
Context
ix)
request that Auckland Transport take
into account the policies, objectives and actions for speed reduction and
making rural roads safer in the Local Area Plans for Te Henga and Waitakere
River Valley; Muddy Creeks (Waima, Woodlands Park, Parau and Laingholm); Henderson
Valley / Opanuku; Oratia; and Waiatarua (refer Attachment A)
