Resolution
number MR/2022/31
MOVED by Chairperson J Allan, seconded by Member R
McLean:
That
the Manurewa Local Board:
a) provide
the following feedback on the introduction of an interim Auckland Speed
Management Plan:
i)
the board is in
full support of the Vision Zero road safety policy and its aim that there
will be no deaths or serious injuries on our transport system by 2050. We
have been a consistent champion for reducing rates of death and serious
injury due to motor vehicles (DSI) on Manurewa roads
ii)
Outcome Four of the
Manurewa Local Board Plan 2020, ‘Our safe and accessible network
provides transport options to meet community needs,’ includes the key initiative ‘Continue working with AT
to improve road safety and slow traffic throughout Manurewa, in line with
Vision Zero principles’
iii)
road safety
projects on which the board has partnered with Auckland Transport, including
speed calming area treatments and raised pedestrian crossings around schools,
have had a positive effect and DSI rates in Manurewa have reduced as a result
iv)
the board believes
that encouraging safer speeds on our roads is needed to protect vulnerable
road users and address suppressed demand for active mode routes
v)
the board supports
lowering speed limits and installing raised pedestrian crossings around all
schools, both to increase pedestrian safety and to encourage increased usage
of active mode transport
vi)
the board requests
that, where speed limits are lowered, appropriate signage and infrastructure
needed to ensure compliance with the speed limits is installed
b) provide the following list of roads within the
local board area that should be reviewed when staff develop the proposed plan:
i) all roads
contained within the Jellicoe Quadrant Residential Speed Management area (the
roads bounded by Russell Road, Browns Road, Great South Road and Weymouth
Road)
ii) all roads
contained in the area bounded by Orams Road, Great South Road, Hill Road and
State Highway One
iii) roads in the
area surrounding the following schools:
A)
Alfriston College
B)
Clayton Park School
C)
Hillpark School
D)
Homai School
E)
Manurewa High School
F)

Browns Road, Manurewa, adjacent to the BLENNZ Homai Campus
G)
