Seeking views on the proposed approach for Katoa, Ka Ora -  Speed Management Plan for Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland 2024-2027

 

Resolution number PPK/2023/49

MOVED by Chairperson B Catchpole, seconded by Deputy Chairperson J Robinson:  

That the Papakura Local Board:

a) provide the following views on the proposed approaches for development of Katoa, Ka Ora a Speed Management Plan for Auckland

 

Approach

Detail

Papakura Local Board views

Approach One

An easy-to-understand approach

Includes:

 

·       treating blocks of roads/ local road areas to ensure consistent speed limits across the same types of roads e.g., similar urban residential roads don’t have limits of 30, 40 and 50 km/h in adjacent streets

 

 

·       matching the speed limit to the use and design of the road, i.e. slower speeds for areas that have higher amounts of people walking and cycling such as residential roads, near schools and/or town centres, and for roads that are designed for lower speeds

 

The board supports an approach to reduce speed limits in other areas where there are high concentrations of people, such as cultural and religious facilities so that they are treated in the same manner as schools, eg:  Papakura Marae, Churches, Gurdwara Sikh Temple, community facilities, sports fields etc (25 May 2022 resolution i) PPK/2022/83).

 

In relation to Papakura Marae the board requests that a 40kph flashing speed limit sign be installed that the marae can activate at their busy times.

 

The board believes reducing speed limits on main arterial roads from 50 kph to 30kph potentially creates a hazard with drivers constantly looking at speedometers rather than focussing on the road.

 

 

·       filling in ‘gaps’ so there are not small pockets of untreated roads which is inconsistent for drivers

 

 

 

·       treating roads that could be rat runs, e.g., drivers take short cuts through local residential streets or traffic is pushed from one road to another.

 

 

Approach Two

A high benefit cost ratio approach, proposing methods that provide higher return on investment.

Includes:

·       permanent changes for local roads

 

 

 

·       variable changes at school gates for arterial roads (high movement roads) and high-speed rural roads

 

The board believes the optimum is for flashing signs for speed reduction in front of schools during school hours, with zero tolerance for vehicles travelling at 50kph, rather than a permanent reduction of the speed limit on main arterials and rural roads.

 

 

·       changes for high-risk roads, or town centres on high-risk roads where support has been identified from previous engagement

 

Support 30kph in the Papakura town centre and Arion Road, Takanini, as traffic travels at a low speed anyway.

 

·       complementing planned infrastructure or developments, e.g. new housing areas.

Support the approach to include any new roads that appear within the boundaries of areas that already have reduced speed limits, so that they also have reduced speed limits to ensure consistency in an area.

(board resolution e) 25 May 2022)

 

Tailored approaches

Approach Three

An approach that is responsive to requests from partners and communities for specific speed limit reductions. These include requests from mana whenua, local boards, schools and community groups.

 

Support an approach that is responsive to requests. 

 

Airfield Road, Papakura, is a rural road becoming an urbanised area. Holy Trinity Catholic School has raised safety concerns about traffic turning into and out of the school. 

 

Requests from community groups, schools, individuals, etc. may need to be tested against wider views of road users.

 

Approach Four

An approach that covers a high percentage of roads in the local board area for this phase of the programme.

 

 

Approach Five

An approach that implements approved changes early in the local board area for this phase of the programme.

 

 

 

 

b)         reiterates the requests for Auckland Transport to investigate:

i)               the installation of a flashing school zone sign on Walters Road between Cosgrave Road and Grove Road (25 May 2022 resolution a) PPK/2022/83).

ii)             the traffic speeds on Walters Road from Grove Road to Battalion Drive (25 May 2022 resolution e) PPK/2022/83).

iii)            options to slow traffic in Gosper Road, Waiata Shores, between Brylee Drive and Te Napi Drive, as traffic is speeding up after Brylee Drive (25 May 2022 resolution f) PPK/2022/83).

iv)            options for slowing traffic in the roading precinct bounded by Clevedon Road, Settlement Road, Dominion Road and Marne Road, which includes Scott Road and Kelvin Road (25 May 2022 resolution g) PPK/2022/83).

v)             the installation of a flush median lane to allow traffic to safely turn right into the Holy Trinity School on Airfield Road. (25 May 2022 resolution h) PPK/2022/83).

Local Crime Fund

 

Resolution number PPK/2023/50

MOVED by Chairperson B Catchpole, seconded by Member G Hawkins:  

That the Papakura Local Board:

a)      whakarite / provide the following feedback on the preferred option for distribution of the Local Crime Fund:

i)      The board’s preferred option is Option One (Local board allocation – spend on local safety and youth initiatives), as due to budget constraints the board is unable to continue part-funding of local safety initiatives:

 

·       the Papakura Business Association partnership including:

o   the Papakura Safety Co-ordinator role

o   the monitoring of the CCTV cameras role

 

·     the board is likely to have to significantly reduce funding to:

o   Neighbourhood support

o   Crimewatch.

 

ii)      The funding formula should include growth, deprivation and population, or be evenly split across all local boards.

 

iii)    If the Governing Body was to decide on using options 2, 3 and 4, then the board requests that the scope of those options is broadened to allow coverage of the safety initiatives mentioned above that the local board can no longer partially fund.

 

iv)    The board notes this is a one-off funding opportunity and that these organisations will still need to make plans for responding to ongoing local board and governing body budget shortfalls.
