Member P O'Shea, seconded by Member L Caine:
That the Aotea / Great Barrier Local Board:
a) whiwhi
/ receive the September 2024 quarterly update on the Kōkiri / Local
Board Transport Agreement 2024-2025.
b) list
the following feedback in regards to the proposed speed limit reductions
being introduced under the ‘alternative method’ being a
whole-of-island base limit of 60 kph, with a 40 kph limit in areas with high
pedestrian activity:
i)
tuhi
ā-taipitopito / note that
the local board and community have been advocating for safer speed measures
since 2014 which resulted in the lowering of speeds around the schools and
marae
ii) tuhi ā-taipitopito / note local board and community support for the
introduction of speed limits through the Auckland Transport Katoa Ka Ora
speed management programme consultation (recorded on the 24 October 2023
business meeting agenda resolution # GBI/2023/110)
iii) tuhi ā-taipitopito / note that the rollout of the Katoa Ka Ora
programme was placed on hold due to central government consulting in June
2024 on the Draft Land Transport Rule: Setting of Speed Limits 2024 which
proposed seven changes included variable speed limits around schools and the
reversal of many speed limits that may have been reduced since 2020
iv) tuhi ā-taipitopito / note the local board advocated to Auckland
Transport in March 2024 and July 2024 to progress the Katoa Ka Ora programme
speed limit changes
v) tautoko / support Auckland Transport
progressing the speed limit measures as stated in the Katoa Ka Ora programme
of 40kph in village areas and 60kph across the island using the Alternative
Method
vi) tuhi ā-taipitopito / note the board preference for the Claris village
40kph speed zone to start from Blackwell Farm driveway and end at Sanderson
Farm driveway as showing in the attached draft Hector Sanderson gateways map
vii) tuhi ā-taipitopito / note that Auckland Transport will be visiting the
island in the near future to review placements for signage and Local Board
members are invited to be alongside them
viii) tuhi ā-taipitopito / note that the introduction of variable speed limits
around schools is a central government directive and will roll-out separately
to any Katoa Ka Ora speed limit changes
ix) tautoko / support the installation of simple
lollipop speed signage in village areas with a threshold paint strip should
the Alternative Method application be approved
x) tautoko / support proactive messaging to
inform the community of any speed limit changes
xi) whakamihi / thank
Beth Houlbrooke, Zara Ngawaka, Rhanae Ngawaka, Annie Ferguson
and Ping Sim for progressing the Katoa Ka Ora speed limits changes with
urgency and David Bolton for investigating speed reduction signage options
for the village areas.
