We wish to speak to our submission, please contact Eleanor Meecham

Our submission:

Cycle Aware Wellington supports the Council's proposal to improve pedestrian, cyclist and motorist safety on Seaview Rd by lowering the speed limit along this route to 50km/h.
In addition, we recommend the speed restriction is extended to Point Howard, a distance of less than 1km.

We would like the Council to consider the following points.

1. Lower speeds reduce both the likelihood and severity of crashes.

This followed extensive upgrade of the road by AT from a bumpy, narrow road with no hard-engineered edges to a widened 6 metres curb and channelled road.

The "first presentation" was to public forum where the board resolved to receive an advisory memo on line paining from CAW and pass it to AT engineers.

Our key points:
● Corridor plans, including this one, must have a much stronger focus on active and public
transport modes.
● Investment in active transport modes can be built in with very little cost impact and
considerable benefit.
● The lack of a continuous, safe cycling route through the Western Corridor is a glaring
omission and this plan must include provision to create a continuous, safe cycling route
through the corridor.
● The language regarding pedestrians and cyclists in the plan should be stronger and
more positive.

A summary of our key points (But read the full pdf version below - it's real good!):

Key points of our submission:
● Bring the installation of cycle racks on buses forward to the next three years.
● Improve and expand cycle storage facilities at train stations
● Support the removal of peak hour bicycle restrictions where train services show to have
capacity.
● We support improving regional parks, especially easy and medium grade tracks for
walking and cycling. These tracks can not only support recreational cyclists but if
designed well can be utilised by commuters (eg, Hutt River trail).

A summary of our key points
● We support all the walking and cycling projects listed as first and second priority
activities.
(relates to q1 of the submission form)
● The programme includes high-cost, large, new projects (third priority) that focus
on private vehicle transport and have low benefit cost ratios (eg Basin Reserve
Improvements and Mackays to Peka Peka Expressway). We do not support these
projects.

● Bring forward the Ngauranga to Petone cycleway project to be completed within three
