WCC consults on Thorndon Quay - safety improvements for cyclists

Submitted by Patrick on 24 February, 2010 - 15:54

Please support the Council's proposal to improve cyclist safety on Thorndon Quay. Make a submission  - it only takes a couple of minutes.

Background

Over the past 10 years, the average number of commuter cyclists on Thorndon Quay has increased from 75 to 300 per hour during peak hours. The average reported crashes between cycles and vehicles have also increased from one to six per year, making Thorndon Quay one of the most dangerous roads in Wellington for cyclists.

NZTA consultation on SH1 Basin Reserve plans

Claire and I were briefed by NZTA on Basin Reserve plans. Here's our notes.

In February 2010 NZTA will start 6 weeks of formal consultation on options for the Basin Reserve: flyover, etc.
Do nothing is unlikely to be an option.
A preferred option is expected to be announced in May.
Construction is pencilled in for 2012-15.
This is part of a Road of National Significance (Levin to Airport).
Note new GPS, transport priorities etc
Project still depends on getting funding from NLTP.

helpers wanted Dec 5 Obcycle Course

Can you lend an hour or two to help promote cycling in Wellington? CAW (Cycle Aware Wellington) is putting on an Obcycle Course this Saturday 5 December from 11am - 3pm at Odlin's Plaza by St John's bar on the waterfront.
We need volunteers to be marshalls/referees at the different stations on the course to time and judge the competitors. It will be a small, low-key, fun event. Also folks to help set up for an hour and/or pack down would be great.
Please contact Julian julianboorman [at] yahoo [dot] com 021 0688 951 if you can help.

Where should Wellington City Council spend its cycling budget?

Do we want to run bike commuter workshops in Nov and Dec?

In 2008 we ran free workshops for newbie bike commuters. WCC (Leanne Parsons) has asked if we want to do them again.
I am keen, and need some helpers - any volunteers?
