Presented by: Stu Kilmister (walkways, cycleways and bridleways planner, Kapiti Coast District Council) and John Baldwin (Kapiti Cycling)
- Town Centre Upgrades - Paekakariki, Paraparaumu
- McLean St raised intersection didn't work. Hump too shallow (ramp should be 100 mm, not 50 mm)
- Signed at 30 km/h
- Otaki next township to be done
- Otaki Main Street design has angle parking; reverse-in angle parking considered but rejected
- Needed to buy land for some links (near Paekakariki)
- Quite a few off-road links
- Otaihanga Rd shared path resulted in cyclists having to switch sides
- Doing cycle and pedestrian counts
- Kapiti Rd 59,000 cyclists per year
- 600 to 700 per day crossing Waikanae River
- Te Arawai Footbridge cost $240,000 (about 65 m long)
- Paths 20 mm compacted gravel - looks like asphalt but gets a bit rougher over time (argillite)
- Campbell's Mill Rd old forestry road now multi-use track (including horses and pedestrians)
- Off-road much easier than on-road (procedurally)
- Trying to get path through Queen Elizabeth Park - just need funding
- Advice to advocates - get on side with your elected members; show a united voice.
