Wellington Public Transport Spine Study – Cycle Aware Wellington submission 1 October 2013

Submitted by AlastairS on 21 February, 2014 - 07:07

Key points of our submission
We support both of the rapid transport options - BRT and LRT. However, we want to see the
following become part of the chosen option:
● separated cycle lanes along the entire transport spine
● bikes allowed on public transport vehicles
● bike parking at main stations and the termini.


We have a proposal for:
● rerouting public transport away from the Golden Mile to make this a pedestrian / cycle only
shopping area.

Submission on Seaview Road proposed speed limit reduction Hutt City Council

Submitted by Patrick on 9 May, 2013 - 14:09

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.

Cycle Action Waiheke Submission on a "Self Explaining Roads" treatment for Titoki Rd

Submitted by Cycleactionwaiheke on 9 October, 2012 - 09:35

Click the attachment to see CAWs suggestions to the Waiheke Local Board and AT on a "Self Explaining Roads" paint treatment for Titoki Rd.

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. The memo was our suggested low cost/no speed bump solution to speed reduction.
