Initiatives that aim to improve Gore street safety do the opposite, councillors told

Rachael Kelly/Stuff Gore residents Rosemary Heath and Christopher Scoles with their petition opposing the Gore District Councilâs Streets Alive programme. Some of Gore’s elderly residents are too scared to leave their homes and drive in the town because of changes the council has made as parts of its Streets Alive initiative, councillor Glenys Dickson told a council meeting on Tuesday. And results to the council’s own survey about changes to the town’s streets found some initiatives were unpopular and there were concerns about safety issues. The council has rolled out a three-month trial of its Streets Alive project, which has changed some layouts for traffic throughout the town, by adding pocket parks, planters, roundabouts and courtesy crossings.

NZTA s Innovative Streets tactical urbanism coming to a town near you

That s the whole idea. The fund allows councils to trial new traffic layouts, before spending big money to make them permanent. Waka Kotahi urban mobility manager Kathryn King said the Innovative Streets programme aimed to make it faster and easier to transition streets to safer and more liveable spaces, using a technique called tactical urbanism, which allowed faster delivery of ‘people-friendly’ street changes in urban areas where space is a premium. “There are over 60 Innovating Streets pilots taking place around the country. They include safe streets around schools, so children can get some exercise and out into nature on their way to school, ‘low traffic neighbourhoods’ where streets are made much quieter by reducing rat-running, and town centre revitalisations to make business districts more vibrant, ’ King said.

False start on city s four-way stops

However, while the stops were installed in December, they had not been approved for inclusion into the council’s bylaw schedules. This meant the new set-up was technically not authorised, and the new layout was not able to be enforced by police. The issue was eventually addressed at a hearings panel on Wednesday, where the amendments to the bylaw were passed and the signs given retrospective approval. Initially brought before the panel in March, hearing panel chair Councillor Gaile Noonan had stood down the matter of the four-way stops, in order to get more information about what had happened. Noonan said she did not know why the bylaw changes had not been approved before the stop signs had been set up, or why it had taken so long to clear up.
