https://spokes.nz/t/22nd-july-1400-dcc-meeting/836

You were going to dig out the summaries of their last 2 meetings too.

I’m free to go, but if @heike is dead keen then she is welcome to go instead. Or perhaps both of us.

Heike had initially thought she’d be able to get to the meeting. Steve and Matt are pretty good at feeding stuff back to me and we three are generally closely aligned in our views anyway.

This will be a major route for cyclists who have been travelling north on harbour cycle path through to city, hospital, one way cyleways. They will get to Anzac ave/st andrew intersection and then have to merge with traffic on St Andrew Street. Similar problem in reverse when leaving city/hospital/one way cyclepaths heading south. They have moved SH88 off st andrew which helps but minimal traffic calming and no speed reduction so therefore need seperated cycle lane to make this a safe route. Otherwise once again we will be cut off from city by these two blocks. Any thoughts? I think we should all ask for seperated cycle paths on St Andrew

When I put in my submission I’m also asking for a bit of a creative flair, making it safer and clearer for car drivers that they enter a pedestrian friendly area. Like this example here; https://www.greaterauckland.org.nz/2013/03/04/piece-of-cake-improvement-painting-the-crossings-red/

Would also love to see some testing of extending the curbs because up to 10,000 pedestrians will be crossing here.

Which is relatively cheap and can be made permanent at a later stage.

There is certainly scope for improving cycle safety at the junctions.

Snapshot of the key proposed changes

  • New Barnes Dance crossing (where all pedestrians cross the road at once) at the SH88 St Andrew Street/SH1 Cumberland Street intersection to help people reach the hospital public entrances safely.

  • Remove the westbound right turn from SH88 St Andrew Street onto SH1 Cumberland Street to make space and time for the increased number of pedestrians, including people with mobility needs, to cross the road.

  • Two new signalised pedestrian crossings on SH1 outside the Woolworths and the Centre City New World supermarkets.

  • Changes to St Andrew Street and other nearby streets to help people driving, walking and cycling, and emergency vehicles, move safely and smoothly around the hospital and surrounding area.

  • Left in and left out only turns are proposed to increase safety at the St Andrew/Leith Street and Frederick/Leith Street intersections.

  • Move SH88 from St Andrew to Frederick Street.

  • Timing - we aim to deliver this work over the next 2–5 years, depending on funding and consents.

The proposed plans for the SH1/SH88 area build on our earlier work in 2023, when the decision was made to keep the existing Dunedin SH1 one-way system. Find out more here:
