Disconnect We’ve had a change of government and carrying on with the last government’s agenda We are doing the opposite from what the current government would like usto achieve We have – most importantly (?) – split responsibilities NZTA building the Northern Arterial north of QEII Drive CCC building the Northern Arterial south of QEII Drive ECan in charge of organising public transport So who is in charge overall?
Can we change how people from the north ofChristchurch travel? Yes, we can! And we can achieve that quickly It needs collaboration: ECan to provide a superb bus service NZTA and CCC to provide bus priority lanes Waimak DC to provide bus stops for rerouted service CCC to charge for parking where commuters park forfree It needs political will; the science is the easy part
Proposal 1: New bus route Limited stop service to Kaiapoi and Rangiora Blue lineVia Manchester StreetVia Northern ArterialVia SH71 (Lineside Rd) Increase frequency on route 95 from Belfast south red line
Permanent bus lanes On Northern Arterial Cranford St (to Edgeware Rd) Limited stop service Traffic restriction at Bealey Ave To reduce traffic volumes onManchester StreetWhy permanent bus lanes?Four lanes deliver twice as muchtraffic than two lanesBealey Avebus gatePermanent bus lanesProposal 2: Priority measures
Proposal 3: Paid parking Park & ride charge for P&R from day one (don’trepeat Auckland’s mistake to make it free) Place strategically near future railwaystations Need much more paid parking toreduce car commuting Central city (example shown)Area around Riccarton MallArea around Northlands MallOther high-parking generators
Free parking Parkingmanagement aprincipal reason forlow bus use City council stopsECan from beingsuccessful
Time to act is now Let’s stop and think Get key stakeholders together NZTACCCECanWaimak DC Agree that mode shift should bethe target Less driving more public transport use Work out details for proposalpresented here CCC to part-finance ECan’scontribution Downstreamworks notneeded Increasedparkingrevenue
