Yesterday 21 June the Environment Canterbury Council (ECan) adopted the Council’s Long-Term Plan 2018-28, which includes the modified proposals for Christchurch bus routes as outlined in the link below. For the Papanui area, this confirms that the 107 service will be retained (but with reduced frequency and operating hours), and the 108 will be mostly absorbed into an extended 28 service. The original proposal was to discontinue six bus routes, including the 107 & 108, with no replacements or alternative, and this was met with a massive pushback from the public. The outcome is a positive result for people power and the impact that ratepayers can have 🙂 Changes are likely to be implemented from early October 2018.

Updates from today’s meeting of the Papanui-Innes Community Board:
At thismorning’s Papanui Innes Community Board meeting we decided to recommend to the full council that the speed limit on the northern stretch of Cranford St and Main North Rd through to the Northcote/Main North/QEII Dr intersection be dropped from 60km/hr to 50km/hr, and we approved the no stopping restrictions on Grants Rd by Proctor St.
We also decided to delay making a decision on the report around the final design for the Northern Arterial Extension, the northern part of the Cranford St Upgrage (the section between McFaddens Rd north to the Northern Arterial Junction) and the Cranford-Innes intersection. We felt unable to make a decision without having more clarification from staff around parts of the proposal, and will be getting our questions answered before we consider it again at a later date.
In other decisions, we granted funding to the three young people who had requested it from our positive youth development fund, and also granted funds to the Papanui RSA for their new memorabilia cabinets.
Let me know if you’ve got any questions.

Further background on another significant agenda item at this week’s Papanui-Innes Community Board meeting:
Council staff propose that the Board recommends that the speed limit on the top part of Cranford Street (and also Main North Road between Cranford St and QEII Drive) be dropped from 60km/h to 50km/h, effective around August 2018. Staff report that “It was recently brought to the attention of NZTA and CCC that there are conflicting gazetted intersection speeds at Main North/Northcote/QE II Drive.” and also that “While the current posted speed limit of 60km/h on Cranford Street is in alignment with the safe and appropriate speed recommended in the NZTA Guide and resources, staff consider that a reduced speed limit of 50km/h would be more appropriate given the heavy volumes of traffic and the built up nature of the environment with residential entrances, various businesses and a school frontage”, and also that the Christchurch Northern Corridor (CNC) connection will ‘significantly alter the feel and complexity of the traffic environment’. In response to public consultation on this proposal, 47 valid submissions were received, of which 37 were in support, 9 were not in support, and 1 person only made comments. See item 9 in the Board’s agenda for full details: http://christchurch.infocouncil.biz/Open/2018/06/PICB_20180620_AGN_2436_AT_WEB.htm

Further background on one of several significant agenda items at this week’s Papanui-Innes Community Board meeting:
The NZ Transport Agency is responsible for most of the Christchurch Northern Corridor (CNC) roading project, but the City Council is responsible from the NZTA boundary (just South of QEII Drive) through to Cranford Street, including the widening (four-laning) of Cranford Street down to the Innes Road intersection. These parts of the project are referred to as the Northern Arterial Extension (NAE) and Cranford Street Upgrade (CSU). This week the Community Board is being asked to recommend final designs for these Council parts of the project. See item 8 in the Board’s agenda for full details: http://christchurch.infocouncil.biz/Open/2018/06/PICB_20180620_AGN_2436_AT_WEB.htm
