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

Here’s an update on the chlorination status of each pump station in the Papanui area, from Councillor Mike Davidson:

These are the pump stations in or close to the Papanui ward – the current status of these pump stations are:

Grampian – Reduced chlorine dosage and identified as one of the first pump stations for remedial work so chlorine can be removed.
Grassmere – Chlorine dose not reduced, but identified as one of the first pump stations for remedial work so chlorine can be removed.
Mays – Reduced chlorine dosage and identified as one of the first pump stations for remedial work so chlorine can be removed.
Blighs – Reduced chlorine dosage.
Redwood – Chlorine dose not reduced.
Farrington – Chlorine dose not reduced, but identified as one of the first pump stations for remedial work so chlorine can be removed.
Trafalgar – Reduced chlorine dosage.
Gardiners – Not chlorinated.

Due to demands on the network the pump station closest to you may not always be supplying water to your home.

A total of 7 pump stations have been identified for the first remedial work and once completed will make 11 pump stations chlorine free – 25% of the city’s water supply.
Once the best remedial action is determined for the remaining pump stations it will be reported back to Council so these can also be progressed.

Speed limits on the top end of Harewood and Sawyers Arms Roads, and along Gardiners and Styx Mill Roads, are set to drop soon following a decision last week by the Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood Community Board. Harewood Rd will drop to 50km/hr, and Sawyers Arms, Gardiners, and Styx Mill Roads to 60km/hr. Full details of the proposal can be found in the Board’s agenda (http://christchurch.infocouncil.biz/Open/2018/06/FWHB_20180605_AGN_2575_AT_WEB.htm), and the final decision in the minutes from the meeting (http://christchurch.infocouncil.biz/Open/2018/06/FWHB_20180605_MIN_2575_AT.PDF). These changes are expected to come into force next month following Council approval and installation of signage.
