Wallace Place:
- From Morley St to Tukapa St: Ranked #29th. The improvements recommended are; Mark green cycle lanes on insides of the bends.
The green cycle lane marking should be as per the proposed layouts for the green cycle lane trial which has green lanes on both sides of Wallace Place through this section.
Tukapa Street:
- From Wallace Place to Julian Street: Ranked 30th. The improvements recommended are; Green cycle lane marking through the Westown shopping centre and the David St, Clawton St, Borrell Av. and Waimea St intersections.
The green cycle lane marking should be as per the proposed layouts for the green cycle lane trial which has green lanes on both sides. The Borrell Av. intersection probably not needed for the green paint.
The cycle lanes leading to Francis Douglas Memorial College end at Julian Street. These need to be extended up to FDMC, may need parking restrictions, bus stop set backs and narrower footpaths and a green cycle lane across the intersection with Omata Road on the west side of Tukapa St.I then went and had a cup of tea with a friend in Waimea St and then carried on via some off-road tracks to Frankley Road.
Frankley Road:
- From Clawton Street to the Dawson Street roundabout: Ranked 24th. The improvements recommended are; Parking prohibitions on both sides for 280m south from roundabout then on one side south to Clawton St.
Cycle lane signs are needed on both sides and cycle lane markings are needed through Maratahu St, Glen Park Av. and Clawton St intersections. Signs back from the roundabout are required to warn vehicles to allow for cyclists on the roundabout.
I then went around the roundabout and headed down and up Mill Road to get to Carrington St. I then rode south towards the Vogeltown shops then turned left into and headed down Hori St to the roundabout at the intersection on Brooklands Road.
Hori Street:
- From Brooklands Road to Carrington Street; Ranked 34th. The improvements recommended are; 50m of cycle lane extension at the western end to take the cycle lanes through to Carrington St.
The large roudabout at Brooklands road looks difficult for cyclists, it should comply with the latest best practice re lane markings.
Carrington Street:
- From Huatoki Street to Holsworthy Road; Ranked 32nd. The improvements recommended are; Nothing.
Cycle lane markings are needed through the Mill Road intersection and through the Hori Street intersection to the end of the section.
- From Holsworthy Road to Courtenay Street; Ranked 20th. The improvements recommended are; Setting back kerbs on one side from Mill Rd to Shortland St, Parking prohibitions both sides from Shortland St to Victoria Rd, Set back kerbs both sides from Victoria St to Courtenay St, Green cycle lane markings across the Victoria adn Pendarves St intersections.
Cycle lane is very narrow at the shops on the west side by Mill Road. A planter box outside one of the shops takes cycle lane space. The cycle lane on the east side is narrow at the south end of this section. The parking prohibition both sides from Shortland St to Victoria Road is probably too severe. Need some set back parking bays from Mill Road to around #88 then prohibit parking down to Flight Place. From Flight Place to Victoria Rd, need some parking south of the narrow road section and the P120 zone for the Rest Home.
Well that was all the rides done during September and most of the sections reviewed.
