1. PETITIONS
A petition was received from 58 residents in the Clarendon Tce area requesting that consideration be given to the installation of a raised cobblestone platform at the north-east end of Tavender Street. The Area Traffic Engineer, Barry Cook, advised that the contract for kerb and channel replacement works on the south side of Clarendon Tce together with neighbourhood improvements adjacent to the bridge had been let. He informed members that following discussions with the Roading Unit the petitioners request would be included as part of that contract. Information leaflets advising residents of the works are to be circulated after Christmas.
2. MT PLEASANT COMMUNITY CENTRE & RATEPAYERS' ASSOCIATION - PROJECT PROPOSALS
Correspondence was received from the Mt Pleasant Community Centre & Ratepayers' Association requesting the Board to reverse its decision to not support seal widening on McCormacks Bay Road. The Association also expressed its disappointment that improvements at the Main Road/Bridle Path Road intersection had been assessed by the Board as a Priority 3. The Roading Planning & Asset Manager, Chris Kerr advised that existing kerb and channelling was sound and that the widening of this portion of road was not supported by the Roading Unit nor could it be justified on safety grounds. The Board resolved:
1. To refer the request to the Project Funding meeting scheduled for March and that staff provide data on both traffic counts and the accident history on this portion of road to that meeting. 2. That the Residents' Association be kept informed of any developments.
3. TRAFFIC RESTRAINTS: MACKWORTH AND ROCHESTER
STREETS
At its 15 November 1995 meeting the Board was presented with two petitions requesting speed restraints in both Mackworth and Rochester Streets. Although it was resolved at that meeting that a report on costings and possible locations of restraints in the Linwood LATMS area would be presented to the Project Funding Meeting, members were requested to determine whether it wished to rank these projects and incorporate them with other listed works at this meeting. Whilst discussing the issues members were advised that kerb and channel replacement works in Mackworth Street were programmed for 1999/2000 and that it would be prudent for the thresholds to be installed at that time. The Board resolved: 1. That traffic restraints in Mackworth Street be included as part of the kerb and channel replacement works programmed for 1999/2000. 2. That the Board prioritise the installation of 21 traffic restraints, at an approximate cost of $15,000 each, to be installed over the next three years and that $100,000 be allocated each year towards the project. 3. That a combined forum, with representatives of all Community Boards, be held to discuss Neighbourhood Improvement Works and in particular the installation of traffic restraints. 4. That Aaron O'Brien and David Cox represent the Board at that forum.4. BELLS CREEK THROUGH MARY DIXON PARK
The Land Drainage Manager, Ken Couling, reported to the Board on the programme of waterway enhancement for Bells Creek, in the reach that flows through Mary Dixon Park to Ferry Road.
