Present Graeme, Jacob, Richard, Eleanor, Bob, Helen
Apologies Paula, Jen
We welcomed new members Richard and Jacob who have moved to the area and Helen who works with the Auckland District Health Board.
It was suggested that we need to present to the Auckland Transport board on the role of pedestrians.
We looked at the contra flow cycling in one way streets proposed by AT.
We talked of speeds being too high in shared space and that there is no speed limit like in Australia. Maybe cyclist can give pedestrians 1.5 meters on shared paths. Don MiKinnon drive is an example of a shared path not working due to it being narrow.
Graeme asked us to be at the CHamberlain Park Open Day and see the motorway to Mt Albert shared path that is in the plan. Richard said he would do that.
Pedestrian cross lights. Why do we have to push the button? What intersection does this happen in the CBD and which one dont. WHy the difference? Andy will ask AT these questions.
Rubbish bins of footpaths are getting too frequent. Can the council remind citizen that they cannot store bins on the footpath.
