Kilbirnie Business Network Inc
PO Box 14-356, Kilbirnie, Wellington 6421 www.kilbirnie.org.nz [email protected]
CyclewaySubmissionfromKilbirnieBusinessNetworkInc.
ThissubmissionfocusesontheproposedKilbirniecyclewayandtheseissues:
• thedetrimentalimpactoncarparking
• cyclistsafety
• provisionofcyclistfacilities
• lackofconsultationwiththeBIDand
• cycleway/roaddesign.
Ourprimaryconcernistheproposedcycleway’sseriousimpactonKilbirniebusinessesbyitsreduction
offreeon-streetparkingonRongotaiRoad(fromRossStreet)andupCrawfordRoadtoDuncanTerrace.
In that limited area alone, the current proposal eliminates 37 carparks and does not provide any
alternativesnormentiontheneedforalternatives.
If theWCC believes that such a major change is needed because the current roading and parking
arrangementsposeathreatofinjurytocyclists(thoughweareunawareofdatatosupportthis),then
theperceivedthreatcouldsurelybereducedbyothermeans-egreducingthespeedlimitinandaround
Kilbirnie.
We are extremely concerned that theWCCmight proceedwith a plan that eliminates a significant
proportion of Kilbirnie's free parking, which is relied on by Kilbirnie retail/business staff and our
customers.Suchaproposal,webelieve,isentirelycontrarytotheWCC’sandourBID’ssharedgoalof
growingKilbirnie'sbusinessesbyenhancingKilbirnie’sreputationasadestinationforconsumersofretail
andotherservices.AndifitisthoughtthatthecyclewaywillmakeKilbirnieadestinationforcyclists-
notmerelyathoroughfare-thenwebelievethecyclewayproposalshouldincludeprovisionforthe
WCCtoinstallmultiplecyclestandsintheshoppingdistrict,inlocationsagreedwiththeBID.
WeconsiderthattheWCChasnotgivendueweighttothefactthatmanyofthepeople(probablyalmost
all)who rely on all day free parking in Kilbirnie cannot cycle to Kilbirnie towork or to shop/use its
services. Many do not live locally, many are elderly or not able-bodied and many have family
commitmentswhichrequiretheuseofacartodropoff/pickupchildrenbeforeorafterwork.Itisour
firmviewthatthelimitednumberofpeoplewhowilluseacyclewayareveryunlikelytobringadditional
customers or employees to Kilbirnie. Instead the proposed cycleway will deter employees and
customersfromworkingandshoppinginKilbirnie,contrarytothegoalofgrowingKilbirnie’sbusinesses.
In light of the relationship between WCC and our BID, and the fact that we represent some 250
businessesinthearea,wearealsoveryconcernedthattherehasbeennoattemptbyWCCtoconsult
usabouttheproposedcycleway.Norhastherebeen,toourknowledge,anyattemptbyWCCtoanalyse
the combined effect on Kilbirnie businesses of the (now-approved) bus hub plan and the proposed
cycleway.ItseemsthatmajorproposalsaffectingKilbirniearebeingdevelopedinisolationfromone
anotherandwithlittleregardfortheirpermanenteffectsonthelivelihoodsofKilbirniebusinessowners
and their employees. Indeed, on a broader note, there appears to be no overall strategic plan for
cyclewaydevelopmentinWellingtonandnosoundbusinesscaseforit.
Finallywerecordourfirmviewthatanycyclewayneedstobelocatedtotherightofparkedcars-not
besidethefootpathwithcarparkstotherightofthecycleway.

This junction does not cater at all for people on bikes.
As the plan stands, there is no provision for people on bikes going in the directions indicated by the red arrows.
1 - People on bikes could at least have a lane stretching around this corner followed by sharrows that take them to the next set of traffic lights.
2 - Most importantly of the three, people on bikes should be able to use the hashed area, which presumably helps motorists maintain speed onto Rongotai Road from Evans Bay Pde, while still seeing approaching vehicles from their right. Considering redesigning this part of the junction so that motorists must slow down and look properly for other motorists and other people using the road. At the very least to improve it for people on bikes, provide road markings to help them get to the protected lane.
3 - People on bikes making this signalled right turn should be heading onto a road that provides marked lanes.
This is a complex junction with many lights, and plenty of traffic. Cycle-advance signals such as the one in use at Abel-Smith/Victoria Sts in the CBD should be considered.
