    • Te Tai Ohinga Artwork Submissions

You can learn more about the project by visiting Te Tai Ohinga’s Instagram or the Wellington City Council Website. Submissions close 11.59pm 31 July 2024 The Opportunity Artwork Display: Five pieces of artwork created by rangatahi aged 13-18 will be selected by a panel of young people to be printed and displayed in Te Tai Ohinga. Each selected artist will receive a $200 Prezzy card to acknowledge their contribution. Digital/Physical Collection: All submitted artwork may be featured in a digital and or physical collection celebrating your artistic talents, stories and contributions that have helped bring Te Tai Ohinga to life. Getting Inspired The name Te Tai Ohinga was gifted by Kura Moeahu, Chairman Te Rūnanganui o Te Āti Awa and we encourage you to turn to this as inspiration for your piece. "Te Tai refers to the tides of the sea, and Ohinga is a word referencing young people which is derived from Taranaki, speaking to the opportunity for rangatahi in Pōneke to make a resurgence now that a safe space has been created for them to hang out. It also captures the idea that there will always be young people in Pōneke, just as the tide will always ebb and flow." - Kura Moeahu. The meeting rooms in Te Tai Ohinga also take inspiration from te ao Māori through low and high tide, and, waxing and waning moon which also tie into the theme of the space: "The tides high and low, the moon waxing and waning, speaks to duality, there cannot be one without the other, and are metaphors for real life experience of every human who goes through teenage hood, with high tides come lows, with bad phases come good." -Tama Ale Samoa While designing Te Tai Ohinga, you told us how important it was to feel represented in the space. We are actively seeking artwork that celebrates the rich diversity of our community and especially welcome pieces that represent stories from the following communities: Māori Pasifika LGBTQIA+ Disabled Refugee/Migrant Entry Requirements To be eligible you will be between 13-18 years old and live in or have a strong connection to Pōneke Wellington.

    • Ohiro Road South Improvements
      • We're proposing safety changes to Ohiro Road, Brooklyn. These changes aim to create a safer and more efficient road environment for all residents and road users. The proposed safety improvements include: Building upon the collaboration with the community and local business, and the commitment to safety improvements, the Council are proposing the following changes: Creating a legalised bus stop. Providing a dedicated buffer zone for cyclists. Creating 2.1 meters of designated Parking spaces. Installing Broken yellow lines to prevent unauthorised parking. Shifting the centrelines to accommodate the proposed changes. You can see the full list of changes laid out in the proposed plan documents. Background: The Transport Engineering and Parking team has received concerns from residents regarding vehicles parked on the footpath of Ohiro Road (217-507 Ohiro road). These vehicles narrow the footpath, leaving insufficient space for pedestrians with wheelchairs and prams to pass through. Residents are requesting the reinstallation of road markings to encourage people to park on road rather than on the footpath. After conducting our investigation, we held a meeting with ward Councillors and resident association members to discuss parking issues on Ohiro Road. We also conducted a parking survey to determine the number of illegal parking instances on Ohiro Road. You can see our findings linked in the document section. We want to hear from you We're looking for your perspectives on the proposed Ohiro Road improvements. There are a number of ways you can let us know what you think: You can submit your feedback in the submission box below. You can also email your thoughts directly at ohirosouthintersection@wcc.govt.nz You can have your say between Wednesday 22 November 2023 and 5.00 pm, Friday 8 December 2023 What will happen next After this engagement period, our team will carefully assess all the feedback received, and consider any necessary amendments before proceeding with the Traffic Resolutions consultation. If you have any questions or concerns about this project, please email us at ohirosouthintersection@wcc.govt.nz

    • TR 06-24 – Hutt Road from Aotea Quay overbridge to Jarden Mile intersection – Proposed Changes
      • We're asking for feedback on two proposed traffic and parking changes on Hutt Road. Between Aotea Quay overbridge 9 (at approximately 87 Hutt Road) and the Jarden Mile intersection, we are proposing changes to parking and the shared walking and cycling path, the introduction of dedicated bus lanes at peak travel times and new or upgraded pedestrian crossing facilities, bus stops and shelters. These changes aim to deliver a safer Hutt Road that caters for all ways of travelling. Why are changes proposed? Thorndon Quay and Hutt Road is one of Wellington’s busiest bus corridors, carrying around 10,000 passengers each weekday and a bus every 90 seconds in peak periods. It’s also the city’s busiest cycle route and one of its most important commuter routes. Wellington’s population is growing with projections of a further 75,000 people over the next 30 years, including around 15,000 in the northern suburbs. In addition, around 27,750 are projected in the urban centres outside of Wellington City (Kāpiti, Porirua, Upper Hutt, Lower Hutt and the Wairarapa). Thorndon Quay and Hutt Road will be critical to safely and efficiently catering for this growth. We've already heard from Wellingtonians that along this route you’d like to see increased safety for everyone, improved bus priority and reliability, better walking and cycling facilities and a more attractive street environment. These proposals aim to provide safer and more reliable travel choices for everyone – whether walking, cycling, driving or travelling by bus. Following feedback and Council approval, the traffic restrictions will be added to the Council's legal database and instructions issued to contractors to install the changes. Summary Reference Location and proposed changes TR 06-24 Hutt Road from Aotea Quay overbridge to Jarden Mile intersection For people on buses Dedicated bus-only lanes at peak travel times (inbound 6:30am to 9:30am and outbound 4pm to 6:30pm). At all other times, buses will travel in general traffic. The changes will save up to eight minutes in the morning peak period for those heading into the city. Some bus stops relocated to improve accessibility for pedestrians and upgraded to better serve those with mobility needs. Improvements at Jarden Mile, including new shelters and a new bus interchange for transfers between State Highway 1 (Centennial Highway) and State Highway 2. For people walking and cycling Widening the shared path from Ngā Ūranga to Onslow Road and seamlessly connecting it to the Onslow to Tinakori Road shared path. Upgrading the shared path to connect to others under construction, including Te Ara Tupua from Ngā Ūranga to Petone (Ngā Ūranga ki Pito One) and Thorndon Quay. New or improved pedestrian and cycle crossings at Jarden Mile intersection. Upgraded Rangiora Avenue pedestrian crossing with raised tables and traffic signals. For people driving Hutt Road resurfaced with clear line markings. Road layout and signalling changes at the Onslow Road / Hutt Road intersection to enable traffic to exit Onslow Road more safely. Jarden Mile intersection changes to support bus lanes and shared paths, including removing the slip lane from the State Highway 2 off-ramp to Hutt Road. Parking designation and location changes to enable bus lane and shared path changes (a net loss of two parks).

    • Riddiford Street-Russell Terrace roundabout improvement
      • We want your feedback on a proposal to upgrade to the roundabout at the intersection of Russell Terrace, Riddiford, Mansfield and Rhodes streets in Newtown. About the proposed improvements The proposed improvements come after the community raised concerns about the safety of the intersection for motorists, cyclists, and pedestrians. In response to those concerns, Council officers have investigated and are proposing safety improvements: Installation of three (3) new raised zebra crossings, one each on Rhodes St, Russell Terrace and Mansfield St to improve the safety and accessibility of pedestrians and cyclists crossing the intersection. Installation of speed cushions on Riddiford St to reduce vehicle speed approaching to the intersection. Creating a central refuge island as part of the new crossings on Rhodes St and Mansfield St to further improve pedestrian safety, by reducing the exposure time of pedestrians to traffic when crossing. Installation of a No Stopping at All Times sign approaching the new crossings to improve sight visibility and safety at the pedestrian zebra crossing. Background Waka Kotahi’s Crash Analysis System (CAS) shows the intersection has a high safety issue, with eight injury crashes, and 11 non-injury crashes occurring in the past 10 years (2010-2020), incurring a substantial social injury cost of $3.08M. The initial community engagement in August 2021 highlighted significant safety concerns with the intersection. Most respondents expressed discomfort with the current state of pedestrian safety. Problems have been confirmed as below: Limited accessibility and facilities for pedestrians to cross the roads at this location High vehicle speed reduces safety and access for pedestrians and cyclists and Vehicles’ failure to give way forms an unsafe environment for all road users We want to hear from you We really want to hear your perspectives on the changes we are proposing to this intersection. There are a number of ways you can let us know what you think: You can submit your feedback in the submission box below You can also email your thoughts directly at newtownIntersection@wcc.govt.nz You can have your say between Monday 9.00am 13 November 2023 and Friday 5.00 pm 24 November 2023 What will happen next After the initial engagement, our team will access the feedback and come back to the community with any changes, and the next steps. We will be incorporating public feedback into a detailed design between- Dec 2023 – Mar 2024. Final changes will be decided in a formal Traffic resolution, with works commencing in the first half of 2024.

    • Box Hill and Station Rd Intersection safety improvement
      • Box Hill and Station Rd Intersection safety improvement In September 2019, Wellington City Council received a 129 signatured e-petition expressing safety concerns for people who use the Box Hill/ Burma Road/Station Road/Baroda Street intersection in Khandallah. To gain a better understanding of the problems and concerns of the intersection, an anonymous survey and a Traffic Survey were carried out in August 2020. Problems of this intersection have been confirmed as below: User confusion, complex layout and high demand are resulting in an unsafe environment for users; High vehicle speed reduces safety and access for pedestrians and cyclists; and Traffic congestion at the intersection is causing delays and resulting in frustration and unsafe manoeuvres. The proposed safety improvements include: Building upon the collaboration with the community and local business, and the commitment to safety improvements, the Council are proposing the following changes: Implementing traffic light controls at the intersection to manage traffic flow, prioritise the crossing of pedestrians and cyclists, and enhance safety for all road users. Adding 'No Stopping' restrictions on all approaches to the intersection to improve visibility for all road users. Time-restricted parking spaces to optimise parking availability and traffic movement, as well as balance the need for access to local businesses. Relocating Bus Stop #4459 for improved public transport efficiency and safety.
