Submissions support cycleway<br />

• By Fiona Ellis<br />

THE MAJORITY of 424<br />

submissions support the third<br />

and final section of the Nor’west<br />

Arc Cycleway, a city council<br />

analysis has revealed.<br />

Just 12 per cent of submitters<br />

opposed the construction of<br />

the cycleway, which would link<br />

Canterbury University to Jellie<br />

Park and Harewood Rd, and<br />

a further 23 per cent were<br />

neutral.<br />

However, design details<br />

divided the submitters on the<br />

project, which has received $10.5<br />

million in funding as part of<br />

the Government ‘shovel ready’<br />

projects.<br />

Safety and parking were<br />

frequent concerns.<br />

Submitters were split on the<br />

two proposed designs for Ilam<br />

Rd.<br />

A one-way cycleway on each<br />

side of the road was favoured<br />

by 55 per cent of submitters<br />

who selected an option, while<br />

45 per cent preferred a two-way<br />

cycleway on the west side of the<br />

road.<br />

Of those who supported<br />

the first option, safety was a<br />

common reason, cited by 32<br />

submitters.<br />

Ilam Rd residents W and PJ<br />

Gilroy said it was obviously the<br />

safer option.<br />

“We will only have to look one<br />

way for approaching cyclists as<br />

we exit our drive and we will<br />

have a clear view of vehicles<br />

approaching from the right. At<br />

present, our view is obstructed<br />

by vehicles parked close to the<br />

exit from our garage and drive.”<br />

University lecturer Mads<br />

Thomsen, who said he cycled to<br />

the university every day, called<br />

the first option “1000 times<br />

better, safer, and more efficient”<br />

as it would reduce the need for<br />

cyclists to cross the road.<br />

The need to retain parking<br />

spaces was a popular reason<br />

among those who favoured<br />

submitters.<br />

Mortlocks Lawyers Partner<br />

Guy Mortlock favoured a twoway<br />

cycleway, stating there was<br />

already a shortage of parking<br />

in the area, especially with high<br />

demand from students.<br />

“It is important to retain as<br />

much parking as possible, while<br />

still making cycling safer than it<br />

currently is,” he said.<br />

Safety was also cited as a factor<br />

by 12 submitters who preferred<br />

the second option.<br />

Bellbird Hearing Clinic<br />

Manager Sam Sloane stated he<br />

was afraid a cycleway in front<br />

of the clinic, located on the east<br />

side of Ilam Rd would create an<br />

increased risk of car accidents<br />

with his elderly clients and<br />

supported a two-way cycleway<br />

instead.<br />

Submitters were also split on<br />

the proposed design options<br />

for Aorangi Rd from the<br />

intersection of Ilam Rd to them<br />

the west side of the road was<br />

preferred by 62 per cent of<br />

submitters who selected an<br />

option, while 38 per cent<br />

preferred a shared path on the<br />

west side of the road.<br />

Safety was a top concern by<br />

those who preferred the first<br />

option, cited by 40 submitters.<br />

For example, submitter Paul<br />

Ainsworth said a shared path<br />

would be disastrous.<br />

“Having scooters, cycles etc<br />

travelling at 30km/h in the same<br />

area as pedestrians will only lead<br />

to serious accidents,” he said.<br />

Fourteen submitters who<br />

chose this option also wanted to<br />

avoid poor user behaviour they<br />

believed would be an issue with a<br />

shared path.<br />

Submitter Richard Ibbitt<br />

said his experience with shared<br />

pathways had not been good.<br />

“The pedestrian usually has<br />

to give way to cyclists, not all of<br />

whom seem to appreciate that<br />

a shared space means that all<br />

parties using the pathways have<br />

to be equally considerate.”<br />

Although the second option<br />

of a shared path was less<br />

popular overall, all of those who<br />

lived along this section of the<br />

route and made a choice between<br />

the two designs selected this<br />

option.<br />

Maintaining on-road car<br />

parking was the reason cited<br />

by 30 submitters who chose<br />

this option.<br />
