Thursday September 7 2023 3 Traffic calming measures unveiled for Flockton St Specialist pool over the line with 400k grant SAFE SPEED platforms and a new road surface are being proposed to help manage increased traffic since the opening of the Northern Corridor. Feedback has opened on plans to install traffic calming measures on Flockton St and Francis Ave which have both been impacted by additional use since the motorway opened in 2020. Safe speed platforms at 70 metre intervals have been proposed, with seven to be installed on Flockton St and five on Francis Ave, to encourage reduced and consistent speeds along the road. Transport planning and delivery manager Jacob Bradbury said they have heard a lot of feedback from residents on Flockton St. “They said that they were experiencing vibrations, so to mitigate this we’ve decided to also include resurfacing for that street which will reduce these vibrations in the long term,” Bradbury said. The plans were developed following feedback and data collected during trials set up last year. Temporary raised speed humps and one- and two-way chicanes were installed on Flockton St, while speed humps and road narrowing were installed on Francis Ave. Bradbury said they considered all sorts of other traffic calming measures when working on their proposed designs including chicanes, road narrowings, a cul-de-sac, left-in left-out, and reopening Forfar St. “However, when these options were assessed against our specific criteria, looking at how much they affected vehicle speeds and volumes, our wider transport network and other transport modes, the proposals we’re putting forward are the most suitable overall.” • The full plans can be viewed at letstalk.ccc.govt. nz/DEMP and feedback closes on September 27 THE MATATIKI Hornby Centre has received a $400,000 grant from New Zealand Community Trust. The grant will enable the completion of a hydrotherapy pool at the centre which is set to open in early next year and will also include a library and customer service hub, as well as an aquatic centre with a lane pool, spa pool, toddlers’ wet play area and learn-to-swim pool. The city council agreed to provide $2.5 million for the hydrotherapy pool, with the balance of $1.4 million currently being raised by the Hornby Rotary Club and the Greater Hornby Residents Association. Hydrotherapy involves the use of warm water for pain relief, relaxation and a range of treatments. The water temperature is usually between 33-36°C, warmer than swimming pools which are typically kept at 26-28°C. Around the site, the brick work for the pool changing rooms and plant room have been progressing steadily and will be completed in the next few weeks.
