Early Improvements Update 15 May 2018

Project Process 2

Candidate Early Improvements • 107 interventions • Considered to the stage where sufficient willingness and resource will enable delivery within three years • Most still require definition, investigation and assessment • Prioritised into 15 mostly geographic packages • Identified potential candidates for showcase and trial • Current estimate of cost is o $M 40 – 60 capex (including 20 – 30 of cycling) o $M 10 – 17 opex 3

Implementation Planning 107 interventions – if delivered under BAU • WCC – 75 • NZTA – 31 • GWRC – 1 Legal advice confirms that WCC traffic resolution decisions cannot be delegated • Any changes to parking or traffic restrictions on WCC roads Therefore the delivery mechanism needs some thinking 4

Prioritisation • Setting safer speeds first to prioritise safety • Benefits realisation – seeking biggest benefit returns first • Only a matter of months between different packages starting, intention is to deliver as many as possible early in the programme • Showcase and trial opportunities identified 5

Prioritisation Investment Objectives Sub-Total Multimodal Liveability Resilience Access Safety Showcase Prioritisation - weave these points into a story, it's only a matter of months between them and there's a bold desire to Trial Package Description do it all Reducing speed limits on selected roads in the CBD and 2 -1 1 3 0 5 Setting Safer Speeds sections of SH1 east of Mt Vic Potential to significantly improve safety across the network Corridor length improvements to walking and cycling Showcase project with good multi-modal benefits, and the 2 1 2 1 0 6 Featherston St priority, and provision of cycling facilities on Whitmore potential to improve the last mile pedestrian trip from rail Bus priority enhancements, minor safety improvements, Golden Mile 2 1 2 1 0 6 and trial restriction of general traffic on sections of Network wide PT benefits as a pre-cursor to lane drop on the northern Willis Street and Courtenay Place Quays Package of relatively low cost minor at-grade Basin Reserve 0 3 1 1 0 5 improvements to improve efficienct access Improving a critical conflict point Public transport and cycling priority along the corridor with Improve PT and cycle trips from the north, begin to 1 1 1 2 0 5 Hutt Road integrated pedestrian improvements discourage private vehicle use as a pre-cursor to lane drop Traffic signal and intersection enhancements, pedestrian crossing improvments and shelter and wayfinding Isolated Minor enhancements, lengthening nine bus stops to meet 1 1 1 1 1 5 Improvements minimum standard, further use of technology to improve management of on-street parking Progress minor individual projects as possible Improved signal operations, applying MaaS platform to Operational 0 2 1 0 2 5 Wellington context, improved incident management, Improvements enhancing existing TDM programmes Progress minor individual projects as possible Corridor length improvements to walking and cycling Large PT LoS gap, but not currently high numbers of buses 1 1 2 1 0 5 Willis/Victoria priority or cyclists Restrict parking on Vivian Street and minor efficiency Karo / Vivian 0 2 1 1 0 4 improvements Implementing cycling connections and pedestrian Dixon Street 1 0 2 1 0 4 improvements Pedestrian and cycle crossing signals on Cobham Drive, 1 0 1 2 0 4 SH1 East of Mt Vic bus priority and minor intersection safety improvements (dependency with setting safer speeds) Trial cycling and bus priority improvements in advance of 1 1 1 1 0 4 Taranaki St final corridor form 0 1 2 0 0 3 Newtown Review bus lane priorities 6 Pedestrian priority and crossing enhancements, Bowen The Terrace 1 -1 2 1 0 3 Street bus lanes/clearways 0 1 0 1 0 2 Motorway Corridor Minor efficiency and safety improvements
