Contractor Update

Franklin Road Upgrades Water Main Renewals and Wastewater Separation Works August 2016

4 Stage 1 works 2016 • Site establishment in Collingwood St • Watermain and Vector works from Victoria St to Wellington St on the southern side • Wastewater works on Franklin Road from Wellington St towards Ponsonby Road - Outside Nos. 47-53 • All 2016 works are scheduled for completion by mid November • The programme may change if there are unforeseen ground conditions and/or obstacles encountered during the works

Lighting Update

10 Confirmed Catenary Road Lighting • Luminaire over the centre of the carriageway provides consistent lighting result • Flexibility to locate support poles – uneven spacing is OK • Trees trimmed above luminaires to achieve maximum clearance above road • Significantly less ongoing tree maintenance • Potential to utilise support poles for Christmas decorations • Higher installation cost

11 Footpath Bollard Lighting Advantages Disadvantages • No spill light onto properties • Required a lot of fittings, which led to a significant increase in construction costs • Bollards are vulnerable to vandalism • The lighting result was rather poor once modelled

12 Footpath Column Lighting Advantages Disadvantages • Less fittings required (reduced • Requires some additional lighting the number by 20 positions Vs columns between the catenary Bollards) poles • Luminaires mounted at height • Slight increase in spill onto are less vulnerable to residential properties but still very vandalism. low level • Improved lighting outcome on • However, LED’s are recessed the footpaths resulting in better into each individual spot which uniformity. means the light source won’t be as visible to residents when • Luminaire is flexible allowing compared to the existing road post installation adjustment lighting

13 Confirmed Column Footpath lighting • Located on the back of catenary poles with supplementary columns in between • Typically 5.5m High • Typical spacing every 15-35m between lights • Reduced vulnerability to vandalism • Improved lighting quality over bollard option • Managed spill light effects through the use of flexible and compact amenity style lights

14 AT Design Update

15 Design Progress • Road safety audit on scheme design completed and scheme modified • Ponsonby Road and Victoria Street intersection scheme design developed • Traffic modelling of New World entry and Victoria Street • Agreement with New World • Stormwater detailed design underway • Landscape consultation with AT/AC specialists

16 Scheme Design Changes • Intersection layout revised • Raised cycle facility extended to Victoria St and Ponsonby Road intersections • Raised separators used to provide additional cyclists safety at Victoria St and Ponsonby Road intersections • Signals modified for cycle phase • New World entrance revised • Cycle lanes moved off road at Victoria St.

17 Ponsonby Road Intersection Scheme Design

18 Victoria Street Intersection Scheme Design

19 New World Entrance

20 New World Entrance • Agreement in principle for entrance modifications • Traffic modelling undertaken to determine delays and queues at intersection and in New World • Single lane exit from lower car basement only • Flush median improves delay from car basement • Clearway improves movements also. • Entry detailed design including tracking required.

21 Stormwater Scheme Design Key Issues • Clash with existing and new services • More investigation on existing services. • Design of ‘cycle friendly’ catchpits and location

22 Next Steps • Finalise scheme design • Proceed to detailed design phase • Progress landscape design • Complete stormwater design for both upper and lower Franklin Road • Complete engagement with mana whenua

23 Scheduled Communications

24 Planned Communications • More windscreen flyers on parked vehicles along Franklin Road • Watercare newsletter 1 completed and ready for circulation • Project wide newsletter from AT by the end of August including: • Stage 1 Construction programme and what to expect during construction • Stage 2 Design update • Project contact details during Stage 1 works • Ask people to register for email updates during construction • Project specific comms from Brian Perry to residents and businesses as required • Website update
