1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,560 Speaker 1: Bryan Bridge staying in christ Church. A new pedestrian crossing 2 00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:06,320 Speaker 1: is going to have speed bumps, but only on one 3 00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:09,320 Speaker 1: side of the road. You see, Deans av runs right 4 00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:12,480 Speaker 1: down the boundary between the jurisdictions of the White Paper 5 00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:17,200 Speaker 1: and Whypoona community boards. The Wye Papa Community Board has 6 00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:19,720 Speaker 1: voted to include speed bumps in the crossing, but the 7 00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:23,400 Speaker 1: Waypona Community Board has not, so the speed bumps will 8 00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:25,680 Speaker 1: only be installed on the White Pupper side of the road. 9 00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:30,680 Speaker 1: Tyler Harrison Hunt is from the Waypoona board. Jake McClellan 10 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,800 Speaker 1: the Wye Pappa Board. They're both with me. Good evening, 11 00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:37,239 Speaker 1: good evening, Ryan, Good to. 12 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:39,519 Speaker 2: Have christ Church and the news for all the right reasons. 13 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:43,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, no, just a couple of mentions today, Tyler mus 14 00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:47,240 Speaker 1: start with you. So you wait, you remind us, Tyler, 15 00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:49,240 Speaker 1: you're on the speed bump side or the non speed 16 00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:49,960 Speaker 1: bump side. 17 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,040 Speaker 3: We were the board that voted for the non speed 18 00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:54,640 Speaker 3: bump side. 19 00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:57,560 Speaker 1: Okay, do you need a speed bump? Well, clearly you 20 00:00:57,640 --> 00:00:58,640 Speaker 1: don't think so, why not? 21 00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:03,600 Speaker 3: There's a whole lot of things in play here. I'm 22 00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:07,920 Speaker 3: the recording counselor so that's my jurisdiction, particularly for twenty 23 00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 3: eight thousand residents in that area. But to be honest 24 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:14,399 Speaker 3: with you, I wanted to make sure that we had 25 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,440 Speaker 3: consensus across the board without any scraps, so that we 26 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:20,000 Speaker 3: can get this done as fast as we could. There 27 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,679 Speaker 3: was differing views at the board after getting a sort 28 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:24,640 Speaker 3: of feel for the board, so I pushed through to 29 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:26,560 Speaker 3: try and at least get better than the status quo, 30 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,280 Speaker 3: which means putting in the crossing without the speed mumps. 31 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:34,280 Speaker 1: Okay, how dangerous is it, Jake? How many? 32 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:34,520 Speaker 3: Yeah? 33 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:38,480 Speaker 4: Look, it's dangerous when you add a crossing, which is 34 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 4: what we were proposing to do. So when you add 35 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,679 Speaker 4: a crossing but you don't actually do anything to make 36 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,880 Speaker 4: people safe while they're crossing, it can become quite dangerous. 37 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 4: I think Tyler's being modest. He really wanted the plan. 38 00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 4: The air board ended up signing off, but unfortunately, because 39 00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 4: of some colorful characters sitting around his table, wasn't able 40 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,360 Speaker 4: to do so. So he did the best he could 41 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 4: under the circumstances. 42 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,639 Speaker 1: Okay, so I'm just reading here. According to NZTA, there 43 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,240 Speaker 1: were six crashes in the five year period between twenty 44 00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,960 Speaker 1: nineteen and twenty twenty three in the area on Dean's AV. 45 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,920 Speaker 1: No one was injured in four of the crashes and 46 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,799 Speaker 1: two people suffered just minor injuries and the others, I mean, 47 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 1: what are you farting around with this bit of road 48 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:22,920 Speaker 1: for anyway, Tyler. 49 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 3: Well, the thing is that those are the reported incidents 50 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,400 Speaker 3: is and the things that I've been dealing with. I mean, 51 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 3: Recording is the second busiest ward in the city behind 52 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,519 Speaker 3: Central and on Dean's AV You've got fifteen thousand card 53 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:38,079 Speaker 3: movements per day with around two thousand pedestrians. That was 54 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 3: scoped over a four day span, so it's quite a 55 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 3: lot of move in that area. So I just wanted 56 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 3: to make the space safer and outside the mosque, I 57 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,440 Speaker 3: actually witnessed a near miss of a three year old 58 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 3: girl I'm nearly being hit by a van, so it 59 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,440 Speaker 3: was sort of like drinking a cup of cold sick 60 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 3: when I had to push this through. But at the 61 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,400 Speaker 3: end of the day, it's actually a massive, massive win 62 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 3: for the Dean's AV residents. I'm in a messive one 63 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 3: for the everyday users of Hagley Park and Dean's but. 64 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,799 Speaker 1: Can you guys see Jake this to everyone else? I mean, 65 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 1: you guys have got your processes and your meetings and 66 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 1: your whatnots, But to everyone else, it just looks dumb, 67 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,080 Speaker 1: like one side of the road has a bump and the. 68 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:17,919 Speaker 4: Other totally totally build What would be dumb, even dumber 69 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,640 Speaker 4: as if as if neither side had a bump, because 70 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:21,919 Speaker 4: as I said, it's not about. 71 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:22,839 Speaker 2: The incidences that are there. 72 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,519 Speaker 4: Now. If you add a crossing, you're encouraging people to cross, 73 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 4: and if you don't do anything to keep them safe 74 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,359 Speaker 4: while they cross, you're setting them up for I was 75 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:31,920 Speaker 4: going to say a fall, but you're sitting them up 76 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 4: to be hit by car. 77 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 1: Really okay, but but. 78 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 4: We only know it should be on both sides of 79 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 4: the road, is what I'm saying. 80 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 1: Ryan. Okay, but it won't be Tyler because you know 81 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 1: that's a know from you guys. 82 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,680 Speaker 3: Right. Yeah, Well, the board, the board had a different view. 83 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 3: But what I did do was actually after a twelve 84 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 3: twelve month review that there may very well be some 85 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 3: more implementation for those of review. 86 00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 1: Okay, so what what will it actually look like? Can 87 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 1: one of you tell me what will just look like? 88 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 1: If I'm picturing a road, a normal road with a 89 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 1: normal you know, bump on it, that speed bump on it. 90 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 1: It will just be that but one side like chopped 91 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 1: off pretty much. 92 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 3: Yep. 93 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 2: But look, there'll be there'll be a there'll be a 94 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 2: crossing point in the middle. There'll be a crossing point 95 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,720 Speaker 2: in the middle. And the scheme design has the platform 96 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 2: and and a kind of different orientation. But yeah, it'll 97 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,160 Speaker 2: it'll look a little bit kooky. I'm not gonna lie. 98 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,600 Speaker 3: Not noting that it's not a it's not a platform. 99 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,479 Speaker 3: It's a seventy five mil speed hum which is sort 100 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 3: of what they usually use in suburban area. It's a 101 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 3: bit lower, it's it's least some pinging on on a motorist. Again, 102 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:43,839 Speaker 3: it extraly gets the down a little bit. Yeah, okay, 103 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:44,720 Speaker 3: all right, you know. 104 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 4: As opposed to the other side where there's no one pitch. 105 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,919 Speaker 1: But whatsoever, Well, exactly, I think what we need to 106 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:51,719 Speaker 1: do is set up like you need to make this 107 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:56,159 Speaker 1: a tourist attraction to the inefficiency of local government, and 108 00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 1: people can come and take photos for their Instagram. It 109 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,039 Speaker 1: can be like a new I think we should I 110 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 1: think we should provide it's going to bring tourists to 111 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 1: your area.
