Morning
no worries happy to chat about this.
Ah I see – that is much the case elsewhere in Wellington with canopies‐ very hard to remove them!
Yes logically speaking‐ it does make sense to keep the stop where it is now under its temporary relocation‐ however,
to make this the permanent location of the bus stop, we would need to go through a formal consultation process
with business owners directly affected to see whether they support the relocation or not‐ and judging by the
negative reactions to the bus stop relocation by business owners, it may prove difficult to settle the bus stop there
permanently.
We will discuss internally our next steps and whether we should look at consulting the businesses on permanently
relocating – or continuing with plans to carry out the kerb build out at the bus stops original location.
It is great to make contact with you and know we have your support should we go down the track of formal
consultation on stop 8006’s permanent relocation.
To note‐ during the next 12 months, we will see how the bus stop operates in its new location, and we may even
find that this new location becomes a preferred one by all.
Thanks again for reaching out
we will be in touch
Cheers
Leona

Thanks for your email Leona, thats great info.
Yes that's our canopy and unfortunately we can not remove it as Petone heritage & council won't let us. We do plan
to refurbish or completely rebuild it depending on how bad the damage is once we remove the linings.
We are required by council and heritage to rebuild the canopy as it is exactly now.
Unfortunately with all the hoops we have to jump through to get a days work done on this we are probably a fair
while off being given the go ahead to start this work.
As per my email I'd suggest saving the hassle & cost of building out the kerbline and leaving the bus stop where it is
now, there are a number of reasons (mostly safety) for this and if you know the area it just makes sense!
As below I'am more than happy to meet you out onsite or come in for a chat anytime to explain the case above to
relocate this permanently as it is now.
Cheers

Good morning
Susannah has kindly passed this conversation onto myself as I was the one that instigated the bus stop relocation
to outside Hells Pizza and Subway to be clear of the canopy at 338 Jackson Street.
As you are probably aware, we had to recently relocate the bus stop as we have had a sudden increase in
successive strikes to eb canopy by bus drivers as they turn into the bus stop and navigate the bus to algin parallel
(as much as they can) to the kerb to load/unload customers.
This canopy at 338 Jackson Street has been an issue for bus for a long time‐ meaning that we have had multiple
drivers strike the canopy because of its proximity to the kerbline, combined with the bus swing path‐ and the
introduction of newer/different buses that have different swing paths.
2
We are planning to build out the kerbline at the existing bus stop location outside 228 Jackson Street to keep buses
away from this canopy in future‐ this is scheduled to be completed within the next 12 months
However‐ due to the most recent strikes to the canopy (in past couple weeks)‐ I have had to relocate the stop
temporarily (until we can carry out the kerb build out at the existing bus stop) due to health and safety reasons‐ if
drivers happen to strike the canopy again, then the canopy could fail and fall on someone underneath it‐ we just
cant take that risk!
I see from the email trail below you are planning to remove the canopy at 338 Jackson Street? Can you confirm
what the story is here?
Can you also confirm we are talking about the same canopy‐ the one below?

Cheers, hear from you soon

Hi Susannah, I hope you are well.
I spoke to someone yesterday about this and they said I'd need to talk to someone in that infrastructure team so
I'm wondering if you could help/point me in the right direction?
The bus stop has been moved temporarily as you will be aware and common sense would say that it should stay
where it is now permanently rather than widening the footpath. One reason (of many) is when the footpath is
widened the bus will then stop in the middle of the main road and I'm pretty sure it would cause absolute chaos on
both sides of the road.
Where it is temporarily located the buses can pull over completely out of the way of traffic safely and the buildings
don't have canopies so there is no public safety risk either.
There are a multitude of reasons why it should be permanently located where it is now and I'd love to talk to
someone about that, I'm also happy to take photos and send those to explain my case above as those may explain
my case better.
I'd also be happy to come in for a chat or meet anyone out on location to discuss, as it just makes so much sense
when you see it! The current set‐up of the temporary stop and car parks makes sense and the area already feels
like it flows so much better.
Feel free to pass this onto anyone internal or get them to give me a call any time, Cheers

4pm would be better, could you send the TMP when ready, if the TMP shows that the temporary stop is large
enough and nearby then customers will see the temp stop easily , 1 x full working day is enough notice to give
everyone heads up

Thanks Susannah, What time do you think would work best? As I can discuss with the construction manager ‐ also
how much notice do you require?
Thanks again,

Ok‐ if you can add the temporary stop to the TMP, and that Metlink requires notice before the bus stop
relocation, that would be good and send it through so we check it please?
5pm is rather late for that stop as I suspect its quite busy along there.

Hi
,
I manage service disruptions at Metlink.

I think you must be talking about bus stop 8006‐ Jackson street at Bolton Street, this stop is a
major stop so we would need to relocate the stop.
Are you able to send through the TMP, this stop is 23m which gives space for 1 x bus to stop but
space for a taper for entry and exit. We could possibly relocate the stop to the east using the
three car spaces as shown below and some of the bus stop‐ would this be possible?

Hi there, could you please advise who I will need to contact about the
temporary closure of the bus stop as per the works below, these works
are a result of buses continuing to hit and damage the canopy on the
property.
Cheers

Hi
, hope all is well.
We've had the outstanding documents put together with a local firm (see
attached).
We initially need just 1 days work and we have the contractor ready to go at 2‐3
weeks' notice.
Let me know if you need any clarifications.
Cheers

Hi there, I came in for a visit at the end of last year as we have a resource
consent to demolish and reconstruct our veranda at 336‐338 Jackson St. The
RM number is RM210069.
We have someone now available to do the demolition and they need 1 day for
the demolition initially, I'm wanting to know how we go about getting that 1
day approved? The work will take 4‐5 hours to take down and remove all
materials etc,
Any help/advice would be appreciated.
Cheers
