I refer to your email below regarding raised platforms at intersections.

 

Council Response

Below we have a partial response to your request. We will be answering the
rest of your queries as indicated, and I expect to have a final response
to you by close of business Thursday. The only exception is your question
“Any other relevant information related to raised platforms at
intersections”. This is considered too broad and therefore is refused due
to the lack of specificity (LGOIMA s17(f)). However, please let us know if
you can refine this to a specific question.

 

Please provide all information, reports, and plans regarding the
investigation and installation of raised platforms at intersections, like
the one recently installed at Lincoln/Whiteleigh/Barrington and the one
recently approved for installation at Wigram/Hayton.

 

Information should include, but not be limited to:

 

- The additional costs involved in installation compared to an
intersection without a raised platform.

To be provided.  

 

- Investigations and reports into the impacts on safety for all road
users.

Dear Dan

 

I refer to your request regarding raised platforms at intersections.

 

I now have a completed response to your queries. Please see Council’s
answers below.

 

 

- The additional costs involved in installation compared to an
intersection without a raised platform.

o For the Wigram/Hayton intersection, the scheme design stage cost
estimate indicates that the installation of the proposed raised
platforms and associated stormwater drainage at the intersection is
approximately $195,000. This cost may be reduced following further
investigation at the detailed design stage.
o For the Lincoln/Whiteleigh/Barrington intersection, the “post scheme
design” estimate (the same stage of the project timing wise as
Langdons) was $750k. This was prior to detail design, stormwater
complications etc. The total project cost was approximately $900k;
however, it is not possible to definitively say of this cost what was
intersection and what was platform. There was a lot of difficulty with
levels and making the platforms wheelchair usable (moving power poles,
widening footpath, modifying design, etc).

 

- Investigations and reports into the impacts on safety for all road
users.

We use data and resources provided by others, this includes and is not
limited to:

o Hamilton City Council Guidance:

- A list of intersections that are planned to have raised platforms
installed in future.

o Confirmed locations for platforms at intersections include the
Briggs/Marshland intersection, Ferry Road/Aldwins Road/Ensors Road
intersection and Aldwins/Linwood/Buckleys intersection.
o Council are currently consulting on platforms at the [6]Shirley/Hills
intersection, Shirley/Marshland intersection and the
[7]Hansons/Riccarton/Waimairi intersection. Further information can be
found on our Let’s Talk page: [8]https://letstalk.ccc.govt.nz/
o Waka Kotahi are implementing platforms also at the
Peer/Yaldhurst/Curletts intersection. Further information can be found
here: [9]https://nzta.govt.nz/projects/sh73-yaldh...

 

- The results of community consultation (if any) that has been conducted
prior to installation of raised platforms.

o Briggs/Marshland intersection – See item 10 of the [10]Council Report.
o Wigram/Hayton intersection – 54 submissions received from the public
consultation for proposed intersection improvement. Of them, 9
submissions supported or believed the proposed raised platform would
improve intersection safety, whereas 7 submissions did not support the
proposed raised platform.

 

- Details of any and all incidents and motor vehicle crashes that have
occurred at intersections since they have had raised platforms installed,
and the resulting investigations.
