Submissions

We welcome this opportunity to submit on Manukau City Council’s Draft 10 year  Plan.

Walking - the policy picture
A key target of the NZ Transport Strategy 2008 is that the mode share of walking and cycling should grow to 30% by 2040. This target is linked to other key NZTS targets, in particular to halve per capita greenhouse gas emissions from transport by 2040 and to reduce single occupant vehicle travel (in major urban areas on weekdays) by 10%  by 2015.

We congratulate the Council on this exciting initiative to create a more pedestrian friendly inner city environment.  We especially support the idea of this being a “prototype streetscape design for ‘slow streets’ which can be used for busier traffic links in the central city”.  We look forward to seeing the spread of slow streets so enhancing the social and economic vibrancy of the inner city.

We support the concept of the Hereford Street Plan in general.  Please keep us informed about  future consultation about this project.
