| Please share any comments you have about why you chose to support/oppose the different options. |
[Refer Document attached]
I am in support of the idea of separating motorists and designing better paths for cyclists/scooters and pedestrians (as shown in Options 1 & 2). However, combining cyclists/scooters and pedestrians (along a shared path) is dangerous for all parties. Although I support the general intent of Options 1 & 2, I am strongly opposed to them useless a dedicated cycleway is provided, with marked separation from the Pedestrian Path. Options 1 & 2 can easy be adapted to provide this along Peachgrove Road beside the Hamilton Boys High School boundary fence. |
| How important or unimportant was retaining parking spaces on Peachgrove Road when deciding your support/opposition to each of the options? |
Somewhat important
|
| Please share any comments you have about potential reductions to the number of parking spots on Peachgrove Road. |
Am in support of removing parking on Peachgrove Rd if this helps make it safer for motorist, buses, cyclists, scooters and pedestrians.
However, at School Drop off and Pick-up the side roads already face significant problems. If parking is reduced this will only get worse. No matter which option is adopted, a Strategy is needed for the Side Roads. (Refer to Figure 5 in the attached document). |
| For Option 1: Do you support adding raised pedestrian and cycling crossings on nearby streets at an additional $600,000, bringing the total project cost to $5.4m? |
No
|
| Please provide any additional comments you may have about raised pedestrian and cycle crossings for Option 1. |
I am in favour of a raised crossing at HBHS entry (as well as a dedicated cycleway on this side), but not on the Peachgrove Intermediate Side of Peachgrove.
|
| For Option 2: Do you support adding raised pedestrian and cycling crossings on nearby streets at an additional $300,000, bringing the total project cost to $4.3m? |
No
|
| For Option 3: Do you support adding a raised pedestrian and cycling crossing on Wilson St at an additional $150,000, bringing the total project cost to $1.2m? |
No
