Do you think the proposed P5 restrictions for the 4 new carparks by the University Library are appropriate?
No
If not, what restriction/s would you suggest?
I would suggest a minimum of 30 minutes for these parks - at the very least.
Do you think the proposed P5 restrictions for the 5 new carparks opposite Hyde Street are appropriate?
No
If not, what restriction/s would you suggest?
This area has a number of eateries, if people are dining in they would need at least 60 minutes (plus) to order their food and eat/enjoy it.
Do you think these parking restrictions (as shown in the map) are still appropriate?
No
If no, what changes to the restrictions do you recommend?
These parking restrictions will affect businesses in the area, and staff and students at the University of Otago and Polytechnic. The parking restrictions that are indicated in all these areas will cause stress to people who have no other option than to drive to work or study, or want to use the local businesses. Many of the parks that are proposed to be on very short time restrictions are often parked in by students who live in the area and have no parking provided on their house site. They are also used by students visiting the library for study purposes, of which would not be completed within short time restrictions.
Clyde Street - proposed 4 x pick up/drop off parks / paid 120 and 2 120 paid parking, query why these are 120 parks and why the all day parks on the opposite side of the road appear to have been deleted/disappeared? Would suggest these parks are all retained as all-day parking or minimum of 4 hour parking zone.
Leith Street - Query why there are 4 x 120 paid parking? Retain all day parking in this area as it currently is or minimum of 4 hour parking zone.
Do you have any other comments about the proposed restrictions on Albany Street and surrounding streets?
The current parking arrangements are fully utilised, changing these for short term parks is not conducive to assisting people in the everyday working and other activities. Will create stress and seems like a money grabbing exercise.
