Albany Street Connection Project Parking Submission

Submission

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?
A P5 is useless, what are you going to get done in 5 minutes, 90 minutes.

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?
A P5 is useless, 30 minutes minimum.

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?
There are way too many Car parking spaces lost in this project for business visitors, university and polytech staff and students. Give us all a break, we come to classes for 1/2 or a full day not 120 minutes. Do a better job of it, get rid of some of the trees, shrink the already oversized footpath outside the library & make space for both cars and bikes / pedestrians. Make one side angled parking all the way down Albany St if need be. Make some of these seasonal or smarter as the whole area changes from Sept-Feb. Stop with the excessive curb buildouts that make near misses with buses a constant stress. Like at the new poorly designed Forth / Union St intersection. It's just a matter of time before someone gets injured there. There's a huge pointless grass verge on both sides of Anzac Ave outside the Polytech, get rid of that and make some of it all-day angled parking for the tertiary precinct.

Do you have any other comments about the proposed restrictions on Albany Street and surrounding streets?

It's just a matter of time before someone gets injured there with the stupid 'right of way' design. There's a huge pointless grass verge on both sides of Anzac Ave outside the Polytech, get rid of that and make some of it all-day angled parking for the tertiary precinct. Build us a Tertiary Precinct Parking space that Students / Staff of OP / Otago Uni / Hospital Staff can all use at fair prices.
