Following is information from the previous proposal:
In September 2018, Wellington City Council consulted with the Hataitai community regarding a proposal to install traffic lights at the intersection of Moxham Avenue, Hataitai Road and Waitoa Road to improve safety, particularly for pedestrians.
Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on this proposal. We received and published the results of the feedback on our website in November 2018 – you can view the report here.
We had great engagement with the community on this proposal, with nearly 800 people, businesses and organisations taking the time to provide a submission, 82% of these being residents. While more than half of respondents answered ‘YES’ to having experienced, witnessed or being aware of crashes or near misses at the intersection, only 32% supported the installation of traffic lights.
We concluded that based on a high percentage of concerns received regarding the safety at the intersection, there was a definite mandate to make safety improvements, but not for traffic lights.
Following the engagement our Council officers have assessed various other options (15 in total) and a roundabout is now being proposed.
After consulting the public on the proposed roundabout, the next step is to legalise the parking changes, Give Way controls and relocation of the zebra crossings through a Traffic Resolution presented to the Strategy and Policy Committee in September 2020. It is expected to begin construction of the roundabout in late 2020.
