• Install P5 Time Limited Parking Restriction, 8.30am to 9.00am and 2.45pm to 3.15pm, Mon-Fri During School Terms Only, opposite nos.7 and 9 Arawa Road

Why? •

Wellington City Council (WCC) have received safety and accessibility concerns from Hataitai School. During the school pick up and drop off times, parking demand is high, and vehicles have been parking in a way that obstructs visibility at the school crossing on Hohiria Road.

• Hataitai School have also requested a mobility park to improve accessibility for members of the school whanau with a mobility permit card, as there is currently no mobility parking in the vicinity.

• Therefore, WCC proposes to install additional P5 Time Limited Parking during school terms only for pick up and drop off periods to encourage vehicle turnover and to provide a safe place for parents and caregivers.

• WCC also proposes to install a new mobility parking space and kerb ramp for mobility permit holders.
