Contractor Update

Franklin Road Upgrades Water Main Renewals and Wastewater Separation Works

August 2016

4

• Site establishment in Collingwood St
• Watermain and Vector works from Victoria St to Wellington

St on the southern side

• Wastewater works on Franklin Road from Wellington St

towards Ponsonby Road - Outside Nos. 47-53

• All 2016 works are scheduled for completion by mid

November

• The programme may change if there are unforeseen ground

conditions and/or obstacles encountered during the works

Lighting Update

10

• Luminaire over the centre of the

carriageway provides consistent lighting result

• Flexibility to locate support poles – uneven

spacing is OK

• Trees trimmed above luminaires to

achieve maximum clearance above road

• Significantly less ongoing tree

maintenance

• Potential to utilise support poles for

Christmas decorations

• Higher installation cost

Confirmed Catenary Road Lighting

11

Advantages

• No spill light onto properties

Disadvantages

• Required a lot of fittings, which led

to a significant increase in construction costs

• Bollards are vulnerable to

vandalism

• The lighting result was rather poor
• nce modelled

Footpath Bollard Lighting

12

Advantages

• Less fittings required (reduced

the number by 20 positions Vs Bollards)

• Luminaires mounted at height

are less vulnerable to vandalism.

• Improved lighting outcome on

the footpaths resulting in better uniformity.

• Luminaire is flexible allowing

post installation adjustment Disadvantages

• Requires some additional lighting

columns between the catenary poles

• Slight increase in spill onto

residential properties but still very low level

• However, LED’s are recessed

into each individual spot which means the light source won’t be as visible to residents when compared to the existing road lighting

Footpath Column Lighting

13

• Located on the back of catenary poles with

supplementary columns in between

• Typically 5.5m High
• Typical spacing every 15-35m between lights
• Reduced vulnerability to vandalism
• Improved lighting quality over bollard option
• Managed spill light effects through the use of

flexible and compact amenity style lights

AT Design Update

15

• Road safety audit on scheme design completed

and scheme modified

• Ponsonby Road and Victoria Street intersection

scheme design developed

• Traffic modelling of New World entry and Victoria

Street

• Agreement with New World
• Stormwater detailed design underway
• Landscape consultation with AT/AC specialists

Design Progress

16

Scheme Design Changes

• Intersection layout revised
• Raised cycle facility extended to Victoria St and

Ponsonby Road intersections

• Raised separators used to provide additional

cyclists safety at Victoria St and Ponsonby Road intersections

• Signals modified for cycle phase
• New World entrance revised
• Cycle lanes moved off road at Victoria St.

New World Entrance

20

• Agreement in principle for entrance modifications
• Traffic modelling undertaken to determine delays

and queues at intersection and in New World

• Single lane exit from lower car basement only
• Flush median improves delay from car basement
• Clearway improves movements also.
• Entry detailed design including tracking required.

New World Entrance

21

Stormwater Scheme Design

Key Issues

• Clash with existing and new services
• More investigation on existing services.
• Design of ‘cycle friendly’ catchpits and location

22

• Finalise scheme design
• Proceed to detailed design phase
• Progress landscape design
• Complete stormwater design for both upper and

lower Franklin Road

• Complete engagement with mana whenua

Next Steps

23

Scheduled Communications

24

• More windscreen flyers on parked vehicles along Franklin Road
• Watercare newsletter 1 completed and ready for circulation
• Project wide newsletter from AT by the end of August including:
• Stage 1 Construction programme and what to expect

during construction

• Stage 2 Design update
• Project contact details during Stage 1 works
• Ask people to register for email updates during construction
• Project specific comms from Brian Perry to residents and

businesses as required

• Website update

Planned Communications
