Wednesday's agenda omits information as highlighted in orange, but includes -
Raglan Transport Assessment an 88 page study by Gray Matter (author of 30kph in Bow St) of where to put roads for 12,500 people in 2070 (“more aspirational than realistic”!) Although dated 4 June, it must have been the source of many of the $44.2m of roundabouts, traffic signals and bridge, now mostly deleted from the Long Term Plan. It supports a structure plan to “build consensus, and foster a sense of ownership and inclusion in the planning process”, active modes, public transport and says, “western growth cells will be within biking distance to both the Raglan town centre to the east, and the beaches to the west.” However, it makes no proposals for cycling, walking, or buses. Weekend afternoon delays on the bridge are worse “than would typically be deemed acceptable”, but Raglan is said to have a “higher tolerance for lower levels of service” and “the bridge as a constraint to restrict traffic to the southwest is desirable for some people”. Traffic calming for Bow St.
