Freyberg Street neighbourhood street trial - deciding on the future of these changes
On Freyberg Street, we have been trialling ways to create a quieter and safer street around Lyall Bay School. We made it easier to cross Wha Street and created a child-friendly safe zone outside the school with no through traffic. We also installed a new raised pedestrian crossing on Queens Drive (along with additional speed calming measures) to address longstanding community concerns about speeds on Queens Drive.
T
he trial was introduced to address safety concerns raised by the Lyall Bay School community and nearby residents, particularly around traffic speeds, volumes, and the use of local streets as rat runs.
The Freyberg neighbourhood street trial is coming to an end. Council now needs to decide on the next steps.
Now that it’s been in place for over two years, we have real data and community feedback to help inform that decision.
Overall, the results show:
Traffic volumes on Freyberg Street have significantly reduced (while increasing slightly on Queens Drive).
Speeds have reduced on Freyberg Street, Onepu Road and Queens Drive.
More people, especially children, are walking, scooting and biking to school.
To help Council make a decision, we’d like to hear your thoughts about the changes on Freyberg Street, your relationship to the street and a how you travel through the area. We'll ask you five questions about the project and then a little about yourself. It usually takes 3-5 minutes to complete depending on how much feedback you want to give. All the questions are optional – you don't need to answer them all.
