Curious, concerned: Picton residents weigh in on SH1 changes
In a small room in Picton's library, dozens of people have gathered to discuss the intricacies of truck routes, intersections, school crossings, and parking spaces. They pored over stands and wall displays, showing the proposed permanent State Highway 1 route along Kent St to the ferry terminal, instead of through central Picton. The proposed changes have already caused controversy, with one resident calling the changes 'horrible', when they were announced on June 11. NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi's pop-up sessions on Tuesday and Wednesday hummed with questions, fresh ideas and a bit of debate. But not from Heather Hopkins, a resident of upper Kent St, who had popped in on Wednesday afternoon to see how the highway would go past her home. She was pretty happy, she said. ADVERTISEMENT Picton resident Heather Hopkins says she has no concerns about NZTA's proposed changes. (Source: Local Democracy Reporting) 'I'm not really affected, I just wanted more information,' Hopkins said. '[I have] no concerns at all, it'll be free flowing once everyone gets used to it.' In the evening session, people were most drawn to the board showing where Kent St met the Wairau Rd/SH1 intersection, which would take ferry passengers and freight trucks from the terminals out of town under the new proposal. Lara O'Brien, who lived around the corner from Kent St, said the intersection's new alignment would would cut residents off from their own town centre during peak traffic. Drivers on SH1 south of Kent St wanting to get into central Picton would need to make a right-hand turn onto Wairau Rd towards Nelson Square. During peak ferry traffic, they would be stuck in a right-turning lane with no gaps, O'Brien said. Changes to the intersection of State Highway 1 and Wairau Rd are proposed as part of a realignment of SH1 through Picton. (Source: Local Democracy Reporting) ADVERTISEMENT 'These people [leaving the ferry terminal] get to just go, but people going to town, when do they get to go?' O'Brien said. 'You get 60 trucks coming out of the ferry terminal ...This is going to be a congestion point for locals coming out of town.' Another group lingered around the board showing the relocation of the Picton School crossing on Kent St. Many of the attendees were reluctant to speak publicly about their opinions on the divisive subject. The loss of roadside parking and problems with trucks parking along the road were common complaints. A truck driver from Levin, whose cousin was a Picton-based truckie, came along to the evening session. He said NZTA did a similar consultation about a pedestrian overpass in Levin, and he was sceptical that feedback would alter the proposal. Graphics supplied by NZTA show the loss of parking on Kent St under the new proposal. (Source: Local Democracy Reporting) A Picton resident praised NZTA for moving the crossing outside Picton School back to its original position, saying he didn't know why it was put there a few years ago. 'They're just putting it back to where it was because people don't use it.' ADVERTISEMENT NZTA regional manager of system design Robert Osborne said the sessions were a valuable way of sharing information with Picton residents and getting their feedback. 'The drop-in sessions were all well attended with around 30-40 people each session, and some coming to visit us a couple of times to ask further questions,' Osborne said. 'We received a great range of questions and comments which will help us with our detailed design work. 'We also understand ... that there will likely be a wide range of opinions about them. 'However, this project is aimed at improving Picton's roads and making it easier for people to get around. We look forward to continuing to hear from the community about our plans.' Design plans would now be finalised and work would start next winter. By Kira Carrington for Local Democracy Reporting ADVERTISEMENT LDR is local body journalism co-funded by RNZ and NZ On Air

Motorists urged to be cautious
New Zealand Transport Agency Waka Kotahi (NZTA) is urging motorists to slow down and take extreme care as icy conditions are expected to persist this week on state highways in the South Island's Mackenzie Basin. A combination of freezing temperatures, fog, hoar frosts and black ice means challenging conditions for travel on State Highways 8 and 80 over the next few days, the biggest concern being drivers not adapting to the conditions. In a statement, NZTA system manager Mark Pinner said "On SH8 in particular, there are many sheltered areas where build-up of ice is a major concern." Mr Pinner said bridge surfaces could cool quickly, and re-freezing could even occur in the late morning. "We've already had reports of people driving too fast for the conditions and truck and trailer units fishtailing. We also know it's going to get busier later in the week, as we get closer to the long holiday weekend for Matariki. Reducing speed is the biggest thing drivers can do to keep themselves safe and to help keep the highways open." "One of the measures we are employing to slow traffic down are temporary speed limits which can be employed on parts of the highway network that are most at risk." The temporary speed limit of 50kmh had been put into effect on State Highway 8 at sites like each side of Lake Tekapo township, and near the Tekapo Military Camp, the Tekapo Flyover (over the Tekapo Canal) and Simons Pass. Mr Pinner said "This is not our usual approach, but the nature of the conditions forecast for this week means we need to use every tool we can to keep people safe on the roads." "Our typical de-icing agents are at the extreme range of where they aren't as effective, and while we are gritting the roads, driving to conditions is a key part of keeping road access safe also." "If the conditions warrant it, we will close the highway, most likely overnight and through the high-risk early morning period. People need to plan ahead if they are travelling in the area — keep an eye on our Journey Planner site." These precautions came after last week's closures of State Highway 8 in the Mackenzie Basin. He said at the time: "With the snow continuing to fall and roads becoming extremely icy at nights, our teams made good calls to do some overnight closures between Fairlie and Twizel in recent days." Mr Pinner said, "While we know these closures can be disruptive for some, I have no doubt that those decisions helped to prevent accidents and stranding of vehicles that could have led to much longer closures and even greater disruption. We know this because we have already had to deal with stranded and crashed vehicles in the last week, as people were caught out by the weather and road conditions." He said: "Preventing travel when the risk is at its highest also means less risk posed to emergency services that get called in to help when something goes wrong." "Closing down the highway overnight enabled our crews to work around the clock safely, to remove snow and de-ice, grit the roads, and then to lead vehicle convoys at controlled speeds through the affected stretch of highway to allow reopening." "Our crews have done some outstanding work on SH8 and other South Island highways over the last week to minimise the impacts on motorists and residents." Key considerations for winter driving include adjusting speeds to suit the conditions, being visible, increasing following distances on slippery roads and avoiding sudden braking or turning movements. "Winter has only just begun and we know there will be plenty more weather events to deal with. If everyone plays their part, then it makes life easier for all of us."

After public outcry, NZTA reinstates features to Ō2NL Highway
After extensive public concern over proposed design changes to the Ōtaki to north of Levin highway, the NZTA Board has confirmed it will reinstate several critical features to the project. Last month, 1News reported the Horowhenua community said it had been "blindsided" by the changes to the expressway project to cut costs, which included scaling back the planned interchange to a roundabout. 'This is a significant and very welcome moment for Horowhenua,' Mayor Bernie Wanden said today. 'We've done it,' Ōtaki MP Tim Costley said. Additional funding has been confirmed for Tararua Rd in Levin to be a grade-separated interchange. ADVERTISEMENT The southern connection, near Taylors Rd, would include a southbound onramp, allowing vehicles travelling south on the current SH1 to join the Peka Peka to Ōtaki expressway north of Ōtaki. The local road at Manakau Heights would be connected across the new highway via a bridge. 'It's not just a good outcome; it's the right outcome,' Wanden said. By 2040, Horowhenua was expected to have an additional 16,000 people living in the district, and more than 760,000 people living within an hour's drive. 'We understand people were frustrated, even disillusioned at times, but this outcome shows what's possible when a community comes together and speaks with clarity and conviction. "It's a win not just for us, but for future generations who will benefit from this safer, more resilient corridor,' Wanden said. The Ōtaki to north of Levin project has been coming for a decade and locals want the road they were promised. (Source: 1News) ADVERTISEMENT NZTA chief executive Brett Gliddon said the agency considered value for money options — and listened to community feedback. The Ō2NL project was part of the Government's Roads of National Significance, and construction was set to begin later this year, with the road scheduled to open in 2029. 'Together we have secured the road we wanted,' Costley said. 'This decision shows the value in have strong local advocacy, and strong representatives fighting our local cause in Wellington and across the region.' The construction and operation of the road wouldl have a range of economic benefits associated with population and urban growth, employment, and economic activity. NZTA documents showed that the overall net GDP impact of the project was estimated at between $1.157 billion and $1.258 billion.
