Improving vehicle access in Kenmure Avenue

About the project

In response to requests from the local community, we are improving vehicle access along Kenmure Avenue in Forrest Hill.

This is a narrow cul-de-sac and having cars parked on both sides of the road presents access issues for residents, emergency services and large vehicles like rubbish trucks. Changes are needed to make sure driveways are kept clear and there is ease of access for everyone to get in and out of their homes and the street safely.

What we are proposing

• Paint no stopping at all times (broken yellow lines) from outside #28 to #59 Kenmure Avenue.

• To ensure clear access to this section of the road, we will need to re-allocate road space and remove approximately 14 parking spaces.

Benefits and impacts

• Clears and ensures ease of access for all residents, emergency services and large vehicles such as rubbish trucks into and out of Kenmure Avenue.
• Improves visibility for drivers to see oncoming vehicles as well as people walking, cycling and crossing the road. This makes it safer particularly for tamariki (children), who can be hard to see when there are lots of cars parked on the road.
• Improves safety by preventing parked vehicles from obstructing their view coming out of driveways and access to homes along the road during emergency situations.

Please remember to park courteously and avoid blocking driveways. Vehicles parked illegally may receive infringement notices or be towed away.

What we want your feedback on

• Tell us what you think of our proposed changes and if we’ve missed anything
• Whilst we have designed the extent of the no stopping zone to ensure clear access for your street, we want you to tell us if there’s any other considerations from your local perspective.
