New Plymouth District Council

Commit to the increase of public transport, affordable light rail between our communities. I would rather see people use them, than empty.

Maintain our roads to keep people and users of them safe. Allow more use for alternative transport that the motor car.

Finish off the existing proposed walkways and cycleways between our bigger communities.

Improve consulting process for proposed improvements to roading infrastructure, so that public submissions are informed and effective.

Address public transport deficiencies as a matter of high priority, with affordability, sustainability and access as priorities.

Support the cycling and walking programme, with a priority on engaging communities in the real need for reductions in transport emissions.

Investigate with Taranaki Regional Council a seemingly implausible Taranaki commuter/tourist rail network. Government love this and should participate in funding.

Replace cycleways from main arterial roadways to lesser used streets. Enough off-road walkways and cycleways exist in parallel in our city.

Support for our mayors in critiquing Waka Kotahi until they actively and long-term fix our state highway surfaces and arterial upgrades.

Extend public transport hours so it is readily available to those that work past 5pm and start earlier in the morning.

Ensure there is enough quality control officers to cover the district seeing roading and pathway concerns addressed in a timely fashion.

Reassess the roading speeds out the coast as requested by local residents and reduce the speeds as necessary.

Continue to advocate to Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency to change the funding model to enable districts to retain funding locally.

I support the integration of public transportation into the districts transportation plan by advocating to Taranaki Regional Council who hold legal responsibility.

Road to zero. I support lower speeds near schools and highly hazardous areas but I do not support lowering speeds on rural roads.

Work with Taranaki Regional Council and the rural sector to find ways to connect remote communities into the public transport network.

Support the Waitara to Bell Block walkway extension.

Ensure communities have a mechanism that enable then to voice their concerns regarding road safety matters.

Work with the Taranaki Regional Council to improve public transport options.

Encourage the use of active transport (walking, cycling), by further investment in walking and cycling infrastructure.

Keep putting pressure on Waka Kotahi to improve safety of state highways.

Improve and streamline local bus services to get the best result for end users and ratepayers .

Get some real action on problematic intersections.

Continue to promote alternative transport systems.

Work with regional and central government to vastly improve our public transport to decrease car use and add longevity to our roads.

Make our playgrounds and streets more accessible to our disabled whānau.

Reinvestigate a ferry from New Plymouth to Nelson and Trams along the foreshore/coastal walkway.

Work with central government to install roundabouts.

Promote a second roading bridge over the Waiwhakaiho river.

Combination: public buses, private/enterprises communication around better services.
