Wellington Maps

• Susan Warren and Chris Horne to be involved in project management.  Chris to compile list of maps currently available.
• Soon presented WCC list of all connecting pedestrian pathways between streets in Wellington
• Joanna informed of revamping of Northern, Southern, Eastern, City to Sea and Te Kopahau Walkways brochures – extending distribution utilising Recreation Wellington’s list and also looking to put on website for downloading
• Joanna noted that currently looking at Oriental Bay to Mt. Victoria access – upgrading of tracks and producing pamphlets
• Joanna also noted that Northern and Southern maps include tracks that link to these
• Alexia raised question of which tracks are wheelchair accessible.  Where could these be created?  These could be identified on maps using symbol.  DOC currently working on criteria for wheelchairs i.e. gradients, and have been involved with wide consultation.
• Celia noted all tracks to be available on GIS – in future looking at suburbs linking to city.
• Soon stated that Council is currently looking at signage for walkways – city landscape development type and not wanting to look like traffic sign.  “Commuting routes” – physical paper showing walks.  Tranzit have said if WCC can produce standards then they will pay for walks running alongside motorway to be signed
• Alexia contracted to audit accessible walks, carparks, toilets and bus terminal – signage at bus terminal poor.
• Jane raised issue of stormwater repairs being undertaken around waterfront: not enough room for two-way pedestrian/cycle traffic.  Issue to be raised within council
• Celia to find Jason’s maps (no longer published) as these included where walks are, different activities, accessible toilets etc
• Noted that District Plan (CBD for Canopies) shows paper roads but does not indicate if adequate paths
• Celia to email those responsible for “Ngaio Walking Tracks” – are they to produce new edition and can they include accessible tracks if given criteria?
• Iona to look into Elizabeth Viggers’ “Around and About in Wellington” – copyright contracted to DCM but not currently being utilised so contract may possibly be passed on
• Greater Wellington have new web page development showing public transport, but also possible to type in address and will show pedestrian access and public transport
• Celia to search National Library and Wellington Archives to search for maps
• Brent to contact Leslie McConnell to keep updated with cycle plans, due to most walkways being dual-purpose with pedestrians and cyclists
• Noted that there are gaps between outer suburbs linking to inner-suburbs and to city
