Submission from the WaitakereWaeWae Walking
on the Safer Journeys Discussion Document, August 2009
Submitted 2 October 2009
WWW.LSA shares Living Streets Aotearoa’s vision of
More people choosing to walk more often.
Living Streets Waitakere is working to make all areas of Waitakere City more walking-friendly and to create a place which is, and is perceived to be, a safe pedestrian environment which encourages walking for transport, health and leisure.
We welcome this opportunity to submit on Manukau City Council’s Draft 10 year Plan.
Walking - the policy picture
A key
target of the NZ Transport Strategy 2008 is that the mode share of walking and
cycling should grow to 30% by 2040. This target is linked to other key NZTS
targets, in particular to halve per capita greenhouse gas emissions from
transport by 2040 and to reduce single occupant vehicle travel (in major urban
areas on weekdays) by 10% by 2015.
Living Streets Aotearoa is the New Zealand organisation for people on foot, promoting walking-friendly communities. We are a nationwide organisation with local branches and affiliates throughout New Zealand.
We want more people walking and enjoying public spaces be they young or old, fast or slow, whether walking, sitting, commuting, shopping, between appointments, or out on the streets for exercise, for leisure or for pleasure.
