The results are in . . . Did you think key transport routes to and from the central city should have on-street parking removed at all times to prioritise the movement of traffic, safety, and prioritise public transport?

17 March 2020

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts on our final Quick Poll - should key transport routes to and from the central city have on-street parking removed at all times to prioritise the movement of traffic, safety and prioritise public transport? We appreciate all of the votes and discussion this question generated.

At poll closure we received 179 votes, 71% said they think we should have on-street parking to and from key transport routes removed, and 29% said no.


Among the feedback received on Facebook key themes were:

  • Keep pedestrian crossing a top priority

  • Spaces and parking for tradespeople are a priority and be available

  • Vehicles shouldn’t be parked on main roads as they slow the movement of people

  • Having buses that run on time will help move more people efficiently

  • Must make sure there are still parking spaces for those with mobility permits

  • Less cars parked on the street could mean less time buses get stuck in traffic

Thank you for voting on our quick polls this last month. They are just one of the ways we are seeking your feedback on how we manage parking. Our formal consultation is now open, so please make sure to make a submission online or by post using a submission form available at your nearest local library.
