What’s included in the proposal?
- Changing Miro Street, between Matai Street and Hinau Street, to one-way
- Adding new angled parking spaces along this section of Miro Street
- Converting all existing parking spaces on this section of Miro Street to angled parking
- Adding new angled parking spaces on Matai Street, between Miro Street and Maunganui Road, while keeping two-way traffic flow
Depending on feedback and the final design, we estimate 22 new parking spaces could be added to Miro Street and Matai Street with these changes.
We’re also interested to hear if there’s support for improvements to the wider area to help ease parking pressure on nearby streets, especially during large events. This could include:
- Changing Tawa Street, between Matai Street and Puriri Street, to one-way
- Changing an additional section of Miro Street, between Matai Street and Puriri Street, to one-way
- Adding new angled and parallel parking spaces along these sections of road.
These wider changes could add an additional 33 parking spaces — bringing the total to up to 55 new parking spaces in the area. This would not only provide more parking for local residents but also benefit the wider community, particularly during major events at Blake Park. It would also help accommodate the needs of new housing developments in the area.
Why are we proposing these changes?
We’re proposing to make these changes to improve safety, make it easier to move around, protect our public spaces, and provide better parking options for residents and visitors.
The potential wider changes we’re seeking feedback on could also make more parking available for the wider community, including during big events at Blake Park, and will help accommodate the needs of new housing developments in the area.
It’s all part of our plan to make sure our neighbourhoods are well-connected, accessible, and ready for the future.
