Recent projects involving the practice include:

Hutt City Council traffic model. We have maintained and operated the Hutt City Council traffic model since 1996, updating the network description, reviewing parameters and compiling fresh land use tables after each successive census. The most recent review was completed in March 2009 and is documented in a report which can be downloaded from this website.

The report for the previous 2003 review may also be downloaded for viewing.

Lake Karuwha residential subdivision, Otaki. We assisted in preparing documents for planning approvals, and provided safety audit services.

Driveway on State Highway 2, Kaitoke. We investigated traffic issues and applied for a new access licence from Transit New Zealand (now New Zealand Transport Agency).  The project involved relocating and upgrading access to a rural lifestyle property.

Mitre 10 Mega, Upper Hutt. A new large-format retail centre has been developed in Park Street, Upper Hutt, with Mega, Briscoes and Big Save Furniture stores.

Barclay Traffic Planning carried out traffic surveys, analysed traffic effects and prepared a traffic impact assessment for the resource consent application. The project team included Urban Perspectives (planning) and CGM Architects (architecture).

Appleby Village. Appleby Village Development Limited will shortly start construction on a major art and crafts centre, based on the existing Grape Escape tourist village near Richmond, Nelson. The site is on State Highway 60 at an intersection with a serious accident problem, and Appleby and Transit New Zealand are cooperating to upgrade the intersection.

Barclay Traffic Planning provided technical support during discussions with Transit New Zealand, and prepared a traffic impact assessment for the resource consent application.

Berhampore suburban centre. During the project planning phase, we carried out traffic surveys and traffic analysis, and provided specialist advice. As well as improving appearance of the centre, the project provided an opportunity to address long-standing traffic safety issues involving the traffic signals, property access, and pedestrians.

Work has now been completed.

 

Kilbirnie cycle path. We carried out investigations into cycle route options at four sites in Wellington City. Recommendations included a scheme for developing a route in Kilbirnie, connecting the present path on Evans Bay Road to Wellington Airport, using Kemp Street, Te Whiti Street and Coutts Street. Construction is now complete, and the photograph shows the path crossing the Rongotai Road central median.

Hutt City Council planning assessments. Provides specialist traffic and parking advice to Council in the assessment of resource consent applications (ongoing).

The permission of clients to refer to these projects is gratefully acknowledged.
