We have a pedestrian island that need removing or to extend, the yellow lines north, outside 64 Waitikiri Drive, road narrows, great number of cars are parked all the time, causes a danger to walkers, cyclist and motorists from all directions.

There is a traffic island near the last corner heading towards Bottle Lake entrance that is an accident in the making. Vehicles on both sides mean it is impossible for two cars to pass and we have constant problems with drivers speeding to get through first and the other day I was almost knocked off my bike as a large car and horse float went past. I would guarantee hardly any pedestrians use this and I understand you put this in to slow traffic without asking residents and with the houses on bothy sides you have simply created a hazard and I feel this should be removed altogether or yellow lines extended beyond the house this structure is opposite. We are all awaiting the day the Council do what they passed many many years ago for all traffic to park and golf course to go through Landfill Rd and only residents can come down Waitikiri Drive.

I fully support the removal of the traffic island outside No 57 Waitikiri Drive. It is an absolute hazard, not an advantage. Stemming traffic flow and creating a real problem.
