Do you support a 30kmh speed limit through Karori and Marsden Village?
Members of Wellington City Council's safer speeds subcommittee yesterday unanimously voted in favour of the proposal to lower the speed limit from 50kmh in the Marsden Village and Karori shopping areas.
Figures from the council's consultation show of 254 people who made submissions on the matter, 71 per cent supported the lower limit.
Councillor Simon Woolf said the nest step would be for the proposal to go to the strategy & policy committee.
A 30kmh speed limit in the Marsden Village and Karori shopping areas would bring them in-line with other town (suburb) centres, Woolf said.
The proposal is part of an on-going council programme to lower speed limits in suburban areas. It has been running since 2009.
Between 2014 and 2018 there were 11 instances of drivers hiitting pedestrians and cyclists resulting in injury.
The majority of submitters who opposed the lower limit were concerned it would contribute to congestion.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
