Subject: Official Information request - Vehicle infringement notices relating to Hutt Road cycleway

Dear Wellington City Council,

Please provide the following information relating to the Hutt Road walkway/cycleway between the Caltex service station north of Kaiwharawhara and Thorndon Quay. This walkway/cycleway is marked with signs stating it is for cycle and pedestrian use only.

1. Are you responsible for issuing of vehicle infringement notices relating to the cycleway/walkway? By infringement, I mean vehicles such as cars, motorbikes, trucks, goods vans, and buses parking on the cycleway or driving along it.

2. If you are responsible, provide data around notices issued since the cycleway/walkway opened in November 2019. Ideally, the data would be broken down by month since November 2019, giving number of notices issued per month, type of infringement (e.g., parking, driving) and type of vehicle.

3. Provide information about how often council officers check for vehicle infringements on this route at present.

If you have any other relevant comment around the monitoring of vehicle infringements along this cycling/walking corridor, I would be interested to hear it.

Yours faithfully,

Michael Brown

Thank you for your request made under the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987 (the Act), received on 5 May 2021. You requested the following information:

1. Are you responsible for issuing of vehicle infringement notices relating to the cycleway/walkway? By infringement, I mean vehicles such as cars, motorbikes, trucks, goods vans, and buses parking on the cycleway or driving along it.

Wellington City Council has granted your request for information at no cost.

However, I am still just finalising the data for release which will take me a bit longer. I hope to provide you with a response by 11th June if not sooner.

Right of review:
If you are not satisfied with the Council’s response, you may request the Office of the Ombudsman to investigate the Council’s decision. Further information is available on the Ombudsman website, www.ombudsman.parliament.nz.
