Subject: Official Information request - Road resealing

Dear Palmerston North City Council,

We note that a number of roads around the city are currently, or have
recently been, resealed/resurfaced. It is somewhat surprising that some
streets, seemlingly in comparative good order, have been recently
resurfaced.

For a number of years now, we have been sending requests to the PNCC to
have Chaytor Street resealed, including photographs of the poor surface
quality, loose and patchy metal stone chip and sections of the road that
have been damaged by antisocial drivers.
The traffic in the street has increased significantly in the past few
years, compounded by the roadworks completed in Linton and Ferguson
Streets and a number of infill and social housing builds in the area. The
traffic is also chaotic around school drop-off & pickup times with nearby
Intermediate Normal School.

Can you please advise when Chaytor Street is scheduled to be resealed?
Are there any plans to include traffic calming measures such as speed
humps or chicanes?
Many vehicles, including motorcycles, cars, light and heavy trucks, now
use the street as a short-cut to avoid traffic lights.
Are there any plans to properly fix the driveway thresholds that have been
significantly damaged by years of stormwater back-up issues?

Yours faithfully,
R&M Dixon
