Kia ora Waka Kotahi,

 

Congratulations on building a new public multi-user route between Te
Whanganui-a-Tara and Te Awa Kairangi.

 

Can you please provide:

design information around Te Ara Tupua's pedestrian ramp Te Wharepôuri,
including

- longitudinal profile drawings;

- gradient calculations of its rise, as well as its landings; internal
discussions around NZS 4121; how did Waka Kotahi formally, or otherwise,
engage in partnership with the disability community, what guidance was
received?; how much was budgeted for independent accessibility reviews,
and who was contracted to undertake these?; did you create any user
profiles in the design process; does Waka Kotahi's have Access Standards
or strategies; what is your commitment to Universal Design?; what is your
definition of a pedestrian?

 

Ngâ mihi nui,

 

Nic Lane
