Lower speed limits on all residential streets off the main arterials
Kaipatiki area as a whole is not a drive-through Auckland suburb. Many of our residential streets are either quiet local roads or cul-de-sacs. Unfortunately, all of them have been built to be very wide, which as we all know creates a false sense of safety for drivers. Many drivers on my street prefer to drive at the current speed limit, 50km/h. Technically they are not speeding, but their driving style puts people and pets in danger. Our car-dependent and car-dominant society usually defends drivers and blames the victims of road crashes, but it's in our power to change that attitude. Dropping speed limits to 30km/h will not have any impact on travel times, as it usually takes less than a minute to get to the main road. I'll welcome any measures aimed at traffic calming and speed reduction - speed bumps, chicanes and, of course, lower speed limits.

Reduce the amount of on-street parking
Ample free parking encourages people to drive more. Many people park on the street despite having garages and driveways. Some prefer to repurpose their garages. All of that is possible due to free parking being available to them at everyone's expense. Most of the space available for parking is currently not used, and is effectively wasted. People say that there's not enough space for wider footpaths or cycle lanes, and at the same time so much space is wasted on parking and flush medians. The road space need to be working for everyone, not just those who prefer to drive.

Birkenhead Library playground alterations
I feel this needs revisiting as it obviously is used in a different way than the designer intended with the huge concrete walkway that sits in the middle of the playground to a basically unused entrance. I feel the equipment could do with some tweaks also. I'd remove this concrete pathway, change the constantly breaking ladybird to something more robust, change the baby swing to ones like the toddler ones outside the Northcote Central library (or add that as a piece of equipment so you have two swings for small kids as I think this is all this little space really could handle), and theme it in a literary way using something like a NZ author inspired or dedicated artwork/equipment? Someone like Peter Gossage?

Splash Pad
In the heat of summer, it comes up time and time again that we need a splash pad on the North Shore. Play grounds are a great way to get kids out and active but in Summer the added bonus of water would entice more kids to get out and connect with other families in the community.
