General discussion on
Teaching immigrants traffic awareness should be a multiagency approach, need to state objectives
Cameras at traffic lights to catch red light runners, ACC own the cameras
Building up liaison with police e.g Onehunga . It is harder on a wider city basis than at suburb level
WA asked for his support to reduce speeds on Ponsonby Rd and approaching refuges
Keith will try and find out if it is illegal to walk along Wellesley St overpass from Symond St to Domain
Andy extended our thanks to Sergeant Keith Barker for coming to our meeting and answering our queries
