AT safety proposals

Picture
AT has proposed a number of changes to roads in Mission Bay to try to improve pedestrian safety.  Their initial approach was very clumsy at best, not putting forward any justification and presenting it as almost a done deal.

We pushed back firmly, talking to the Mayor and Desley Simpson, our Councillor, and also to the AT CEO Shane Ellison.  As a result, the proposal has been withdrawn, and a working group established to determine what changes, if any, would be appropriate for Mission Bay.  Our Chair, Don Stock, has been appointed to that working group and will ensure that we arrive at a sensible outcome.



30 km/h speed limit for Mission Bay and St Heliers

23/10/2019

We have just been advised that Auckland Transport's Board has voted to impose a 30km/h speed limit on Tamaki Drive through Mission Bay and St Heliers, as well as the northern ends of Atkin Ave and Patteson Ave.  This is part of a city wide review of safe speeds for both town centres and rural roads.

The process that arrived at this is completely independent of the Safety Improvement project for which we are on the Working Group with AT, although it is far from clear that it should be treated separately.  Regardless of the speed restrictions, we will be working to ensure we do not get stupid outcomes such as 11 new pedestrian crossings imposed on us.

The reduced speed will go into effect either in November 2020 or June 2021, depending on whether we are in the first tranche or not.

Here is a link to AT's announcement and their Q&A.
