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  As a result, the proposal was withdrawn and a new proposal developed with the support of a working group including representatives from our Residents' Association, the Business Association and Orakei Local Board.

A new plan was consulted on and has recently been built. While not perfect, the new layout eliminates many of the negative features of the original proposal, and adds a full 2-way cycle path. Detailed plans can be seen here.

​At the time of writing, while construction has finished, there are several issues that we are not happy with, and we are compiling a list of issues for AT to work through.



Traffic engineer appointed

Auckland Transport has now appointed a Traffic Engineer, Dr Glen Koorey of ViaStrada, to review the traffic risk profile for Mission Bay.  His job is to identify any points of excessive risk which might be considered for an engineering solution.  Hisa job is NOT to determine the engineering solutions required, merely to identify whether there are any risks which should be assessed to see whether an engineering solution might be appropriate.

​His report will be provided to the Working Group to discuss and determine whether any engineering solutions are required, and if so, what solutions might work best. The Mission Bay Kohimarama Residents Association is represented on this Working group, along with the Mission Bay Business Association, the Orakei Local Board, and the Orakei Ward Councillor.  We are confident that the Working group can come up with practical and common-sense solutions that improve the situation for all road users, balancing the needs of pedestrians, cyclists and motorists.
