Auckland Transport Update to Rodney Local Board, March
2014
File No.:
CP2014/03131
Purpose
1. To respond to
local board requests on transport-related matters and to provide information to
elected members about Auckland Transport activities.
2. The report provides an update on
transport matters for the information of the Rodney Local Board and a register
of transport issues in the local board’s area, as collated by Auckland
Transport’s Elected Member Relationship Manager North.
|
Recommendation/s
That the Rodney Local Board:
a) receive the Auckland
Transport Update to the Rodney Local Board for March 2014.
|
Discussion
Results of
Seal Extension Prioritisation Process
3. Approximately 10% of Auckland’s
road network, a total of 863kms, is unsealed; 674.8kms of these unsealed roads
lie within the Rodney Local Board area. The diagram below illustrates a
breakdown of unsealed roads across the region:
Rodney 78%
Great
Barrier 7%
Waitakere 6%
Franklin 5%
Waiheke
3%
Other
1%
4. The cost to seal all the
unsealed roads in Auckland is estimated at $350M. Auckland Council has approved
$14M for seal extensions across the region over the next 10 years.
5. Auckland Transport’s Seal
Extension Guidelines are used to score and prioritise unsealed roads using
criteria relating to the number of cars and heavy vehicles using the road; the
number of properties and amenities close to or on the road; the steepness of
and number of accidents that have occurred, and regional and local priority
(through routes, access, environmental, growth, tourism etc.).
6. The outcome of this
prioritisation process is a ranking of all unsealed roads compared to the
available budget in Auckland Council’s Long Term Plan. The highest priority
unsealed roads have now been identified and from that list a 10 year seal
extension programme developed.
7. The following roads from the
Rodney Local Board area are included in the 10 year seal extension programme:
· Matakana
Valley Road;
· Takatu
Road;
· Monowai
Road;
· Silver
Hill Road (2 sections); and
· Wellsford
Valley Road.
8. It is anticipated that work on
Matakana Valley Road will begin during the next few months.
9. A full copy of the Seal
Extension Guidelines and further information about the results of the
prioritisation process can be viewed on Auckland Transport’s website:
www.at.govt.nz.
Update on
Local Board Capital Transport Fund (LBTCF)
10. Construction of a mountable kerb
outside 336 Mahurangi East Road, Snells Beach (Project 118), has been
completed.
11. Construction of a footpath
extension on Fordyce Road, Parakai (Project 174) has been programmed and will
be carried out by Auckland Transport’s maintenance contractor for the Rodney
area.
12. Contracts are now being let for
the following projects:
· Local access road improvements, 338 –
382 Main Road, Huapai (Project 175);
· New footpath Coatesville Riverhead
Highway, eastern side, Elliot Street to bridge (Project 177);
· New footpath Mahoenui Valley Road
opposite the school to intersection of Coatesville-Riverhead Highway (Project
180);
· New footpath Rodney Street, Wellsford
(Project 190).
13. Various options for the following
projects are being considered and will be discussed further with the Board’s
Transport Portfolio Leads:
· Kerb, channel and footpath opposite 95
Mahurangi East Road (Project 116);
· Puhoi Pedestrian Bridge (Project 113);
· New footpath on Waitoki Rd, Waitoki
(Project 161);
· Puhoi Road footpath (Project 162);
· Oaia Rd Muriwai – footpath extension
(Project 163);
· Extending the loose chip footpath on the
northern side of Coatesville Riverhead Highway from Glenmore Road to 250
Coatesville-Riverhead Highway (Project 179);
· Point Wells Road footpath (Project 205).
April Local
Board workshops – pre-engagement on Transport LTP
14. Auckland Transport is scheduling
three workshops for local board members, probably in the second and third weeks
of April 2014.
15. The workshops aim to gain early
feedback to inform advice and options for Transport as input to Auckland
Council’s 2015-25 Long Term Plan (LTP) and by extension, the Regional Land
Transport Plan (RLTP).
16. Auckland
Transport hopes that the workshops will also be useful to Local Boards in
developing the Transport Advocacy component of their Local Board Plans. At this
early stage, the priority is to understand community preferences and to look
for opportunities to improve the alignment of Auckland
Transport and Local Board priorities.
17. The importance of participating
in the workshops is that local boards will be able to help shape the options
that eventually make it into the draft RLTP, before the draft is written.
18. The workshops will be designed to
be interactive, with a focus on listening. Auckland Transport is particularly
interested in elected members’ views on the strategic direction for Transport,
the prioritisation process Auckland Transport uses to select projects, and the
overall levels of expenditure on Local Roads, Public Transport and Walking and
Cycling.
19. Formal consultation on the
Transport component of Auckland Council’s Long Term Plan, and on Auckland
Transport’s Regional Land Transport Programme, will take place in January and
February 2015.
AT HOP Card
Roll Out
20. Sales of AT HOP, the smart-card
which can be used for travel on trains, ferries and most buses across the
region, have passed the 200,000 mark. This milestone was reached with 95 per
cent of the roll-out, due at the end of March, completed.
21. On an average weekday
approximately 236,000 trips are taken on public transport in the region, with
more than 3 million trips each month made using the AT HOP card. Buses alone
travel more than 164,000 kms - the equivalent of flying from Auckland to London
nine times
22. The roll-out continued with Bayes on 26 January
2014 and Ritchies and Northern Express buses
on 2 February, then Howick and Eastern Bus services on 16 February. The service
will be introduced on Waiheke Island buses on 4 March.
23. Under the second phase of the
integrated ticketing programme, a new Fares Policy will be developed, involving
a review of fare structures (e.g. stage-based, zonal, and distance-based),
investigation of different fare products and passes, and pricing levels.
24. The full terms of use of the AT
HOP card, the registered prospectus and other relevant information can be read
on Auckland Transport’s website or at the Transport Information Centre,
Britomart.
Planting on
Grass Berms
25. Auckland Transport is reviewing
its policy and guidelines for planting of vegetation on grass berms.
26. The current policy is that
planting is not permitted as it may create safety hazards (impairing sight
lines, covering signage etc.), cause damage to underground services such as
sewerage, water and power, and increase on-going road corridor maintenance
costs if planting is abandoned by the homeowner.
27. Auckland Transport will be taking
a customer-focussed and pragmatic approach to its review, in consultation with
Auckland Council; however, safety for road users, pedestrians and cyclists will
be paramount, as will be managing the cost of on-going road corridor
maintenance.
Issues Update
28. The following Issues Update
comprises issues raised by Elected Members and Local Board Services staff to 21
February 2014:

Charles Street, Scotts Landing, Mahurangi East
|
Request for update on Charles Street, Scotts Landing,
Mahurangi East.
|
Updates on access issues
regarding Charles Street, Mahurangi East, have been provided previously to
Members. The issue is under discussion between Auckland Council’s Parks Department,
Auckland Transport and the resident and Elected Members will be advised of
the way forward when the issue had been resolved. With Road Corridor
Operations staff.

Gervin Road, Wainui
|
Request for maintenance/sealing of Gervin Road, Wainui.
|
Cr Webster's PA requested
investigation into the level of maintenance and possible seal extension of
Gervin Road, Wainui, on 18 December 2013. An interim response was provided on
19 December outlining the road seal extension guidelines and prioritisation
process. On 14 February 2014 Cr Webster's PA was advised that Road Corridor
Maintenance staff had inspected the road surface, advising that this was
currently acceptable and within contract specifications. However, additional
truck movements associated with a clean fill site on Gervin Road address may
cause deteriorations so the contractor has been requested to grade the road
in the near future. In response to the query regarding the sealing of
Cemetery Road and Argent Lane, 340m of seal extension was completed at least
10 years ago on Cemetery Road when the cemetery was being extended; the
cemetery fronts the sealed section of road. Argent Lane was formed and sealed
at least 25 years ago as part of a subdivision development and at the cost of
the developer. The road has recently been reconstructed as part of
maintaining the sealed network.

|
Taiapa Road, Muriwai
|
Request for sealing of Taiapa Road, Muriwai
|
On 19 December 2013 a resident
of Taiapa Road, Muriwai, advised Cr Webster that a stretch of road 800 metres
long connecting the corner of Coast and Motutara Roads and the Golf Club in
Coast Road had been sealed over the last month. He noted that there are two
rate paying houses and one golf course on this stretch, whilst on the 2km
unsealed part of Taiapa Road, where dust is a serious concern, there are 22
rate paying houses. The resident requested an explanation as to why the
access road to the Golf Course was prioritised over sealing the small stretch
of Taiapa road with its much greater number of ratepayers. With Assets
Management and Programming for response.

Red Hills Road, Taupaki
|
Request for update on bus shelter renewal on Red Hills
Road, Taupaki.
|
In July 2013 Members were
advised that shelters on Red Hills Road, near Sunnyvale Road, at 102 Rodney Street,
Wellsford, 51 Commercial Road, Helensville, and on SH16 (near Bawden Road)
were on the renewals list for 2013/2014. Member Flaunty requested an update
on the process on 15 January 2014. On 5 February the Board's TPLs were
advised that shelters have been replaced in Rodney Street, Wellsford,
Commercial Road, Helensville, and SH16, Kumeu. Three shelters have also been
replaced on Dairy Flat Highway, Dairy Flat. The shelter on Red Hills Road
(near Sunnyvale Road), Taupaki, is still on the list for replacement during
2013/2014.

Proposed speed reduction on Kaipara Flats Road, Kaipara
Flats.
|
Documentation explaining the
proposed reduction of the existing 70 km/h speed limit to 50 km/h on Kaipara
Flats Road, Kaipara, was forwarded to TPLs on 17 January 2014 with a request
for responses no later than 14 February. Member Garner advised on 5 February
that he had received no comments from any of the other board members and that
he personally considered that the proposal is appropriate.

|
Whitmore and Howelen Roads, Buckleton Beach
|
Complaints regarding a new subdivision on Howelen Road and
the damage caused to Whitmore Road, Buckleton Beach as a result.
|
Cr Webster received a complaint
from a Whitmore Road resident concerned about damage to Whitmore Road,
Buckletons Beach, as a result of increased truck movements servicing a new
subdivision on Howelen Road. In relation to queries related to the
subdivision itself, Cr Webster’s PA was advised to refer these to Auckland
Council's consents department staff. On 19 February Cr Webster's PA was
advised that, in relation to maintenance issues on Whitmore Road, a recent
inspection had established that the road surface is currently in reasonable
condition, with no pot holes or corrugations, but that rutting is beginning
to show, as would be expected with the recent dry period. Because of the
additional pressure from the construction works for the development, the
engineers will monitor the condition of the road to ensure problems that develop
can be addressed quickly.

|
School/Ocean View Roads and School/Mangawhai Roads,
Tomarata
|
Request for 'School' sign at the intersections of
School/Ocean View Roads and School/Mangawhai Roads, Tomarata.
|
Cr Penny Webster asked on 21
January 2014 that a previous negative response for two additional ‘School’
signs, one at the intersection of School/Ocean View Roads, Tomarata, and the
other at the intersection of School/Mangawhai Roads, Tomarata, to indicate
the direction to Tomarata Primary School (located on the corner of Tomarata
Valley and Pakiri Block Roads), be reconsidered. Referred to Road Corridor
Operations.
|
|

|
Kaipara Hills Road, Glorit
|
Request for improvements to Kaipara Hills Road, Glorit
|
Rodney Local Board staff asked
on 30 January 2014 that claims made by a resident that Kaipara Hills Road is
unsafe and therefore needs to be stabilised, with appropriate runoff controls
established, be investigated. The resident notes that the road becomes unsafe
for cars during periods of rain due to poor sediment control above and below
the road and the lack of appropriate grade gravel on the road surface. Referred
to Road Corridor Maintenance staff.
|
|
9
|
84 Old Railway Road, Kumeu
|
Request that for immediate reinstatement of the area
outside 84 Old Railway Road, Kumeu.
|
Member Warren Flaunty advised
on 30 January 2014 that reinstatement work has not been carried out after
work undertaken by Watercare Services some time ago at the entrance to
Markovina Estate, 84 Old Railway Road, Kumeu, asking that this be addressed
under urgency. On 3 February Member Flaunty was advised that this berm area
had been reinstated by Watercare Service following installation of a
pipeline; however, the area is used by truck drivers who pull over when using
cell phones and by the owner of number 84 for her buses during functions at
the centre. The owner has therefore agreed to use her own contractor to
maintain and repair the berm area.

|
Rodney Local Board area general
|
Request for street cleaning schedules, Rodney Local Board
area.
|
On 23 January Member Sayers
requested a copy of the street cleaning schedule for the Rodney Local Board
area. On 14 February TPLs and Member Sayers were advised that only a few town
centres are listed or mapped in the current contracts, which were inherited
from the former Rodney District Council. However, in terms of the general
service information requested, commercial areas are inspected daily for
sweeping (boundary to boundary in the road reserve). Beyond that Auckland
Transport has little concrete information regarding specific areas swept and
the timing of this. It is noted that, with respect to litter, litter removal
by foot orderlies is managed by Auckland Council under the new solid waste
contracts, while Auckland Transport’s road corridor maintenance contractors
collect litter prior to other duties such as sweeping and mowing. The
relevant page of the current contract for the Rodney area, that is, the ‘Key
Results Schedule’ (specification) from the Rodney contract, was provided. The
new contracts which start in July 2014 will be much more detailed, with
comprehensive maps and a larger cleaning specification. This information can
be provided once the contract term has commenced. With respect to auditing
street cleaning work, in addition to their own inspections generally carried
out whilst they are in transit, engineers receive a weekly report from the
contractor with respect to sites visited. Because of its size, the Rodney
maintenance engineers advise that they often rely on comments from business owners
and members of the public who will quickly identify problems as they arise.
Auckland Transport maintenance engineers haven’t worked to a formal
schedule/record for auditing town centres in the Rodney area in the past, but
this is being investigated for the future. Information on Auckland
Transport's draft Code of Practice, Section 25.19 of which relates to street
cleaning, including cleaning standards and performance was also provided and
Members were reminded that consultation on the document closes on 31 March.

Safety concerns on Makarau Road, Kaukapakapa.
|
Cr Webster's PA requested on 11
February 2014 that investigation into a resident's concerns regarding safety
on Makarau Road, Kaukapakapa, raised in December 2013, be expedited. Under
assessment by Road Corridor Operations staff.

|
NZTA's Funding Assistance Rate (FAR) Report
|
Query from Cr Webster on NZTA's Funding Assistance Rate
(FAR) Report.
|
At the Board's business meeting
on 10 February 2014 Cr Webster made reference to the FAR report and its
impact on subsidies for road seal extension. On 12 February Cr Webster and
Members were advised that the Funding Assistance Rate (FAR) report is an NZTA
review on how the FAR should be set - at a high level. It discusses, for example,
whether there should be different funding assistance rates for different
activities (maintenance / road improvement / public transport); whether there
should be one funding assistance rate for all activities; whether an
organisation’s funding assistance rate should be based on rateable value or
other measures; etc. The Land Transport Management Act empowers NZTA to make
such decisions on the use of national land transport funding, allowing it to
decide which activities it wishes to fund. At present NZTA does not consider
sealing roads in the Auckland region as a priority for its limited funding.
Members were advised that Auckland Council staff were taking a paper to the
February Finance and Performance Committee on the FAR report, and the Board
of Auckland Transport will also consider a paper at either its February or
March meeting.

Muriwai Road, Waimauku
|
Request for traffic counts for Muriwai Road, Waimauku
|
Rodney Local Board Member
Phelan Pirie requested traffic counts for Muriwai Road, Waimauku, over the
last five years, to assist the Board in preparation of its submission to NZTA
for the Waimauku intersection upgrade to be brought forward in the programme.
Those counts available to Auckland Transport were forwarded on 19 February
2014.

|
Baxter Street, Warkworth
|
Request for repairs and maintenance to the clock located
on Baxter Street, Warkworth
|
A mosaic artist has been
engaged to enhance the clock tower located on Baxter Street, Warkworth, and
advised the local board that the clock mechanism needs to be checked and the
clock face, which is showing rust, cleaned/maintained. On 19 February 2014
the Board's TPLs were advised that Auckland Transport maintains and adjusts
the mechanisms on all public clocks in the region. The Warkworth clock is maintained
by Auckland Transport's street light contractors, who use their bucket trucks
(EWPs) also used to service the streets lights, for access. Whilst the next
regular maintenance isn't scheduled until the end of daylight saving on 6
April, the engineer will have the contractors clean and service the clock
sooner, so that it is in keeping with the new mosaics.

Mowing of berm at 2 Omana
Avenue, Shelly Beach.
|
Member Steele received a
complaint from a customer on 14 February 2014 who was assured in November
that the berm at 2 Omana Avenue, Shelly Beach, would be mown in the near
future. This work had not been actioned, despite a follow up phone call to
Auckland Transport’s Customer Response staff early in February. Referred to
Road Corridor Maintenance Staff.

Road Corridor
Maintenance
West
65. The
new road maintenance contract is “bedding in” and providing good operational
and customer services within the Henderson – Massey, Waitakere and Whau local
board areas. The inclusion of additional berm and vegetation management items
since the issuing of the last report was supplied and exceptional growth conditions
regionally, had bogged down the reactive capability of the contractor in the
last 2 months of 2013. A change in methodology has been developed between
Contractor and RCM management which will make treatment and information supply
easier going forward. Unfortunately some additional cost implications as a
result of these changes will affect overall budget allocations. Cost and
activity reductions will have to be implemented in other areas for the
remaining 2013 – 14 programs. Additional funding will be sourced during budget
calculations for the next financial year.
66. Progress
in the large pavement reconstruction works and footpath renewal are on target
throughout the western area. Pavement rehabilitation works have been or are
nearing completion in Margan Ave, Kinross St, Henderson Vly Rd and View
Rd. Projects that are continuing into 2014 and a list of forward works for your
reference, that will soon be underway in the western network are - Birdwood Rd,
Nikau St, Kervil Ave, Rimu St, Blockhouse Bay Rd and Titirangi Rd .
67. Programming,
investigation and design works are well underway for the sites allocated for
2014 – 15 program with future works in the design area targeting network sites
beyond 2016 where possible.
68. The
extensive resurfacing program is also underway throughout the central – west
region. To date 5.5km of asphalt surfacing has been completed to Dec. The
schedule of activities includes approx. 12.5km of Asphaltic Concrete surfacing
and 35km of various Chip Sealing (resealing) sites. This program continues on
from the previous 3 years, due to recent bitumen price increases and site
pre-sealing repairs costing more than expected, the total quantities have had
to be reduced to match the budget allowance.
69. The
slip repairs have been undertaken in the 5 sites Titirangi Road and Titirangi
Beach Roads noted in the last report. Major retaining structures and road
strengthening have been completed in Candia Road and Laingholm Drive. Final
detailed design and both building & resource consents are in hand for a
major slip repair site on Titirangi Road.
70. Investigation
of any opportunities to “future proof” the western network against storm and
flooding impacts continues to be high priority, but funding through NZTA is
unfortunately difficult to obtain for these works.
Streetlights
71. Completed
the section of Tamaki Drive (Okahu section) with new poles and luminaires in
accordance with the Tamaki Drive approved upgrade report. There are only 25
poles and lights to complete the upgrade between Ngapipi Road and The Strand.
72. St
George Street Papatoetoe is currently being upgraded with new poles and lights.
The former decorative type lights will become gas look alike lights for
decorative purpose only.
73. Bowen
Street in the CBD has been upgraded to provide increased safety for pedestrians
walking into the city especially from the university at night.
74. Installation
of new lights and poles supporting the Vector undergrounding programme removing
overhead lines. Areas where undergrounding has taken place are Epsom, and
Penrose.
South
75. The
2013/14 resurfacing programme ($15.3M) commenced during the period. All
Chipseal sites are expected to be completed by early April and the Asphaltic
Concrete sites by end of May 2014.
76. The
2013/14 Pavement Rehabilitation and Reconstruction programmes are well
underway. A large number of the sites were either completed or commenced during
the period. Some of the completed sites include, Princess St Otahuhu, Te
Irirangi Drive - Smales to Accent, Great South Road – Grande View to Corin and
Ronwood to Gladding, Mahia Road – Coxhead to Hobart, Hill Road – Hill to Grande
Vue, Hunua Gorge, and Pukeoware Road rehabilitation.
77. The
preseal repair, footpath and kerb/channel programmes of work are underway. The
Contractors main focus during the period was to complete the works associated
with the 2013/14 resurfacing and pavement rehabilitation sites.
Central

78. Following months of planning between Auckland Council
Stormwater, Watercare and RCM, a major upgrade of Carlton Gore Rd, between
Davis Crs and George St, has commenced. The objective of this 6 month project
is to upgrade the public stormwater system, separate the existing combined
sewer system to prevent on-going sewer overflow discharges to the New Market
Stream and to reconstruct the deteriorated road pavement. The 3 members of
the Auckland Council Family have engaged Downer to undertake all components
of the work to ensure disruption to the local businesses and residents is
minimised and to achieve value for money for ratepayers.
|
|
79. The pavement rehabilitation of Woodward Rd, between New
North Rd and Carrington Rd, has been completed. This work was completed in
collaboration with Kiwi Rail during a weekend shut down for the
electrification of the Western rail line to minimise disruption to public
transport users.

80. After
a major internall and external stakeholder management consultation period
between RCM, RCA, PT and Downer, approx. 11000 m2 of Jervois Road,
between Ponsonby Road and Clarence Street was resurfaced over Labour Weekend.
81. Spring
growth combined with the October Local body elections has made berm mowing an
area of focus for the Central team. Following high levels of resistance to
the change in policy initially, there is now some indications that the levels
of resitance, is changing.
82. Following
consultations with local Iwi and the New Zealand Historical places trust, The
Orakei Road (Shore to Ngapipi roads) road Rehabilation Project is now
underway.Completion is programmed for early March 2014.
83. Negotiations
between ATs maintenance contractors and the UFB Project contractors have now
concluded. These nogations which were driven by the Central AT Team have
openend the way for ATs footpath contractors to upgrade footpaths and install
UFB simultaneously.

North
The focus during the December period was on giving the town centres a
‘spring clean’ before the Christmas period. The work has progressed well with
all townships 100% complete. With many visitors expected to holiday at the
spectacular beach locations in Rodney the coastal unsealed roads (e.g. Pakiri
Road and Takatu Road) were given a maintenance run to ensure they are in top
condition.
In the North Rural the AWPT programme is progressing well with 1.5 kms
completed in December. To date the AWPT programme is 62% complete (by
length). Cost savings have also been delivered to Auckland Transport with the
current spend approximately 10% below the target
value. The reseals programme has been slightly delayed with rain in December
and is 56% complete, year to date. The programme has been updated with the
reseals now scheduled to be 100% complete by March.
The Opex and Renewals rolling quarter and year to date budgets are on
track. The overall year to date variance against forecast is less than 1%.

87. One
Network
The next step in the integrated road classification system project -
‘collate all feedback and update the ONRC Framework;’ is ongoing this quarter.
AT is currently progressing various Engineering Plan Approvals (EPA)
for different packages of work for Waterview and other NZTA SH16 corridor
improvements.
AT has also been working with NZTA on SH16 Initiatives to reduce the
impact of the on-going works to travel times, particularly for buses. A
package of quick win measures has been implemented to provide improved journey
times for buses to mitigate the loss of key bus priority infrastructure.
Measures include the reinstatement of, or new shoulder bus lanes, priority
lanes on the motorway ramps and local road network. NZTA has ensured
coordination between the various projects along SH16, with particular regard to
traffic management measures and timing of works to minimise the impact on
travel times along the SH16 corridor. Measures for the medium to longer
term have been identified and these are currently at various stages of
assessment.
