Resolution number INF/2014/37 MOVED by Cr CE Brewer, seconded by Deputy Chairperson C Darby: That the Infrastructure Committee: a) agree the following principles to enable the use of the Local Board Transport Capital Fund to be allocated outside the transport corridor where there is clear benefit in terms of supporting alternative means of transport including walking and cycling. Principles i) The use of the fund outside of the transport corridor supports connectivity of cycleway and footpaths within the transport network ii) The local board, Auckland Transport and the controlling agency will agree the deliverables to ensure that infrastructure (e.g. lighting) conforms to the controlling agency’s standards, and clarify the asset ownership and who will budget and manage the on-going maintenance and renewals. This will occur prior to the final approval to proceed with the project iii) For cycling, the proposed routes should be identified on the Auckland Cycle Network or a local board’s Greenways Plan or Local Board Plan. The greenway routes provide for the feeder routes in the cycle network iv) Proposed cycling projects may include facilities such as bike parking and these would conform to Auckland Transport standards for cycling facilities v) For footpaths, the proposal would need to close a gap in the current walking network to residential, recreational, public transport or town or local economic centres
vi) Proposed footpath widths should accommodate both cycling and walking when no alternative cycling route is identified vii) Where the investment is outside the transport corridor, both the controlling agency and Auckland Transport must formally approve the proposal with the local board prior to the project proceeding. b) request that the report and resolutions be forwarded to local boards for their information. |
