INFORMATION REPORT
Chip Seal
1. Auckland Transport is about to embark on
its annual road resealing programme. Wherever possible chipseal will be used
as it provides a cost effective and good durable road surface, which is well
suited to Auckland’s flexible road pavements.
2. Resealing the road surface waterproofs the surface and improves
the road skid resistance to ensure that the roads stay in good condition.
Regular maintenance of the roads means that they do not need to be totally
reconstructed. Generally the road surface will last between 10 to 15 years.
3. In general a typical reseal would follow
this timeline:
4. Some weeks prior to reseal;
·
Fix any road failures in the street – Localised road pavement
repairs
5. A few days prior to reseal;
·
Letter drop informing residents of the road reseal
6. Day of reseal;
·
Set up traffic management
·
Sweep road for debris
·
Chip seal applied
·
Roll chip into road surface
7. Within a few days of reseal;
·
Sweep excess chip off the road
·
Reinstatement of road marking
8. A week or so after reseal;
·
Road surface checked
·
Further sweeping to pick up any excess loose chip
·
Remove traffic management
9. 3 – 4 weeks after reseal
·
Additional sweeping if required, to remove any remaining loose
chip.
10. The Contractor responds to any Call Centre
service requests relating to the chip sealing during the course of the work.
Discussion
LOCAL BOARD
TRANSPORT FUND APPLICATIONS
Henderson/Massey
Bus Shelters Patterned Anti-Graffiti Film Applications
The Henderson/Massey
Local Board identified a list of bus stops for Auckland Transport to consider
installing anti-graffiti with a selected pattern. Auckland Transport has
investigated that list and has identified 36 bus shelters in their ward that
the Henderson/Massey Local Board can approve funding from there Local Board
Transport Fund. Auckland Transport estimate a rough order of costs to
complete the 36 shelters at $72,000 plus $15,000 for the artwork development
totalling $87,000. If the Local Board would like to identify extra shelters to
be completed the estimate would be about $2,000 per shelter. The artwork will
be designed in consultation with the Board if they wish to proceed. Attached
are some examples of existing artwork for the Local Board to consider.
RESPONSES
AND PROGRESS REPORTS
PROPOSED
BUS STOPS AND SHELTER – 45 AND 48 HARVEST DRIVE
What are
the proposed changes?
11. Auckland Transport is proposing to install a new bus stop and bus
shelter outside 45 Harvest Drive. It is also proposed
to install a new bus stop outside 48 Harvest Drive. These bus stops will
include bus stop signs, road markings to indicate the location of the bus stops
and new no stopping yellow lines at both ends of the bus stops. The grass berms
adjacent to the new bus stops will be concreted with new hardstands.
Why are we
installing new bus stops?
12. The AT website has indicated there are
existing bus stops outside of 47 and 50 Harvest Drive, Henderson.
However, at present there are no physical road markings or bus stop signage
indicating their presence on-site. Currently, the NZ bus services are
experiencing problems accessing these stops due to the absence of bus stop
markings or signage. It is also unclear to passengers where they should wait to
catch the bus. A review of the bus stop locations determined that in order to
provide adequate facilities including a bus shelter at the inbound stop (to
Henderson) it is necessary to shift the bus stops slightly, to outside 45 and
48 Harvest Drive. The proposed changes will improve; accessibility for buses
and amenity for the passengers who use these stops.
What other
issues have Auckland Transport considered when selecting this location?
13. Auckland Transport
acknowledges that this proposal will result in a loss of eight on-street
parking spaces. This is a common occurrence when a new bus stop is established.
As the Road Controlling Authority, Auckland Transport controls the road reserve
which is the entire corridor between property boundaries (e.g. footpaths,
berms, and road). When determining how to utilise this space, Auckland www.aucklandtransport.govt.nz Transport
gives priority to safety, pedestrian facilities, bus stops, bus lanes, loading
zones, traffic flow and cycle lanes over other uses. On-street parking is only
permitted when there is not an activity of greater priority that requires use
of the space. As such the establishment of the bus stop takes priority over the
use of this space for parking.
14. Further to this, there is widespread on-street
parking available in the surrounding area and this can be utilised by vehicles
affected by the parking removal. Currently, on-street parking limits the
visibility from the driveways either side of the proposed bus stop. Replacing
the on-street parking with a bus stop should, most of the time, improve
visibility from these driveways because, generally, buses will only occupy the
stop for about 10 to 20 seconds at a time. The position of the proposed
shelter outside 45 Harvest Drive has been carefully determined to ensure that
visibility for drivers’ entering and exiting the driveway is not obscured.
When will
the proposed changes be implemented?
15. These changes are planned to be implemented in late 2014.
Local
Board Response
16. The Local Board Transport Portfolio holder is
supportive of the proposal as long as feedback is positive.
DANGEROUS
OBSTRUCTION ON RAILSIDE AVENUE FOOTPATH – SAFETY ISSUE
17. The Local Board has requested Auckland Transport
to look at the location of the black utility box that is obstructing passengers
when boarding their bus.
Response
18. Auckland Transport has forwarded these safety
concerns onto the utility company responsible for this box. Once a solution
has been agreed on between the parties the Local Board will be advised.
TE ATATU CORRIDOR IMPROVEMENT PROJECT – SEPTEMBER 2014
19. Auckland Council Property Limited (ACPL) is undertaking the acquisition
phase of the Te Atatu Corridor Improvement Project.
AT reports that:
·
There are 111 property interests, in total.
·
106 property interests have been acquired by agreement
with the property owner.
·
3 property interests have been acquired by proclamation,
under S26 of the Public Works Act. These parcels are available for use by
AT for its project, however compensation needs to be agreed with the owner.
·
1 property interest has been acquired by proclamation,
under S26 of the Public Works Act, however the process is not complete until 2nd
October, after which it will be available for use by the project, with
compensation still to be agreed with the owner (similar to the other 3 that
have been acquired by proclamation).
·
1 property interest is in the final stages of negotiation,
subject to negotiations between landlord and tenant.
PEDESTRIAN CROSSING REQUEST -TE ATATU ROAD AND GLORIA ROAD SHOPS.
20. The Local Board has requested Auckland Transport
to consider installing a Pedestrian Crossing at Te Atatu and Gloria Road shops
to enable access to Rutherford Primary School.
Update
21. Auckland Transport has visited the site and undertaken an initial review of
the issue raised. Further detailed investigation now needs to be undertaken to
ensure a comprehensive review of this issue. This investigation has been
prioritised and programmed, with an expected completion date of late October
2014, following which AT will be able to provide the outcome and
recommendations based on their assessment.
BARRY ROAD
STREET LIGHTS
22. A request has been received by Auckland Transport
through the Local Board Plan - Special Consultative Procedure Public Meeting
requesting that they look into the street lighting on Barry Road.
Update
23. Auckland Transport is investigating this request and will report the outcome
of this investigation back to the Local Board.
SUMMERLAND AND CHADLINGTON AVEUNE,
HENDERSON HEIGHTS.
24. Auckland Transport has been requested to look at
the parking issues on Summerland and Chadlington Avenue.
Response
25. Auckland Transport Road Corridor
Operations Department has investigated the concerns. Auckland Transports has
visited the site to investigate the feasibility of extending the parking
restrictions to improve visibility. AT has found that there are some existing
‘no stopping at all times’ (NSAAT) parking restrictions, marked by a broken
yellow line, installed on the western side of Summerland Drive, right of
Chadlington Avenue, to keep vehicles from parking too close to the
intersection. There are also continuity lines installed across the intersection
to guide drivers travelling north on Summerland Drive.
26. The area between the continuity lines and the limit line provide a
safe area for vehicles to wait before exiting Chadlington Avenue and even
provides a refuge where drivers can wait past the limit line before turning
right, which provide improved sight lines for vehicles turning out of
Chadlington Ave.
27. Approximately 77 metres of sight line is
available from the continuity lines for vehicles turning out of Chadlington
Avenue over vehicles travelling north on Summerland Drive, if a vehicle parked
just outside the existing NSAAT restrictions as you report. This sight distance
exceeds the minimum recommendations, and there are no reported crashes at the
intersection for last 5 years attributed to restricted visibility.
28. Auckland Transport cannot justify
extending parking restrictions on Summerland Drive at the Chadlington Avenue
intersection.
29. However, should any vehicle be parked on
the NSAAT markings, within one metre of a driveway, or parked for more than
seven days continuously, then AT suggest that enforcement is the most
appropriate means of educating motorists of their legal obligations.
LUCKENS
ROAD SHOPS - PARKING
30. Auckland Transport has been requested to look at the parking issues at the
Luckens Road Shops.
Update
31. Auckland Transport is investigating this request.
WATTLE
ROAD AND VIEW ROAD STREET LIGHTING
32. Auckland Transport has been requested to look at the street lighting on
Wattle and View Roads.
Update
33. Auckland Transport is investigating this request.
