Discussion

Regional Land Transport Plan (RLTP)

3. The draft RLTP is being consulted on alongside Auckland Council’s Long Term Plan. Both documents were released to the public on 23 January 2015. The RLTP contains the combined intentions of Auckland Transport, New Zealand Transport Agency, and Kiwi Rail in terms of forward planning and Auckland Transport has worked closely with these agencies in the development of this document.

4. Public consultation started on 23 January 2015 and will run until 16 March 2015. When the public have had their say the RLTP is discussed with New Zealand Transport Agency and a final three year programme agreed by 1 June 2015.

5. Auckland Transport staff will be supporting the planned ‘Have Your Say Events’ that are being used to gather public feedback and discuss the Albert-Eden Local Board’s submission on 25 February 2015.

Dominion Road Update

6. Last month it was reported that in December 2014, the Auckland Transport Board decided to pause the Dominion Road project.

7. With funding being less than planned and potential light rail options to investigate it was prudent to ‘pause’ the project until there was more information about light rail and the RLTP process was finished.

8. Dominion Road remains a priority project for Auckland Transport, particularly as it incorporates improvements required to run an efficient Rapid Transit Network along this key strategic transport corridor.

9. A briefing on the light rail project has been scheduled for the Albert-Eden Local Board on 3 March 2015. This will provide the Board Members detailed technical information about the project.

Corridor Management Plans (CMPs)

10. Auckland Transport’s work developing CMPs continues and on 25 February and March 2015 the team will be discussing the Mt Eden, Manukau and Sandringham Road CMPs.

Manukau Road High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) Lanes

11. Last month it was reported that based on the research conducted including the recent Manukau Road Corridor Management Plan Auckland Transport’s is investigating installing HOV Lanes in Manukau Road.

HOV lane options include:

· Bus lanes (buses only);

· T3 lanes (buses and three occupant vehicles only); and

· T2 lanes (buses and three occupant vehicles only).

12. HOV lanes are installed to make public transport more efficient by making it easier for buses to negotiate the marked section of road. Improving public transport is a key objective of the Auckland Plan.

13. With planning starting recently Auckland Transport would like to speak to the Albert- Eden Local Board right at the beginning of the process so that between us we can develop sensible and well-supported option for this stretch of road.

14. A first workshop has been scheduled for 18 March 2015.

Symonds Street Buslanes

15. Symonds Street is Auckland’s second busiest bus corridor. With approximately 70% of people travelling on the route using public transport instead of private vehicles. On 23 February 2015 a new bus lane came into operation on Symonds Street.

16. The new bus lane will operate between Charlotte Street on New North Road to Alex Evans Street on Symonds Street between 7am and 9am.

17. It is expected that this will take up to 4 minutes off the morning commute for about 6000 passengers.

18. The 2014/15 Financial Year targets approximately 15km of bus or transit lane implementation across the network. Another 25 km is programmed for next two financial years.

Road Resurfacing

19. Auckland Transport regularly maintains and re-surfaces roads. The timing and standards of resurfacing is often a matter of discussion in the community and Auckland Transport has provided information about the process in Attachment A.

20. In summary keeping a ‘grippy’, waterproof layer on top preserves the underlying foundations of the road. The top layer of the road is made of bitumen and gravel and comes it two forms:

· Chip seal – that is cheaper but less hard wearing lasting 8-12 years; and

· Hot mix – an asphaltic concrete mix that is more expensive and hard wearing lasting 10-14 years.

21. Chip seals cost about $4-8 per square metre and hot mix costs about $20-30 per square metre.

22. Overtime all road surfaces deteriorate and need to be replaced. If resurfacing is done at the right time the road stays waterproof, ‘grippy’ and water does not penetrate into the road’s foundations.

23. The choice of surface is determined by road use and the amount of turning (because turns stress the road surface damaging it more). Hot mix is generally only used on high usage roads (ones carrying more than 10,000 vehicles per day) or in high stress areas such as at intersections or cul-de-sac heads.

24. In the 2014/15 Financial Year we will resurface 430 km of roads at a cost of approximately $50 million. 80% of resealing will be chip seal.

Albert-Eden Local Board Transport Capital Fund

25. The Albert - Eden Local Board has $664,933 per annum of discretionary funding for transport-related capital projects. It may allocate funding for the whole electoral term (i.e. $1,994,799) at any stage during its term.

26. The uncommitted $ 119,016 from the previous electoral term may also be rolled over on this occasion, giving the Albert - Eden Local Board a total pool of approximately $2,113,815 available in this electoral term to spend on transport projects.

27. This money can be used for projects identified by the Local Board, the principal constraints being that the project:

· Will not compromise transport safety;

· Is transport-related;

· Does not compromise the efficiency of the road network.

28. So far, in this electoral term, the Albert-Eden Local Board has requested a number of projects that are listed in Attachment B with information about their status and progress.

29. The only change from last month is that the Final Cost of installing cycle racks at Kingsland Station has been re-estimated at $ 20,000 instead of $ 30,000 as reported last month.

30. This month Auckland Transport has included all draft resolutions that were proposed last month but were deferred while a decision was made about whether or not the Albert-Eden Local Board wished use its Local Board Transport Capital Fund to support construction of an over bridge at the Mt Albert Rail Station.

31. This is so that if the situation changes or clarifies, the draft resolutions are still readily available and able to be used if required.

Issues Register

Description

AT Response

Parking in Epsom in vicinity of Queen Mary Avenue

Concerns have been raised about a lack of retail parking for the cinema and shops on Manukau Road, Queen Mary Avenue and in surrounding areas.

A simple solution to the problem is not readily apparent but the Auckland Transport Parking Team is working closely with the Board’s Transport Representative to try and develop a solution.

Mountain Road Traffic Issues

Residents have raised concerns about the amount and behaviour of traffic on Mountain Road during school morning and afternoon peaks.

Of particular concern was the difficulty for traffic to negotiate the intersections of Mountain Road and:

· Glenfell / Almorah Roads; and

· Gilgit Road.

Considerable work is still being done and initial engineering design has started.

Concepts are not yet ready to be circulated publically but will start to be in the first half of 2015.

11. During peak travel times the southern and eastern lines now have six trains an hour with 3 trains per hour inter-peak. The Onehunga line has half-hourly services, all day, seven days a week. On the western line peak services remain at fifteen minute intervals with half-hourly inter-peak, evenings and weekends.

Ferry Improvements

12. An application from Explorer Group to operate ferry services from Downtown to Waiheke has been accepted and a service of twelve sailings a day commenced shortly after Labour Weekend.

13. Fullers have just commissioned a new vessel the Kotuku. She will operate across a number of Fuller’s services, including Waiheke.

Road Design and Development

Dominion Road

14. The cycle routes are progressing well with road works almost completed. New wayfinding signage is in the hands of a specialist supplier and is due for installation.

Albany Highway

15. Construction has commenced and major earth movements are underway opposite the Albany Senior College. New traffic controls are in place at the southern end of the works as preparations are made for building retaining walls and install drainage.

Tamaki Drive/Ngapipi Road Intersection

16. Detailed Design continues with consent applications due for submission early in 2015.

Lincoln Road Improvements

17. The registration of interest (ROI) has been completed and the shortlisted consultants have been invited to participate in the second stage of the tendering process for the detailed design phase. Property acquisition has been commenced.

Redoubt-Mill Road upgrade

18. Auckland Transport has identified the route for the upgrade of Redoubt Road-Mill Road corridor and applied to Auckland Council to designate land (Notices of Requirement) for the project. Letters and information has been sent to landowners to notify them of the route identified and the NoR lodgement. The council is expected to publicly notify the Notices of Requirement (NoR) for the designation in early 2015.

Cycle Initiatives

19. An information day has been held to share design concepts for the second stage of the Beach Road walking and cycling project. Stage two will deliver a streetscape upgrade and continue the cycleway along Beach Road from the intersection with Mahuhu Crescent through to Britomart Place. Construction is expected to begin in February and to be completed in July.

Services

Cycling

20. More than 90 women participated in the inaugural Frocks on Bikes event held at Hurstmere Green in Takapuna. The event labeled a ‘Summer Fling’ is part of Auckland Transport’s ‘Cyclings the go’ programme which is designed to encourage more Aucklanders to take up cycling for recreation, health and as a credible form of transport.

Shop by Rail

21. Auckland Transport launched a pre-Christmas awareness campaign highlighting how easy it is to access major shopping precincts around Auckland by train. The ‘Shopping Adventures by Train’ advertising directed Christmas shoppers to retail centres at Downtown Auckland, New Lynn, Manukau, Sylvia Park, Onehunga, Newmarket and Henderson.

Commute Travel Planning Programme

22. A national “Let’s Carpool’ survey was undertaken with those registered on the ‘Let’s Carpool’ website and 19.5% of the Auckland respondents identified carpooling as their main mode of travelling to work.

23. The completed report ‘Auckland Tertiary Institutions: Developing a Stategic Approach to Travel Planning 2014-2016, will be the basis of consultation on travel planning with tertiary institutions. The Commute team will be working closely with the Public Transport team to develop an on-line campaign to promote public transport and travel choices to tertiary institutions and their students.

Road Corridor Delivery

24. Good progress has been made with the delivery of the pavement rehabilitation and resurfacing programmes with 11.1 km of pavement rehabilitation and 187.1 km of resurfacing completed to date. We are on track to achieve the target lengths with this work expected to be substantially complete by the end of March 2015.

25. The table below outlines the target lengths set for the full year and progress to date:

Table 1: Renewal Target lengths

Work Activity	2014/15 Target lengths (km)	Completed lengths as at 31/12/14 (km)
Rehabilitation	37.4	11.1
Resurfacing	427.4	187.1
Footpaths	116.7	62.4
Total	581.5	260.6

26. Expressions of Interest have been sought in respect to the carrying out of street light maintenance across the region. The Expression of Interest (EOI) process will result in a shortlist of participants who will then be invited to participate in a Request for Tender (RFT) process in the New Year. There will be four geographically based contracts - North, South, Central and West.

27. These contracts will each be for a term of 4 years (with an option for two extensions of one year each at Auckland Transport’s discretion) and will commence on 1 July 2015. No contractor will be able to win or participate in more than two of the four contracts.

28. The work includes the carrying out of all maintenance, renewals and minor capital works on the street lighting network. It also includes the replacement of the existing 70W high pressure sodium luminaires with approved LED luminaires.

29. Tenders have been called for the carrying out of a number of pavement rehabilitation projects in the west and south areas. The work tendered comprises 15-20% of the total pavement rehabilitation programmes for these areas. The remaining projects are being carried out through our 10 area-based road maintenance contracts.

30. The purpose of tendering this work is to provide an opportunity for contractors other than our road maintenance contractors to bid for this work and also to benchmark the tendered rates in these contracts against the rates in our existing road maintenance contracts. This is part of an on-going commitment to maintain a sustainable contracting environment in the Auckland region.

Albert-Eden Local Board

04 March 2015

Local board input on the draft Regional Land Transport Plan 2015-2025

File No.: CP2015/00871

Purpose

1. To outline the options for local boards to provide feedback on the draft Regional Land Transport Plan 2015-2025 and agree the approach the Albert-Eden Local Board will take to provide their feedback.

Executive Summary

2. The draft Regional Land Transport Plan 2015-2025 (RLTP) was endorsed by Auckland Transport’s Board at their 16 December 2014 meeting. It sets out the programme of work Auckland Transport (AT) proposes to deliver over the next ten years, within the funding available, and the models used to prioritise projects. Attachment A is the draft RLTP.

3. Local boards had three opportunities at different workshops in 2014 to discuss the RLTP process, prioritisation mechanisms and proposed projects with Auckland Transport management and staff.

4. Following on from these workshops, local boards are now encouraged to provide formal feedback about the draft RLTP. There are two ways boards can do this. AT would like to encourage boards to take up both opportunities.

a) Speak at the AT Transport Stakeholder event that is taking place on the 10 and 11 March. This is a hearing style event where local board members will be heard by members of the AT board.

b) Provide written feedback to AT by 16 March.

Recommendation/s

That the Albert-Eden Local Board:

a) agree to provide feedback to Auckland Transport on the draft Regional Land Transport Plan 2015-2025 by:

i) speaking at the Auckland Transport Transport Stakeholder event.

ii) providing written feedback to Auckland Transport.

b) delegate to the Chair and the transport portfolio holders the power to speak on behalf of the board at the Auckland Transport Transport Stakeholder event.

c) delegate to the chair and the transport portfolio holders the power to approve the board’s written feedback to Auckland Transport on the draft Regional Land Transport Plan 2015-2025.

Discussion

The draft RLTP

5. The draft Regional Land Transport Plan 2015-2025 (RLTP) was endorsed by Auckland Transport’s Board at their 16 December 2014 meeting. It sets out the programme of work Auckland Transport proposes to deliver over the next ten years, within the funding available, and the models used to prioritise projects. Attachment A is the draft RLTP.

6. In addition, the draft RLTP identifies an alternative transport investment package that may be possible if additional funding can be secured.

7. The council’s Long-term Plan (LTP) and the RLTP are developed under a very similar timeline and cover largely the same transport issues. Rather than consulting with Aucklanders on the same issues at the same time, this year a single consultation process will be used to seek Aucklanders’ feedback on transport and inform both the LTP and the RLTP. This consultation is taking place between 23 January and 16 March.

Local board input on the draft RLTP

8. Local boards had three opportunities at different workshops in 2014 to discuss the RLTP process, prioritisation mechanisms and proposed projects with Auckland Transport management and staff. Therefore boards should already be familiar with the broad direction of the draft RLTP and the constraints involved.

9. Following on from these workshops, local boards are now encouraged to provide formal feedback about the draft RLTP. There are two ways boards can do this. AT would like to encourage boards to take up both opportunities.

a) Speak at the AT Transport Stakeholder event that is taking place on the 10 and 11 March. This is a hearing style event where local board members will be heard by members of the AT board. From those boards speaking at these events, AT is seeking a written summary in advance of the event as well as written feedback (see below for details) which generally summarises and reflects their verbal presentations. Boards will need to delegate to member/s the power to speak on behalf of their board at this event.

b) Provide written feedback to AT by the 16 March by delegating to member/s the power to approve the board’s written feedback prior to submitting it to AT.

10. These deadlines are important because Auckland Transport staff must analyse all submissions and prepare a revised draft of the RLTP for the April 2015 AT Board meeting. The revised draft RLTP must be provided to New Zealand Transport Agency by 30 April to ensure central government considers Auckland’s programme alongside all other regional programmes from across New Zealand.

11. Local boards have already undertaken extensive community engagement to inform their local board plans and advocacy plans, including on transport. This is in addition to the ongoing conversations boards have with their communities about their priorities and the engagement taking place as part of the LTP and RLTP consultation. This information will be useful to inform local board feedback on the draft RLTP.

12. When providing feedback on the draft RLTP, it is useful to remember that:

a) it is the governing body not AT that will decide the level of funding that will be made available to deliver on the transport programme.

b) the RLTP presents a proposed programme of work that is able to be delivered within the funding the draft LTP has made available for transport.

13. Therefore if boards have feedback on the level of funding that has been allocated to transport in the LTP this can be advocated to the governing body. Feedback on the draft RLTP could focus on the proposed programme of work and the prioritisation model that has been used to determine this.

14. In addition to local boards providing feedback on the RLTP, the community also has the opportunity through the LTP/RLTP consultation to give their views to AT.

15. Local board feedback will be analysed along with all other feedback AT receives through the RLTP consultation. This will inform any amendments to the draft RLTP which will be reported back to the AT Board in April.

Consideration

Local Board Views and Implications

16. This report sets out how local boards have already been engaged in the development of the draft RLTP and how they can now choose to provide formal feedback.

Maori Impact Statement

17. This report is about how local boards can provide feedback to AT on the draft RLTP. In terms of the process boards can follow for this, there are no specific impacts on Māori. There may be some consideration in boards’ feedback to AT on how the transport programme affects Māori. In addition there are also two regional stakeholder hui that will take place as part of the LTP/RLTP consultation.

Implementation Issues

18. The final RLTP will be posted on AT’s website as soon as possible after adoption, and printed copies will be made available prior to the statutory deadline of 31 July 2015.
