Resolution number OR/2015/4
MOVED
by Chairperson DEC Simpson, seconded by Member KH Baguley:
That the Orākei
Local Board:
a)
receives the March 2015 report from
Auckland Transport, noting that it still does not reflect the Board’s request
for a detailed works schedule for 2015/2016.
b)
notes with concern that the reporting
from Auckland Transport still has not met the resolution passed 12 months ago
on 3 April 2014, item 13, nor has the Orākei Local Board been given the
12 month Auckland Transport Projects update and detailed work schedule.
c)
notes with concern that the Parks
department commissioned a design brief for The Landing entrance without
consulting with Auckland Transport at the design stage.
d)
notes with concern that The Landing sub-committee
and user groups preferred options for The Landing entrance on Tamaki Drive
has been accepted by Auckland Transport with no formal response prior to the
item in Orākei Local Board business agenda.
e)
notes that a modified design has been
consulted with The Landing user group members but has not come to The Landing
sub-committee.
f)
requests confirmation from Auckland
Transport of The Landing entrance design and works cost and that the design be
approved by The Landing sub-committee.
g)
approves $120,000 from the Transport
Capital Fund, to construct the Churchill Park Street Lights.
h)
defers the Churchill Park Pathway – Bay
Road Entrance Project of $60,000 from the Transport Capital Fund, to be
revisited if funds are available once projects with a higher priority are
delivered.
i)
approves $110,000 from the Transport
Capital Fund, to construct the entrance way at Evesham Avenue, Glendowie.
j)
supports the Waiatarua Entrance project
at Abbotts Way being a priority project and supports the separation of the
carpark from other proposed pathway projects in Waiatarua Reserve and
requests Auckland Transport and Parks to identify costs of the different
projects so as to ascertain which projects can be funded from the Transport
Capital Fund and which projects can be funded from Parks budgets, noting a
total cost of $510,000 has been previously suggested as the cost of several
projects.
k)
is pleased to note the Tamaki Drive to
Glen Innes Walkway/Cycleway stage one will be fully funded by Central
Government.
l)
notes that progress reports of the
Tamaki Drive to Glen Innes Walkway/Cycleway project will be provided to the Orākei
Local Board via Member Baguley’s monthly transport report.
m) notes the Stonefields Loop feeder bus services trial commenced on
21 February and seeks clarification from Auckland Transport on the monitoring
of the trial and how long the feeder bus services trial will last.
n)
appreciates the road resurfacing
information received and requests clarification on when the “4-5 sweeps to
remove excess chip from the surface” will occur and further requests the
planned road resurface schedule for roads in the Orākei Local Board for
the next six months be advised, noting weather dependency is a factor.
o)
has received further information from
Auckland Transport relating to the Clonbern Road car park as follows:
Auckland Transport have
been evaluating the car park structure in Clonbern Road, with aim of ensuring
it is safe, providing on-going monthly monitoring of the facility and
considering all options, which include working through options within the
broader organisation concerning a possible disposal.
We have
taken advice of professional structural engineers to ensure the safety of the
structure with on-going monthly surveys, and applying weight restrictions on
the top deck.
p)
notes with concern that no ReVup
projects have been completed to date but note that the start date of 23 March
2015 has been confirmed for the Remuera Road entranceway to the Village
Green.
q)
urges Auckland Transport to review the
approach it takes to Local Board transport capital fund projects to improve
the timeliness of delivery.
r)
adds a second agenda item to 23 April
2015 Extraordinary meeting of the Orākei Local Board for a City Rail
Link briefing from Stephen Rainbow.
