Auckland Transport Report for March 2015

 

Lorna Stewart, Elected Member Relationship Manager from Auckland Transport, was in attendance to speak to this item.

 

Resolution number PKTPP/2015/41

MOVED by Member DA Holm, seconded by Chairperson JM Fairey:  

That the Puketāpapa Local Board:

a)      receive the report.

b)      support in principle the Light Rail Transit proposal as it currently stands, however expresses a number of concerns that need addressing urgently:

              i.        a fair and equitable funding mechanism for this project, which is currently unfunded in both the Basic and Auckland Plan Regional Land Transport Plan proposals

            ii.        timeframes that work in with existing projects in the area, in particular the Mt Roskill Village upgrade which is budgeted for capex in 2016/17 in the proposed Long Term Plan

           iii.        the possibility of proceeding with the existing Dominion Road Project as soon as possible, given that we were assured that project was future-proofed for light rail

           iv.        how the proposal can adequately address the “isthmus void” issue correctly identified as one of the drivers for LRT, in particular by extension to Roskill South.

c)      note that it first resolved to continue with the upgrading of the Mt Albert Road pedestrian refuge in March 2014 and was then advised by Auckland Transport in April 2014 that construction could begin in June 2014.  The Board requests an explanation for the considerable delays in implementing this project on a busy road with ongoing safety concerns and advice on what steps Auckland Transport will take to avoid such delays on similar projects in future.

d)      recognise the difficulties in using land designated green space for parking on the western side of Somerset Road, and accepts Auckland Transport ‘s proposal to add 7 additional angle parks adjacent to the existing angle parking, opposite the hockey field.  The Board does not wish to pursue a lease of the land further to the east offered by Kiwirail, which is too far from the area of concern and would be very difficult to arrange suitable access to.

e)      express its disappointment and concern at the lack of adequate response from Auckland Transport to PKTPP/2014/265 seeking a report to this agenda in regard to progressing berm planting guidelines, and delegates to the Chair and Board Member Holm to write a letter expressing these concerns and reiterating our request to the CEO of Auckland Transport.

f)       thank Lorna Stewart for her attendance.
