Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board

15 February 2017

Auckland Transport Update - February 2017

File No.: CP2017/00798

Purpose

1. This report is a monthly report that updates the Mangere-Otahuhu Local Board (MOLB) on transport related issues. Normally it includes the current status of its Local Board Transport Capital Fund projects, responds to resolutions made by the MOLB and advocacy issues raised by board members; and provides information on matters of specific application and interest to the MOLB.

Executive summary

2. This month no decision is required but information is provided about the following matters:

· Auckland Transport’s strategic alignment

· The Local Board Transport Capital Fund including an update on existing projects

· Auckland Transport projects that are currently being delivered in the area.

Recommendation/s

That the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board:

a) Note the Auckland Transport Update – February 2017 report.

b) Request that Auckland Transport provide ‘Rough Orders of Cost’ for four projects:

i. Improving footpaths in and around the Mangere East Town Centre.

ii. Building a two-lane roundabout at the intersection of Bader Drive and Idelwild Roads.

iii. Widening the section of Bader Drive in front of the Cosmopolitan Club to provide two lanes of traffic in each direction.

iv. Building ‘pump tracks’ or ‘cycle training tracks’ in either Centre Park, Boggust Park or in both.

Responding to Mangere-Otahuhu Local Board Resolutions

3. The Resolution is recorded below in italics. Auckland Transport’s response is below the Resolution in normal font.

Resolution number MO/2016/189

That the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board:

b) commends the new Mangere bus interchange and toilet, but would ask Auckland Transport to consider and respond to the following:

i) There is a lack of a direct bus route connection to Middlemore Hospital, which is an important destination for members of our community.

ii) There are deficiencies in design that impact accessibility for older and disabled members of the community, for example: bus stop seating is not located next to where the buses actually stop to pick up passengers, large spaces exist without seating and there is a general lack of bus stop seating.

c) commends the Future Streets project, but would ask Auckland Transport to consider and respond to the following:

i) Ensure that cars are not parked in areas that have been developed for pedestrians.

ii) Fix pavement treatments that have already started to deteriorate.

d) expresses the board’s disappointment in the delay of the bus shelter at 3 Church Road, Mangere Bridge.

e) requests relevant officers to seek statistics and evidence of the impact of Future Streets regarding safety from crime and the community satisfaction perspective.

4. Auckland Transport has noted Resolution (b) and senior managers will discuss the Middlemore bus route with the MOLB. With regard to the second part of the Resolution that queries suitability of the Mangere Town Centre Bus Station’s layout for use by older or disabled people.

5. Auckland Transport would like to note that the layout of the bus station was designed by a contractor that is recognized as an expert in the field of ‘accessible design’. That the design was vetted by representatives from the disability sector and it built to design standards that incorporate ‘best practice’ for accessibility.

6. The new bus station provides a considerably higher standard of service for users including:

· This project increases the amount of seating from 17 under the old shelter to at least 24 in the two new shelters. The new shelters also have sides that protect people from the wind. There are also seats at the rear that are partially sheltered by the medical centre.

· In the new timetable buses leave the stop at intervals of about 7 minutes. This means that passengers will clear more quickly increasing the usable space. Predicted peak hour patronage is approx.160-170 passengers. If a 50 seat bus arrives every seven minutes the chances of a large crowd building up at the station are considerably lower reducing the risk of older or disabled patrons not being able to find a seat.

· Toilet facilities are included at the station.

· The footpaths providing access to the station have been improved.

7. In summary the new Mangere Town Centre Bus Station was designed to be very accessible and significantly increases the amount of seating, weather protection and access.

8. Future Streets is a large project and the concerns raised in Resolution (c) are being addressed. The poor quality of the surfacing of the walkways in the car park has been noted by the project team. The project manager has addressed this with the contractor and the surfacing will be replaced at the contractor’s expense. This operation needs to be done in very dry weather and cannot be rushed or it will need to be done again. The resurfacing is planned for February or March 2017 which are Auckland’s sunniest months.

9. With regard to people parking on the walkways during market day. This is a complex issue that will take longer to address. The MOLB has been briefed in detail on the issues involved because resolving it will involve reaching agreement with the market management to keep the walkways clear while the car park is being used and this process will take time.

10. With regard to Resolution (d) the MOLB’s disappointment at the time it has taken to deliver the bus shelter at 3 Church Street is noted. But the project is progressing and consultation with local residents is planned to start soon. The project had a number of technical issues that the MOLB has been briefed on, that needed to be addressed. During the implementation of the ‘New Network’ this project had to take a lower priority but is now being pursued again.

11. The final resolution about gathering statistics and evidence for the impact of Future Streets on safety from crime and overall community satisfaction has been noted and will be addressed.

Strategic alignment

12. In Mangere-Otahuhu at this time the biggest strategic project is still the introduction of the ‘New Network’. In Chapter 13 of the Auckland Plan, Council prioritised the development of ‘a transformational improvement in the speed, capacity, reliability and connectivity of the public transport system’.

13. The ‘New Network’ is a key strategic project aimed at meeting this direction. It started in October 2016. The project was a complete re-structure of public transport aiming to create a simpler and more integrated public transport network in South Auckland.

14. Generally feedback has been positive and key indicators are tracking as predicted. For instance train boardings at Otahuhu and Manukau have increased, with Otahuhu doubling over the first three weeks of operation; transfers across South Auckland are up by 147% (bus/bus transfers up by 94% and bus/train transfers up by 207%) and overall patronage has not dropped.

15. Next steps will be promotion of new routes in areas that previously had no or limited service.

There have been some minor issues with scheduling on some routes and this is being addressed.

AT’s actions against advocacy plans

16. This section provides a regular report about how Auckland Transport is supporting the MOLB ‘Advocacy Initiatives’ recorded in the MOLB Local Board Plan. In this report the MOLB’s ‘Advocacy Initiatives’ from the 2013-16 term are recorded in the table below providing a summary of their status.

Table 1: Advocacy Initiative Status

Local board transport capital fund (LBTCF) update

Updates

17. The LBTCF is a capital budget provided to all Local Boards by Auckland Council and delivered by Auckland Transport. Local Boards can use this fund to deliver projects that they believe are important but are not part of Auckland Transport’s work programme. The limitations being that the project must:

· Be safe

· Not impede network efficiency

· Be in the road corridor. Although projects running through parks can be considered if there is a transport outcome.

18. MOLB’s annual funding is approx:

· $ 90,000 carried forward from the previous term.

· $ 560,000 for the 17/18 Financial Year

· $ 577,000 for the 18/19 Financial Year

· $ 590,000 for the 19/20 Financial Year (although the election is in 2019 the 19/20 Financial Year starts before the election so this money can be spent by this term’s local board).

19. The annual increase is because the fund will now be adjusted for inflation each year.

20. Local Boards are allowed to consolidate the three years of funding available to them in electoral term. In the MOLB’s case this means a total of approx. $ 1,817,000 could be spent on transport projects in this electoral term.

21. Auckland Transport encourages all local boards to identify potential projects as early as possible. This is because projects can take a long-time to deliver and this limits the risk of projects not being delivered in the current electoral term.

Projects

22. The MOLB has already put considerable work into identifying possible projects and planning workshops took place on 7 December 2016 and 1 February 2017. Potential new projects were identified for further investigation including feasibility and development of a ‘Rough Order of Cost’(ROC):

· Upgrading the footpaths in and around the Mangere East Town Centre

· Building a two lane roundabout at the intersection of Bader Drive and Orly Road

· Widening Bader Drive in front of the Cosmopolitan Club

· Building cycling facilities such as ‘pump tracks’ or ‘cycling training tracks’ in Centre Park and/or Boggust Park

23. The MOLB will request that Auckland Transport investigate the feasibility and provide a cost for each of these proposed projects. Draft ‘Recommendations’ are included above. Detailed application forms for each of the projects will be developed and submitted to Auckland Transport’s technical teams by the Auckland Transport Relationship Manager.

24. Auckland Transport staff will develop the concepts and indicative costs and report back to the MOLB. The MOLB is responsible for discussing these ideas with iwi and other local community groups so that when projects are prioritised this process is well informed about potential concerns.

25. When the ROC is provided by Auckland Transport this information can be used to help prioritise projects. A prioritisation guideline has been developed to help with this process. It is included as Attachment A. This document is a guideline. It was written to provide all local boards with a list of considerations when allocating their Local Board Transport Fund. A local board can choose to use it, modify it or disregard it and develop their own framework.

Upcoming projects and activities

Consultations

26. Auckland Transport provides the MOLB with the opportunity to comment on transport projects being delivered in this local board area.

27. In this reporting period, no projects were put forward for comment by the MOLB.

28. Traffic Control Committee (TCC) decisions are reported on a monthly basis. In December there was one TCC decision in the MOLB area.

Annual Public Transport Fare Review

29. Every year Auckland Transport is required to carry out an annual review of all public transport fares. The annual review takes into account the operating cost increases, cost of living, the investment needed to provide additional services and also to improve and upgrade our infrastructure (including ferry terminals, train stations and bus stops).

30. Auckland Transport also needs to meet national requirements such the proportion of the total fare that we have to recover from (or charge to) fare paying passengers. The rest of the fare being subsidised by a combination of Auckland ratepayers and taxpayers.

31. On 29 January 2017 fares changed. The main changes are summarised below:

· AT HOP bus and train fares for 1, 2 and 4 Zones increase by 5 cents and 10 cents

· Cash bus and train fares for 1, 2 and 4 Zones increase by 50 cents

· AT HOP tertiary student bus and rail fares increase by 4 to 8 cents between 1 and 4 Zones to ensure a consistent discount compared to AT HOP adult fares

· The AT HOP Monthly Bus and Train Pass increases by $10

32. AT HOP card fares have been kept as low as possible and AT HOP adult and child fares are at least 25% lower than the equivalent cash fare while AT HOP child fares are at least 40% lower than adult AT HOP and AT HOP tertiary fares are at least 20 percent lower than adult AT HOP.

Roads and Streets Framework (RASF) and Transport Design Manual (TDM)

33. Auckland Transport is reviewing the Auckland Transport Code of Practice (ATCOP). The plan is that it will be replaced by the following:

· A ‘Roads and Streets Framework’ – That will guide decision-making in the road corridor to provide a better balance between local place-making and transport movement functions and priorities.

· A ‘Transport Design Manual’ – That provides technical direction about design standards.

34. The aim being to make guideline for road corridor infrastructure more flexible and responsive to local needs but still maintain high technical standards.

The sub-regional workshops are currently being scheduled for 20 / 27 March 2017. Details will be confirmed soon and invites sent to Members directly.

Station Upgrades

35. Auckland Transport’s biggest project in Mangere-Otahuhu this reporting period is the upgrade of Middlemore Station. This project will involve building new fences, security gates and installing more lights and cameras.

36. The MOLB was briefed about the plan on 1 February 2017.

37. The aim is that this project will be completed by mid-2017.

Walking School Bus Week 27 February - 3 March 2017

38. Early in the school year Auckland Transport publicises walking school buses by running a promotional week. ‘Walking School Bus Week’ involves competitions and events organised for people that participate in and support walking school buses.

Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board

15 February 2017

New Road Name Approval for Auckland International Airport Ltd for a new road at The Landing, Mangere.

File No.: CP2017/00384

Purpose

1. The purpose of this report is to seek approval from the Mangere-Otahuhu Local Board, for a new road name for a road created within the development at The Landing, Mangere.

Executive summary

2. Auckland Council has road naming guidelines that set out the requirements and criteria of the Council for proposed road names. These requirements and criteria have been applied in this situation to ensure consistency of road naming for the Auckland Council.

3. Following assessment against the road naming criteria, the road names “Sir Keith Park Avenue” (applicant’s preferred road name), “Altitude Avenue” and “Horako Drive” were determined to meet the road naming guideline criteria.

4. The Applicant contacted thirteen Iwi groups and received responses from Ngati Whatua, Makaurau Marae and Te Akitai.

5. The suffixes “Avenue and Drive”” were considered appropriate.

6. The name “Sir Keith Park Avenue”, proposed by the Applicant and the alternate names “Altitude Drive” and “Horako Drive” are considered for approval by the Local Board.

Recommendation/s

That the Mangere-Otahuhu Local Board, pursuant to section 319(1)(j) of the Local Government Act 1974, considers for approval, the road name “Sir Keith Park Avenue”, proposed by the Applicant, for the new road created within the development at The Landing, Mangere while noting that the names “Altitude Drive” and “Horako Drive” also meet the road naming criteria.

Comments

7. The Auckland Council Road Naming Guidelines allowed that where a new road needs to be named as a result of a subdivision or development, the subdivider/developer shall be given the opportunity of suggesting their preferred new road name for the Local Board’s approval.

8. The Applicant has been developing an extensive business park (known as The Landing) on its land adjacent to the proposed second runway. A new road within the Landing Precinct is nearing completion and requires formal naming.

The Applicant has proposed the following names for consideration.

Preference	Proposed New Road Name	Meaning
Preferred Name	Sir Keith Park Avenue	Air Chief Marshall Sir Keith Rodney Park GCB, KBE, MC & Bar, DFC was a New Zealand soldier, First World War Flying ace, and Second World War Royal Air Force commander. He was in tactical command for two major victories being the Battle of Britain and Battle of Malta. On his return to New Zealand, Sir Keith took up a number of civic roles, including as an Auckland City Councillor. Sir Keith died in 1975.
First Alternative	Altitude Drive	In aviation, Altitude is commonly referred to as a distance measurement, usually in the vertical or "up" direction, between a reference datum and a point or object. Given that “The Landing” business park has reference to take off and departures, the name “Altitude Drive” would fit within this theme.
Second Alternative	Horako Drive	Horako is the Maori reference term to the Ihumatao fossil forest, which is comprised of two forests. Approximately 29,900 years ago, the nearby Maungataketake volcano erupted, covering the forests with volcanic ash. The older forest is comprised of large stumps and logs and is buried in peat, which underlies layers of volcanic ash. These are the remains of mature podocarp forest. The younger forest is comprised of rimu, miro, hinau, kauri and tanekaha and is also preserved beneath the volcanic ash.

Figure One: Location and Layout of new Road

Decision Making

9. The Auckland Council, by way of the Auckland Council Long Term Plan (2012 - 2022), allocated the responsibility for the naming of new roads, pursuant to section 319(1)(j) of the Local Government Act 1974, to Local Boards.

Assessment

10. The Applicant’s proposed road names have been assessed against the criteria set out in the Auckland Council road naming guidelines;

11. All three proposed names meet the Road naming guidelines.

12. Both of the proposed road suffixes (Drive and Avenue) are considered appropriate as the new road is consistent with a wide or broad road.

13. As the Applicant’s preferred name (Sir Keith Park Avenue) meets the criteria, it is recommended for consideration for approval while noting that the alternate names proposed (Altitude Drive and Horako Drive) are also appropriate as they comply with all the criteria of the road naming guidelines.

Consideration

Significance of Decision

14. The decision sought from the Mangere-Otahuhu Local Board for this report does not trigger any significant policy and is not considered to have any immediate impact on the community.

Maori impact statement

15. The decision sought from the Mangere-Otahuhu Local Board on this report is linked to the Auckland Plan Outcome, “A Maori identity that is Auckland’s point of difference in the world”. The use of Maori names for roads, buildings and other public places is an opportunity to publicly demonstrate Maori identity.

Consultation

16. The Applicant undertook consultation with Ngai Tai ki Tamaki, Te Kawarau iwi, Makarau Marae, Ngati Tamaoho, Te Akitai, Ngati Paoa, Ngati Maru, Ngaati Whanaunga, Ngati Tamatera, Ngati Whatua and Tainui. Responses were received from three Iwi: Ngati Whatua, Te Akitai, and Makarau Marae Maori Trust.

· Ngati Whatua deferred to Te Akitai.

· Te Akitai indicated a preference for Horako but noted “it depends on future road naming opportunities and the trend of using individual names for roads in the airport region”.

· Makaurau Marae Maori Trust supported the use of the name “Sir Keith Park Avenue” stating “we are also aware of and acknowledge the Disability Support Institute Sir Keith Park in Robertson Road, Mangere. The park is reputable throughout Mangere / Otahuhu as an honoured hostel and educational facility for Haua (Disabled)”. They considered that the Te Reo word Pikinga (to ascend or climb) was a better option than the name Altitude. While acknowledging the proposing of Horako as a name, Makaurau Marae Maori Trust preferred that the name Horako “be used closer to the area it relates to so that it can be supported by proximity landscape”.

17. New Zealand Post raised no concerns with the proposed names.

Financial and Resourcing Implications

18. The cost of processing the approval of the proposed new road name and any installation of road name signage is recoverable in accordance with Council’s Administrative Charges.

Legal and Legislative Implications

19. The decision sought from the Mangere-Otahuhu Local Board for this report is not considered to have any legal or legislative implications.

Implementation

20. The Resource Consenting Team is involved in ensuring that appropriate road name signage will be installed accordingly once an approval is obtained for the new road name.
