Resolution
number DT/2018/47
MOVED by Chairperson G Gillon, seconded by Member M
Cohen:
That
the Devonport-Takapuna Local Board:
a) receives
the Auckland Transport April 2018 monthly update report and thank Marilyn
Nicholls, Elected Member Relationship Manager for her presentation and
attendance.
b) reiterates
its strategic objective as indicated in the Devonport-Takapuna Local Board
Plan 2017 to address congestion issues on lake road, and its specific
direction to work with Auckland Transport to deliver alternative modes of
transport within the local board area.
c) recognises
that reducing congestion on Lake Road is the most important issue identified
by residents, communities and businesses in the local board area.
d) supports
prioritising the allocation of its local board transport capital fund (LBTCF)
towards cycling and walking projects that support the reduction of congestion
of Lake Road.
e) supports the delivery of
a safe and effective cycling and walking route that is an attractive
alternative to using Lake Road, which:
i. can
be used by people for commuting and recreational purposes
ii. would
enable a complete connection that starts in Devonport, continues along the
Devonport peninsula and ultimately connects to the SeaPath and SkyPath
routes.
f) requests that
Auckland Transport staff scope, investigate and provide a rough order of
costs for potential allocation from the local board transport capital fund
(LBTCF), the following new walking and cycling connections within the
Devonport-Takapuna Local Board area:
i. Esmonde
Road, Takapuna and Francis Street, Hauraki
ii. Francis
Street and Lowe Street, Hauraki
iii. Creamer
Avenue, Belmont to Bayswater Avenue, Bayswater.
g) requests advice from
Auckland Transport staff on the staging and indicative timeline for each
project outlined in resolution number DT/2018/47 f) above, and what budgetary
implications this may have on current and future allocation of the local
board transport capital fund (LBTCF).
h) notes that following the
receipt of confirmation of scope and costs of those projects listed in
resolution number DT/2018/47 f) above, the local board supports in principle
the allocation of the balance of the local board transport capital fund
(LBTCF) towards enhancement of the Patuone Reserve renewal.
i) notes that budget
from the local board’s locally driven initiatives (LDI) capital budget
may be required to fully fund the enhancement of the Patuone Reserve.
j) requests that
staff investigate and present the potential scope and costs of the Patuone
Reserve renewal to a local board workshop in May 2018.
k) requests that the
costings be presented in the June 2018 Auckland Transport monthly report to
ensure any unallocated local board transport capital funding (LBTCF) can be
committed to projects before 30 June 2018.
l) requests that
Auckland Transport staff includes assessment of the following projects as
part of the Lake Road indicative business case:
i. footpaths
on both sides of Lake Road, from Seabreeze Road to Takapuna, be made as wide
as possible so that they can be shared by pedestrians and slower cyclists,
especially those school pupils who cycle to and from school
ii. full-time
transit lands operate in both directions along Lake Road, between Bayswater Avenue
and Esmonde Road, to cater for buses, T2 cars, motorcycles and cyclists.
m) requests that the previously presented Flow Traffic Engineering
report on the right turn arrow on the corner of Burns Avenue
and Esmonde Road for traffic travelling North on the motorway be
recirculated to the board.
