Documents titled ‘Minor Improvement Works (2018-2019) Kaipatiki Local Board’, ‘Forward Works Plan Renewals (2018-2019) Kaipatiki Local Board and ‘North Auckland – Major Capital Projects’ were tabled.

MOVED by Chairperson J Gillon, seconded by Member P Gillon: 

That the Kaipātiki Local Board:

a)        note the Auckland Transport Monthly Update Kaipātiki Local Board August 2018.

b)      note that the feedback request for proposed minor intersection improvements at Hillcrest Ave/Sylvia Ave, Coronation Rd/Beatrice Ave, Coronation Rd/Hillcrest Ave, Coronation Rd/Velma Road, Coronation Rd/Lynden Ave, Chartwell Ave/Lingfield St, didn’t reach Local Board members.

c)      support the inclusion of Glenfield Road/Coronation Road/Domain Road intersection as part of the minor improvement works for 2018/19, however requests that Auckland Transport consider an enhanced roundabout solution such as that previously consulted on, rather than signalisation at this location, for the following reasons:

 i.       in order to maintain steady traffic flow at the intersection, and

ii.       due to the close proximity to the proposed Archers Road/Coronation Road roundabout.

d)      request that Auckland Transport consider a wider notification area for night-time road works, including pavement rehabilitations, due to complaints from the community over lack of notification and the distance that noise carries at night.

e)      request that the concrete road down the middle of Queen Street, Northcote Point, be submitted to council’s Heritage team to be assessed for inclusion

f)       restate resolution KT/2018/141, namely to support an in-principle allocation of up to $2 million of Local Board Auckland Transport Capital Fund towards the development of an all-weather ferry terminal at Northcote Point, noting that existing projects may need to be reprioritised.

Project Streetscapes

 

Resolution number KT/2018/152

MOVED by Chairperson J Gillon, seconded by Member A Tyler:  

That the Kaipātiki Local Board:

a)         support the transfer of streetscape services from Auckland Transport and Waste Solutions to Community Facilities’ Full Facilities suppliers as part of Project Streetscapes with the proviso that the contract outcomes reflect local character, not one generic outcome across the region.

b)        note that the majority of the service specifications for the proposed 5 levels of service (A, B, C, D and E) for Project Streetscapes remain prescriptive and not outcome focused, due to budget constraints, and requests that the Governing Body consider increasing the budget for Project Streetscapes so it aligns with the outcomes based service levels of Project 17.

c)        note with concern that some of the assets being transferred from Auckland Transport to Community Facilities’ Full Facilities suppliers may not be in good condition or are not being serviced appropriately, and supports Community Facilities working with Auckland Transport to upgrade these assets prior to their transfer as part of Project Streetscapes.

d)        recommend, as a principle that applies to the whole local board area, that all:

                  i.        berms, roundabouts, traffic islands and other traffic controlling mechanisms are maintained to the highest standard and on an outcome basis

                ii.        plantings, flowerbeds and fauna detailed in clause d i. are maintained on an outcome basis.

               iii.        assets in streescapes services (e.g. community noticeboards) are included in the asset register and included in the renewals programme.

e)        recommend a consistent and integrated process and level of service, that allows for maintenance to be undertaken on adjacent parcels of land that are owned by different entities (e.g. land owned by Auckland Council and the New Zealand Transport Agency that abut each other).

f)          recommend that the following assets be given priority for town centre cleaning and loose litter collection:

                  i.        berms and arterial road mowing and maintenance

                ii.        bins 

               iii.        lights

               iv.        trees and flowerbeds, including leaf fall

                v.        bus shelters, cleaning and inspecting all loose litter pick up of leaf fall, detritus, organic material and branches

               vi.        sweeping hard surfaces and cleaning

              vii.        steam cleaning of seating, footpaths, paved walkways, including shared spaces and civic spaces

            viii.        street furniture cleaning and minor maintenance

               ix.        before and after events

g)        request clarification from Community Facilities on how community organisations or business associations can take a community-led approach to berm and vegetation management .  

h)        delegate authority to Chairperson John Gillon to identify the local board’s top 10 local issues with Auckland Transport or Waste Solution streetscape services  in the Kaipatiki Local Board area, noting that:

                  i.        the identification of issues will be made in consultation with the Deputy Chairperson.

                ii.        the list of top 10 local issues submitted by the Chairperson will be reported back to the full board.

i)          request that the Governing Body ensure that appropriate funding is made available to prevent any drop in levels of service, due to the increased streetscape service standards, should the current budget being transferred from Auckland Transport to Community Facilities be insufficient. 

j)          note that the majority of the neighbourhood shopping amenities within Kaipātiki are on private land.

k)         continue to strongly request that the Akoranga Road median garden and the entrance gardens at both entrances to Mariposa crescent be brought up to standard with new soil, and planted appropriately.
