File No.: CP2018/19082

Te take mō te pūrongo / Purpose of the report

1. To provide an update to the Rodney Local Board’s Transport, Infrastructure and Environment Committee on transport related matters in its area, including the Local Board Transport Capital Fund.

Whakarāpopototanga matua / Executive summary

2. This report covers:

· A summary of the board’s transport capital fund

· Matakana Link Road

· Monowai Road seal extension

· Auckland’s New Network and New bus services for Warkworth and the Kowhai Coast

· Albany Station Park and Ride extension

· Auckland’s twelve new red light safety cameras

· AT’s Annual Report

· A summary of consultation activity

· Traffic Control Committee decisions

· An update on issues raised

Ngā tūtohunga / Recommendation/s

That the Rodney Local Board Transport, Infrastructure and Environment Committee:

a) receive the Auckland Transport October 2018 update report.

Horopaki / Context

3. This report updates the local board on Auckland Transport (AT) projects and operations in the Rodney Local Board area, it summarises consultations and Traffic Control Committee results, and includes information on the status of the Local Board Transport Capital Fund.

4. AT is responsible for all of Auckland’s transport services, excluding state highways. We report on a monthly basis to local boards, as set out in our Local Board Engagement Plan. This monthly reporting commitment acknowledges the important engagement role local boards play within the governance of Auckland on behalf of their local communities.

5. The Local Board Transport Capital Fund is a capital budget provided to all local boards by Auckland Council and delivered by AT. Local boards can use this fund to deliver transport infrastructure projects that they believe are important to their communities but are not part of AT’s work programme. Projects must also:

· 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).

Local Board Transport Capital Fund

6. The Rodney Local Board’s share of the Local Board Transport Capital Fund (LBTCF) allocated with effect from 1 July 2018, as per the funding policy, is $1,115,764 per annum.

7. The total remaining in the current electoral term to the Rodney Local Board is $2,000,257. This comprises $884,493 that must be allocated to projects by 30 June 2019 and an additional $1,115,764 available for 2019/2020 that may be allocated.

8. The table below reflects the status of projects to which LBTCF has already been committed:

Project	Current status	Has the status changed since last month’s update?	Funds allocated in current political term
399 - Great North Road, Riverhead Footpath	Completed	No	$6,732
497 - Pohutakawa to The Landing Footpath	Completed	No	$59,828
593 - Matakana Valley Road Swales	Construction Approved	Yes	$177,000
619 - Rodney Footpath Designs	Allocation Approved	Yes	$500,000

9. Project 593, the Matakana Valley Road Swales, will be constructed during the 2018/2019 financial year in collaboration with Healthy Waters and AT’s maintenance team which has a road rehabilitation programmed.

10. The local board requested that AT investigate options and provide rough order costs for a footpath along Matakana Road, from Melwood Drive to (approximately) Clayden Road where the proposed Matakana Link Road will intersect with Matakana Road, a distance of approximately 1.2kms (RODTP/2018/3). Options and rough order costs were provided in AT’s Update report to the 19 July Rodney Local Board meeting, members indicating they would not be pursuing construction of the footpath further.

11. At the its meeting on 19 July 2018 the Rodney Local Board resolved to (RD/2018/87):

a) allocate up to $500,000 from its Local Board Transport Capital Fund towards the preparation of detailed designs and firm cost estimates for construction of the following footpaths:

i) Dairy Flat Highway, Dairy Flat, from number 1236 to number 1216 Diary Flat Highway, outside the school.

ii) State Highway 1, Wellsford, from the South end of the residential zone to Centennial Park Road, including a footpath on the bridge.

iii) Albert Road, Warkworth, from Lyttle Lane to Hudson Road.

iv) Falls Road, Warkworth, from Hudson Road to the Mansel Drive Extension.

v) Hudson Road, Warkworth, the entire length.

vi) Alice Street, Riverhead, entire length.

vii) Springs Road, Parakai, north side, from number 33 to the wharf end of the road.

b) request that Auckland Transport staff report back to a workshop of the Rodney Local Board’s Transport, Infrastructure and Environment Committee with an indication of the potential cost to construct the footpaths listed in resolution a) above, together with an indication of the potential cost to construct the following footpaths:

i) Blue Gum Drive, Warkworth;

ii) Arthur Street, Riverhead

iii) Mahurangi East Road, Snells Beach; and

iv) Hill Street, Warkworth.

c) delegate to the chairperson of the Rodney Local Board’s Transport, Infrastructure and Environment Committee the decision as to which of the footpaths listed in resolution a) above will be constructed, using the remaining funds available to the local board in its Local Board Transport Capital Fund to 30 June 2020.

d) request that Auckland Transport work with the Community Facilities department in consultation with the Omaha Beach Golf Club Inc to design and cost a pathway along Omaha Drive in the reserve area currently leased for the golf course, taking into account the current feasibility work being undertaken for this route by Community Facilities – Investigation and Design, including a connection to the road reserve at the southern end and departures from ATCOP standards where necessary in order to reduce the cost and reflect that the path Is to be built in reserve.

12. Each of the roads was assessed for safety concerns, most appropriate side of the road for a path, kerbing needs, stormwater requirements, retaining requirements, possible lighting needs and other ancillary issues relative to each individual site, such as planned development works. The findings were discussed at a Transport, Infrastructure and Environment Committee workshop on 4 October.

Rodney Local Board Transport Targeted Rate Update

13. At its meeting on 20 September the Rodney Local Board resolved to use its targeted rate to investigate, design and implement bus routes from Wellsford to Warkworth and from Helensville to Silverdale via Kaukapakapa.

14. A workshop to discuss the proposed timetables, routes and costings for these two services was held on Friday, 5 October. The local board’s transport targeted rate project lead, Member Pirrie, accepted the proposed frequency for the services and draft timetables, noting that the performance of the Wellsford to Warkworth service would be monitored over the first few months with a view to increasing its frequency if necessary.

15. Following further discussions with the bus operators, details of both services, including: timetables, bus routes and the location of stops, will be shared with the public, with the intention that the services be implemented during Februrary 2019.

16. For the 2018/2019 financial year, the actual amount invoiced for the Rodney Local Board Transport Targeted Rate is $4.17 million. This is $0.24 million higher than budgeted due to higher than anticipated growth in rateable properties in the Rodney Local Board area. However, while this is the amount invoiced, the final amount available to spend is expected to be lower at the end of the financial year due to data corrections and adjustments.

17. In terms of the amount spent during the first quarter of the 2018/2019 financial year, significant costs have yet to come through against identified projects and we will expect to see more of these costs coming through in the next quarter and subsequent report.

Matakana Link Road

18. A major new road is to be built in the Warkworth area with some funding from the Regional Fuel Tax.

19. AT has announced plans for the $62 million Matakana Link Road, which will improve connections between Matakana Road and State Highway One, and help decongest the Warkworth area. The project is made possible by the regional fuel tax.

20. Matakana Link Road will be built in two stages, Stage I being two traffic lanes and a shared path for walking and cycling, and Stage II constructed when traffic demand meets capacity. At that point, the road will be widened to four lanes with a separated path on each side for walking and cycling. AT will be future proofing by buying land to meet the requirements for the full four-lane design. The 1.4 km long road will be a 50 km/hr urban arterial route.

21. The work is scheduled to start late in 2019 and will be timed to coincide with the Puhoi to Warkworth project to extend the four-lane Northern Motorway (SH1) 18.5km from the Johnstones Hill tunnels to just north of Warkworth.

22. The Matakana Link Road is one of the first priority projects identified by the Supporting Growth Programme, a collaboration between the NZ Transport Agency (NZTA), AT and Auckland Council, which aims to investigate and plan the transport network and support Auckland’s urban growth over the next 30 years. The joint planning programme will support the initial development of growth areas in Warkworth, north, northwest and south Auckland.

23. Since 2015, NZTA, AT and Auckland Council have been working to identify the preferred transport network to support growth. Early projects such as Matakana Link Road have already been progressing through business cases and consenting. Last month the Minister and Mayor announced a new alliance to begin planning the rest of the long-term network, and collectively guide the process of transport investment and route protection.

24. Early estimates for the cost of transport improvements over the next 30 years to support the growth areas are approximately $8bn-$10bn, with funding from both public and some private sources.

25. Further information about the Matakana Link Road project can be found at: https://at.govt.nz/projects-roadworks/matakana-link-road/

Monowai Road Seal Extension

26. Monowai Road, which is approximately 3.9km long, is being sealed under AT’s seal extension programme.

27. The project is being delivered in two stages, Stage I starting at the southern end and extending approximately 3,400m, with the final 400m being delivered under Stage II.

28. The reason for staging the work is that Stage 2 requires significant engineering solutions due to its narrow width and steep batters. The contract for Stage 1 of the project was therefore awarded whilst design work continued for Stage 2.

29. Stage 1 is is expected to be completed by the end of October 2018. Activities completed or nearing completion are earthworks, stormwater drainage, subsoil drainage, road widening and retaining structures, including gabion baskets and timber walls. Work yet to be completed includes the installation of guardrails and sight rails.

30. The pictures below were taken in May and show work underway:

Auckland’s New Network and New bus services for Warkworth and the Kowhai Coast

31. Over the past two years, new bus networks have been rolled out in Auckland's south, west, east and central suburbs, leading to significant increases in patronage. The final piece of Auckland's new bus network was put in place on the North Shore on Sunday 30 September and included new services for Warkworth and the Kowhai Coast.

32. The New Network is a simpler bus network with more frequent services, particularly between 7am-7pm. Services are also better connected.

33. Changes relevant to the Rodney Local Board area are:

Warkworth and the Kowhai Coast

· A brand new bus network from Sunday 30 September

· Two new local services replacing the Kowhai Connection, with the 996 connecting Algies Bay, Snells Beach and Warkworth, and the 997 connecting Point Wells, Omaha, Matakana and Warkworth

· A third new service will provide a connection between Warkworth and Hibiscus Coast Station in Silverdale – the 995

· Services will run seven days a week

· The new bus network will not serve Whangateau, due to the small number of passengers travelling to and from here on the existing Kowhai Connection.

Hibiscus Coast

· There will be significant changes to bus timetables from Sunday 30 September

· The 981 (Waiwera, Orewa, Hibiscus Coast Station) and the 982 (Gulf Harbour, Manly, The Plaza, Hibiscus Coast Station) will run more frequently at peak times

· The Northern Express will be given a new route number (the NX1) and will run more frequently at peak times

· The 991x and 992x City Centre expresses will no longer operate. Removing these services enables AT to run more frequent local services, making the bus a better option for more people

· Minor changes are also being made to the timetables for the 983, 984, 985, 986, 987 and 988 services.

North Shore

· Almost everything about the North Shore bus network will change from Sunday 30 September

· There will be new bus routes, new route numbers and new timetables. There will be new bus stops, while some existing bus stops will close.

Other Auckland Transport News

Albany Station Park and Ride Extension

34. Albany bus station has a large existing park and ride facility of approximately 1100 spaces to the north of the bus station. The site is leased by AT from NZTA and has a small undeveloped area on its southern side.

35. There is significant parking spillage around the bus station, with an estimated 32% of morning peak arrivals parking on the street or road berm. This has negatively affected the streetscape and other public infrastructure around the bus station.

36. NZTA’s Northern Corridor Improvement recommended that an additional 700 parking bays be provided near Albany Station by 2026.

37. Initially, AT proposes to extend the Albany park and ride to provide approximately 135 additional at-grade parking spaces at the undeveloped site to the south of the bus station at 125 McClymonts Road. It is anticipated that this at-grade car park will be completed in late 2018 and may be the ground floor of a multi-storey parking building when future funding is confirmed.

38. The location of the proposed site is shown in the plan below:

39. The car park will connect to the existing bus station through a new pedestrian crossing across the bus lanes and the current drop-off and pick-up area. Accessible parking spaces will be accommodated in the existing car park.

40. A rain garden will be constructed at the northern end of the site to provide treatment for the stormwater discharged from the parking area.

41. Construction is expected to take place from mid-August with completion anticipated in October/November, thought this will be subject to the selected contractor’s programme and dependent on the weather.

Auckland’s twelve new red light safety cameras

42. Enforcement of six new red light safety cameras, which were delivered to Auckland and installed in late 2017, began on 24 June. A further six new red light safety cameras began operating from 1 October. The cameras are owned and maintained by AT and the NZ Police is responsible for their enforcement.

43. Thirty-eight more cameras will add to these twelve cameras over the next ten years in a concerted effort to bring down Auckland’s road toll, which has increased by over 70 per cent in the last three years. Overall, signalised intersection injury crashes have been trending upwards since 2012. In Auckland, between 2012 and 2017, there were 92 fatal and serious injury crashes due to red light running.

44. The twelve new cameras are located at the following intersections:

· Lincoln Road / Swanson Road;

· Lincoln Road / Te Pai Place;

· Albany Highway / Oteha Valley Road;

· Great North Road / Karangahape Road;

· Blockhouse Bay Road / New North Road;

· Esmonde Road / Fred Thomas Drive;

· Great South Road and Cavendish Drive – two sites;

· Te Irirangi Drive and Accent Drive – two sites;

· Great North Road and Rata Street; and

· Great South Road and Reagan Road.

AT’s Annual Report

45. AT has released its Annual Report that shows how the organisation has performed in 2017/18 against its Statement of Intent.

46. Some of the highlights from the 2017/18 year include opening the 3.4km Waterview Shared Path, launching the east and central new bus networks, opening the new $39 million Manukau Bus Station, launching two electric buses on the City Link service and opening the upgraded $16m Pukekohe bus and train station.

47. The updated Auckland Transport Alignment Project (ATAP) was also signed in 2017/2018, committing to a $28 billion investment in the transport network in partnership with the Government and Auckland Council.

48. Public transport has been a key focus of AT, and in the past year patronage has risen 4.4 percent. There were 92.3 million trips made on public transport in the 2017/18 year. Walking and cycling infrastructure was also a priority, with 38% of Aucklanders now riding a bike. Another highlight is the Whangaparaoa Road dynamic lane trial that helps commuters get to work and back home faster by transforming the median strip to another traffic lane in the morning and afternoon. This increases the road’s capacity and reduces congestion during peak times.

49. Moving forward into next year, reducing death and serious injury is the number one priority. AT will need the support of many agencies and every Aucklander to deliver on the Vision Zero principle that no death on the road network is acceptable. AT staff are committed to making the entire road network safe by moving towards a Vision Zero approach, making Auckland’s infrastructure safe for everyone, and recognising that we can make mistakes behind the wheel.

12. The applicant’s preferred name for road 2 is Arthur Barnes Road. This was suggested by representatives of the Kumeu Historic Society. The Barnes family arrived in Kumeu in the 1880’s and owned the land both sides of the railway. One side is under development now and the other side is 13 hectares of industrial land.

In this regard it is noted that ‘Damon Johns’ is the only full name proposed. Aside from the matter of living persons, the other proposed names are deemed to meet the council’s guidelines and the officer’s recommendation is that the Board selects names from the above table

6. A condition of the subdivision consent was to suggest to council names for the new roads.

8. Auckland Council’s road naming criteria typically require that road names reflect:

· A historical or ancestral linkage to an area;

· A particular landscape, environment or biodiversity theme or feature; or

· An existing (or introduced) thematic identity in the area.

· The use of Māori names is actively encouraged.

9. The applicant has submitted the following names for approval.

*Preferred Name*	*Meaning*
Ahutoetoe Road	The name given by Māori (Toetoe covering the hill) for the ridgeline from Aaran Point to Sidwell Road and beyond.
Pampas Drive	The English name for the Toetoe grass that follows this ridgeline.
Maurice Kelly Road	The Irishman (Maurice Kelly) who had a colourful past and put the Wade Hotel on the map.
Walsh Road	One of the sawyer gang that felled timber in the Weiti/Wainui catchment.
Archibald Drive	As above one of the sawyer gang

10. Historical information has been sought and collated with the aid of Munuhiri Kaitiaki Charitable Trust representing iwi, and Robin Grover of the Wainui Historical Society.

11. The area is in an undulating valley between the Orewa and Weiti Rivers that was once covered in dense forest, milled extensively, then cleared for orchards and dairy farming.

12. A large part of its early history centred on the sawyer gangs whose presence generated sufficient activity to form a trading post, the Wade, benefiting from river access and close proximity to a growing Auckland. It is in this activity that Milldale finds its roots, drawing upon significant individuals, their families and activities for road names.

13. Land Information New Zealand has confirmed that the road names are unique and acceptable for the area north of the Auckland Harbour Bridge, although some similar names occur in some southern suburbs of Auckland. It is considered in this case that being in separate suburbs and the significant distance apart, and also the use of different road types, ensures that there will be no confusion.

14. The applicant has supplied an overview and background for road naming in the Milldale subdivision at the August local board meeting.

15. The proposed names are deemed to meet the council’s road naming guidelines and the officer’s recommendation is to approve the proposed names
