MOVED by Chairman S Milne, seconded by Deputy Chairman S
Powrie:
That
the Ōrākei Local Board:
a)
receive the following
Auckland Transport reports for November 2020 as listed below:
i) Auckland
Transport November 2020 monthly update report
ii) Allocation
of Local Board Transport Capital Fund.
b)
allocate $50,000 from the local board
transport capital fund to warning signage and gateway treatment outside
Churchill Park School, on Riddell Road.
c)
allocate $30,000 to streetscape enhancements
in the Meadowbank retail area on Meadowbank Road subject to confirmation that
the maintenance of any planting can be managed.
d)
allocate the remainder of the local board
transport capital fund ($30,322) to bus shelters in the Ōrākei
Local Board area with preference given to these sites:
i) 619
Remuera Road (Stop 7425)
ii) Remuera
Road/Ascot Avenue (Stop 7417)
iii) 81
St Heliers Bay Road (Stop 7398).
e)
acknowledge that there is
a need within the Auckland Council family to constantly review and make the
most efficient use of its assets particularly in this time of significant
financial difficulties.
f)
note that Auckland
Transport is presently clearing its storage area at St Johns Road, which
contains a small number of disused and surplus bus shelters.
g)
request Auckland Transport
to investigate and report back on the feasibility of refurbishing and reusing
the surplus bus shelters located at St Johns Road as a way of meeting the
need for further bus shelters within the Ōrākei Local Board area.
h)
request Auckland Transport
to provide the Board with the scheme design for the Ōrākei School
new road crossing.
i)
request Auckland Transport
to report back on how it will deliver on the Safety and Health critical
challenge identified in the Auckland Freight Plan Summary Report, September
2020 that ‘the movement of freight within Auckland must be free of
death and serious injuries (DSI) and contribute towards improved health
outcomes’ particularly in reference to the potential and
significant safety issues previously raised by the Board such as the
increasing potential danger to pedestrians and cyclists due to heavy truck
and trailer container vehicle movement on residential routes in the local
board area.
j)
therefore, reiterate its
previous requests to Auckland Transport relating to left hand turn restrictions
of heavy freight vehicles from Solent Street into Tāmaki Drive and request an urgent response from Auckland Transport on
the below resolution from its meeting held on 16 May 2019:
Resolution
number OR/2019/83
c) inform Auckland Transport that its response to
the Board’s request to enforce the present bylaw restrictions, and to
enact urgently a new bylaw reinstating the left turn ban at the Solent
Street/Tamaki Drive intersection does not adequately address the nub of the
Ōrākei Local Board's and community's concerns, namely safety and
heavy vehicles, as expressed in the Board's resolution of 18 October 2018,
and therefore;
i) request Auckland Transport to consider
requesting a change to the road classification and to inform the Board of its
decision and if Auckland Transport does not wish to do this, the reasons for
not doing so.
ii) request Auckland Transport ensure enforcement
of the current no left turn restriction on heavy freight vehicles from Solent
Street into Tāmaki Drive.
