Auckland Transport Update - November 2020

|
Caroline

this item.
|
|
|
Resolution
number WTK/2020/142
MOVED by Member M Clayton, seconded by Member S Coney:
That
the Waitākere Ranges Local Board:
a)
receive the Auckland Transport
November 2020 monthly update report.
b)
thank Auckland Transport for
its recent release of an interactive map showing the location of serious
crashes across Auckland over the past five years (2015-2020), including many
in the Waitākere Ranges area.
c)
recommend the Governing Body
and Auckland Transport commit to accelerating investment in transport safety
through the review of the 10-year budget and associated Regional Land
Transport Plan to achieve the ‘Vision Zero’ goal (no deaths or
serious injuries in our transport system by 2050), as increasing safety for
walking and cycling needs to be a high priority.
d)
ask that Auckland Transport
commit to funding and delivering safety projects put on hold in the Waitākere
Ranges area through the emergency budget changes, in particular the two
pedestrian crossings in Glengarry Road and pedestrian crossings around Konini
School.
e)
note there have been at least eight
serious crashes, including one fatal crash, in Glengarry Road over the past
five years and ask that Auckland Transport urgently investigate and report
back to the local board on the range of options (big and small) for improving
road safety in Glengarry Road, as the street design is outdated, does not
reflect its current use, and needs to be modernised to make it safe.
f)
highlights the serious
concerns in the community – shared by the local board – about the
safety of several roads in the Waitākere Ranges area including Candia
Road, Shaw Road and Piha Road. A safety assessment and plan of action is urgently
needed.
g)
note that at the Board’s
May 2020 meeting it was advised “there is currently $1,505,453 left in
the Board’s Local Board Transport Capital Fund (LBTCF) from the
previous political term. The amount allocated for 2019 – 2022 is $2,019,339.
A total of $3,524,792 is available.”
