number FR/2020/129
MOVED by Member M Murphy, seconded by Member A Cole:
That
the Franklin Local Board:
a)
receive the
Auckland Transport report for December 2020.
b)
request that Auckland
Transport assess the road safety of the public road section of the Hūnua
Trail with a focus on Otau Mountain Road, McNicol Road and Clevedon-Kawakawa
Bay Road, noting an anticipated increase in use by vulnerable users from
February 2021, and return to the board with options for immediate and longer
term safety improvements
c)
provide the
following feedback on the proposed Unsealed Road Improvement Framework:
i)
support in
principle a new approach to improving the unsealed road network whereby
different treatment options aligned to the specific problems with unsealed
roads will be progressed with a view to improving the performance of the
road, impact on the environment and reducing long-term operational
maintenance costs
ii)
support in
principle the new proposed two step assessment and response prioritisation
methodology
iii) note
that it is critical that local board priorities, policies and projects are
actively sought and referenced in the assessment process ,noting that
Auckland Transport does not always have oversight of relevant local factors
that may inform an optimum outcome e.g. environmental or tourism priorities
and projects that may affect or be affected by road use and function
iv) support the allocation of funding to each
treatment type on the basis that this will enable a range of issues to be
addressed
v) note and support the range of
specific treatment options proposed, specifically:
A)
road widening
B)
safety improvements
C)
pavement
strengthening
D)
surface
improvements
E)
seal extension
F)
dust suppressant
G)
maintenance seal
H)
environment seal
I)
blended materials
J)
grading, active
speed management and maintenance improvements
vi) note that the unsealed
road assessment process should prioritise roads that are or will cater to
vulnerable users, including cyclists and pedestrians, e.g. roads leading to
popular parks and beaches.
