Resolution
number PKTPP/2024/125
MOVED by Chairperson
E Kumar, seconded by Member M Pervan:
That
the Puketāpapa Local Board:
a)
provide views on
the Draft Regional Land Transport Plan 2024-2034 using the template in
Attachment A to this report.
Support
b)
support the five
focus areas that have been identified as the most important challenges.
c)
request support for
priority growth areas identified in the Auckland Housing Programme such as Mt
Roskill as an existing suburb in the central isthmus area where high
intensification is occurring, without necessary transport systems in place
equipped to manage this growth and that allow people to move around
communities easily will create major problems.
d)
support productivity
as the most important priority and note that the Puketāpapa community
support “fast and connected” as the most important priority.
e)
support the
following ranked transport improvements in order of importance:
1: Local
road improvements
2: Public
transport improvements
3: Walking
and cycling improvements
4: State
highway improvements
5: Safety
improvements
Advocacy
f)
request the
Dominion Road and Denbigh Avenue intersection be considered a high priority
for investment due to the current configuration being insufficient as an
arterial road between the city centre and the airport in addition to needing
to better support the high number of active modes of transport being used to
pass through this intersection. This is a high-use pedestrian area with the
Roskill Schools campus (a school role of staff and students of approx. 5000)
nearby, as well as being adjacent to the southwestern motorway offramp and
with main bus routes and cyclists passing through this intersection.
g)
request more
investment into improving and maintaining a safe walking environment for
pedestrians that includes footpath repairs and upgrades such as fixing
potholes, cracks, deterioration and uneven surfaces.
h)
request that the
Avondale to Southdown train line project be accelerated to occur within the
next decade.
AT engagement with local boards
i)
seek improved
engagement with local boards, which reflects its governance role and supports
its role in representing the views of local communities e.g. early advice of
planned works.
j)
seek that
engagement with local boards is fully aligned with their Auckland Transport
Kokiri Agreements, which reflects the appropriate level of engagement on the
IAP2 engagement spectrum.
AT engagement with communities
k)
request timely
engagement with communities and a response from AT that makes clear that
community feedback has been considered and, where necessary, plans have been
adjusted to respond to feedback.
l)
request, for major
projects, early consultation and planning for the mitigation of disruptive
impacts. Noting that funding for mitigation needs to be integrated within
project costs.
m)
note the boards
appreciation to the Puketāpapa community for the RLTP submissions
