Flashback Saturday: Visualising the Impact of the CRL
This post originally appeared in May 2012.
Yesterday I posed the question of which piece of transport infrastructure carried the most people during the morning peak. The answer is that at the moment they both carry about the same number of people, the difference of course is that the Britomart tunnel has the ability in the future to carry many many more people in the same amount of space as I intend to show you shortly.…
37 Comments Unlocking Henderson
On Tuesday the Council’s Planning Committee approved Panuku’s “High Level Project Plan” for Henderson. Unlike Onehunga which falls into Panuku’s Transform category, Henderson sits under the Unlock which means they will act as a facilitator to creating development opportunities. Panuku are building on the the work started by the former WCC and have created a vision for Henderson to become an “Urban Eco Centre, enhancing the mauri of the twin streams of Wai o Panuku and Wai Horotiu”
The project was brought forward in priority after Auckland Transport confirmed they were moving out of the former Waitakere City Council (WCC) building but there are a number of other reasons Henderson makes a good location to focus on.…
ATAP Cost Details
Back in December, I posted the response from the NZTA regarding a breakdown of CAPEX costs for each intervention. However, over $13b of the costings was just put as other. I now have the breakdown of the other costings from the NZTA.…
May-17 AT Board Meeting
On Tuesday, the Auckland Transport hold their next board meeting, the first with their new directors. Their board reports are usually full of interesting information so always, I’ve gone and pulled out some of the things that stood out to me in the reports available.…
Taking the CFN2 to the council
Yesterday I presented our Congestion Free Network 2 to the council’s planning committee. You can see a copy of my presentation here (2.7MB). Given there is only meant to be around five minutes allocated for speaking, I had to make the presentation fairly short so didn’t go into the issues in the depth we would in a blog post or if time wasn’t so critical.…
Transforming Onehunga
In March the Council’s Planning Committee approved Panuku’s “High Level Project Plan” for Onehunga. This plan will guide the long-term strategy, vision and goals for Panuku’s work in transforming Onehunga into a major growth centre for Auckland.
Onehunga is one of the areas Council directed Panuku to have a particularly strong focus on, alongside continuing the development of Wynyard Quarter and also transforming Manukau.…
Why aren’t we building the NW Busway?
In just 39 days, on June 11, Auckland Transport will roll out the new bus network for West Auckland. From a quick look, most of the network confirmed over two years ago remains the same, although there do seem to be a few changes, mainly to do with the peak services.…
Albany Parking Scheme – why not the Park n Ride too
On Friday, Auckland Transport announced consultation for a paid parking scheme in Albany.
Auckland Transport (AT) is looking at a paid parking zone for the Albany town centre meaning more parking for short-term visits.
The proposal includes a charge of $1.00 an hour, from 8am to 6pm, Monday to Friday, with no time limit on how long you can park.…
Michael Barnett embarrassingly bad on funding gap
Last week the NZ Herald ran an opinion piece by Michael Barnett, the Chief Executive of the Auckland Chamber of Commerce. It focused on options for addressing Auckland’s $4 billion funding gap. However, the article really didn’t add a lot of value and – more than anything else – seemed to highlight Barnett’s poor understanding of how the Council’s finances work.…
