0 Comments Congestion Free Network in the Herald
Our good friend Sudhvir had a great op-ed published in the Herald this morning about the Congestion Free Network.
Auckland’s transport plan provides us with a once-in-a-generation choice between two competing visions: to keep pursuing the failed model of motorway-driven sprawl, or to develop a quality, compact city with a balanced transport system.…
The CFN: Build It And They Will Come
It is generally accepted that Auckland is a growing little city with a lot of potential. It is also generally accepted that it has a transport problem. Mostly this is experienced by people when driving, as the problem of congestion. There is also a problem for anyone who wishes to get around without driving (and therefore not take part in nor contribute to that congestion), because by most standards, the options for doing so are seriously limited for a city of Auckland’s size and ambition.…

Congestion Free Network Clarifications
Our Congestion Free Network (CFN) proposal still seems to be the talk of the town, and media interest in the network continues to grow (keep an eye on Campbell Live next week). However, there do seem to be a few misunderstandings of what the network is and isn’t, what it will or won’t do, what it might or might not cost.…
Rudman on the Congestion Free Network
There was a great article yesterday by Brian Rudman in the NZ Herald – and not just because it seems that he’s a fan of the Congestion Free Network. He starts off by arguing that the year of work and the $1 million+ spent on the Auckland transport funding Consensus Building Group has actually achieved relatively little:
What an egregious waste of $1 million of ratepayers’ money that was.…
Funding agreement doesn’t solve real issue
Earlier this year a group set up to gain cross spectrum consensus on how to fund the councils wish list of mostly road projects put out a discussion document on its preferred options and sought feedback from the public on its preferences.…
Congestion Free Network: Where To From Here?
I think I speak for everyone on the blog by saying that the response to the Congestion Free Network has been beyond our wildest dreams. On Tuesday there were over 11,000 views of the blog – a new record eclipsing the day the government finally decided they could no longer oppose the City Rail Link.…
The Congestion Free Network doesn’t mean no roading projects
Since the launch of our Congestion Free Network and how much it will cost we have had a few questions around what it means for the funding of improved roads. To try and clarify, we are not against funding going towards road improvements and our estimated budget for The Congestion Free Network is just over 40% of what is currently planned to be spent on transport over the same time frame.…
How much The Congestion Free Network will cost
Yesterday we showed you our vision for the Congestion Free Network – and wow what an excellent response – so today I’m going to talk about the boring stuff like how much it will cost. Before I get into that though, one of our goals in designing the congestion free network has been to keep spending at the same level, or less, than is currently planned.…
