AGENDA FOR A HEARING OF THE AUCKLAND TRANSPORT HEARING PANEL, TO BE HELD IN THE CHAMBER LEVEL TWO, 6 HENDERSON VALLEY ROAD,

HENDERSON, AUCKLAND ON MONDAY, 16 APRIL 2012 COMMENCING AT 9.00 AM

1. DRAFT AUCKLAND REGIONAL LAND TRANSPORT PROGRAMME: HEARINGS REPORT Introduction

Submissions on the Draft 2012-2015 Auckland Land Transport Programme (RLTP) closed on 23 March 2012. A total of 930 submissions were received. In addition, approximately 1,600 submissions were received on the transport section of the Auckland Council Long Term Plan (LTP). Some of these submissions relate to matters that are relevant to the RLTP. 156 submitters have indicated a wish to speak to their submissions at the RLTP Hearings, which have been set down for five days, commencing on Monday, 16 April 2012. The Hearings schedule is attached at pages 48 to 52. This report summarises the main points raised by the submitters that are due to appear at the hearings, in the order of appearance Copies of the written submissions from all submitters, including those that wish to be heard, are provided under separate cover. A further report summarising the issues raised by all submitters and officers‟ initial responses to the matters raised is currently under preparation. This report will be available prior to the Hearings Committee deliberations at the conclusion of the hearings. The responses and any recommended changes to the Draft RLTP will be finalised after the hearings, and form the basis of a report on submissions to the Auckland Transport Board. Regional Land Transport Programme Submissions: Key Themes

This paper sets out some of the key themes that have emerged in submissions to the Draft Regional Land Transport Programme (RLTP). Over 900 submissions were received in total. A more detailed paper summarising the submissions and recommended responses is under preparation. Some submitters were concerned at a lack of alignment between the RLTP, the Auckland Plan and the LTP. This appears to be at two levels:

Funding allocations (in both the LTP and RLTP) that do not reflect the transformational shifts and targets identified as priorities in the Auckland Plan. This is particularly the case in relation to what some submitters saw as a “business as usual” approach to PT and walking and cycling funding.

Notwithstanding the draft RLTP‟s support for the CRL, rail electrification, integrated ticketing and other PT infrastructure projects, a number of submitters considered the

Hearing Draft Regional Land Transport Programme 2012-2015

Page 3 of 52

amount of funds allocated to PT (especially operating expenditure) to be insufficient to achieve the shift in patronage envisaged in the Auckland Plan.

The allocation for walking and cycling infrastructure was also criticised by a large number of submitters as being insufficient to achieve the increases in the use of active modes. Several criticised the adherence to the Ministry of Transport‟s 0.8% budget guideline, and noted that this did not enable walking and cycling investments needed to reflect the ambitions for Auckland to become the world‟s most liveable city. 169 submitters commented on walking and cycling, most calling for a higher level of expenditure.

At a more detailed level, some submitters identified lack of alignment between the funding allocations and timing of specific projects in the LTP and RLTP, and signalled the potential for the spending of AT, the Council and other agencies to be better

aligned.

Strong support was expressed from submitters for the “one network” approach.

A large number of submitters called for the priority for specific projects to be increased; or for additional projects to be included in the RLTP. In some cases (but by no means all), this was accompanied by suggestions for projects that should have a correspondingly lower priority.

Local boards want to see a greater amount of detail on the projects proposed in their areas. They are unclear on the extent to which local board plans have been reflected in the RLTP funding allocations. They also seek more detail on the level of subsidised and unsubsidised work in their areas.

Responses to the major projects listed in section 5.1 of the Draft RLTP were as follows:

Rail electrification (49 submissions): most of the submitters on this subject were supportive of the funding allocation to electrification. Some support was noted for extension of electrification to Pukekohe at an early stage.

CRL (177 submissions): the CRL attracted large number of comments, both positive and negative. Supporters feel that it is an essential component in improving the region‟s PT system, but opponents were concerned about the cost, especially given the apparent lack of Government support. There was concern that the level of funds required could “crowd out” other necessary projects.

Western ring route (16 submissions): submitters were generally in favour of completion of the western ring route.

AMETI (45 submissions): While submissions that commented on AMETI were generally supportive of the project, some concerns were expressed about elements of the project. A number of submitters felt that the focus should be on PT improvements, and the need for some of the road components was questioned. Comments were also received on the potential extension of the AMETI project to encompass an east-west connection through to SH20.


Page 4 of 52

Dominion Road (8 submissions): generally supported, but some suggestions for modifications to elements of the project.

Tiverton/Wolverton (8 submissions): generally supported

Albany Highway (9 submissions): submitters were supportive of the project, but critical of the proposed 5 year construction timeframe. A shorter implementation period was recommended, to alleviate concerns over safety and disruption, especially for schools in the area.

Redoubt Rd/Mill Rd (6 submissions): submitters generally supported this project, but comments were made in relation to timing, to coincide with development in the area.

Other significant themes to emerge included:

Integrated ticketing/AIFS (51 submissions): seen as a high priority by most, but some concerns at the high cost and implementation problems associated with HOP to date.

Rail to the airport (44 submissions): Majority support amongst those that submitted on this issue; opponents raised concerns over cost and justification at this time.

Waitemata Harbour Crossing (69 submissions): submissions on this subject generally favoured a continuation of planning and route protection for an additional harbour crossing, with preference expressed for a tunnel. Some submissions expressed concern at the cost of a new crossing, and there was some concern (mainly from local communities) about the location of the crossing.

Public transport network planning (250 submissions): a large number of submissions addressed issues to do with public transport services, often requesting specific improvements or adjustments to services in local areas.

The Auckland Harbour Bridge Pathway project received a strong level of support, with submitters concerned that it was not included in the Draft. Completion of the regional cycle network also received strong support.

Integration of land use and transport: This was generally supported as a priority, but some submitters pointed to projects that did not appear to be consistent with the concept. For example, a number of submitters referred to the need for the development of a new station and park and ride facility at Walters Road, adjacent to the town centre, rather than an upgrade of the existing Takanini Station.

City centre focus: A number of submissions, generally from outer areas, were critical of the focus of transport expenditure on the city centre. Submitters noted that a relatively small proportion of trips are focused on the CBD, and that there was a need to ensure that transport issues elsewhere in Auckland were adequately addressed, and not “crowded out” by funding for major city centre projects (especially the CRL).

Seal extensions: a number of submitters from rural areas expressed concern at the limited budget available for seal extensions, which is not considered adequate to achieve a reasonable programme of work.

Submitters to be heard: summary of key points The key points from the written submissions of those wishing to be heard are summarised below, in order of appearance. Because the Draft RLTP was released for public comment alongside the Auckland Council LTP, a number of submitters have commented on transport issues as part of a submission on LTP. In other cases, submissions to the RLTP have raised issues that are more appropriately addressed as part of the LTP consultation process. Officers have attempted to ensure that the matters that are dealt with by the RLTP are relevant to that document, but inevitably there is some overlap, especially in matters relating to funding allocations and prioritisation. MONDAY, 16 APRIL 2012 9:00 - Brendon Cullen

Amount proposed for road seal extensions across the region is pathetic, at only around $500,000 p.a.

Request budget increased to similar levels to those that existed for seal extensions prior to amalgamation.

A greater proportion of funds should be spent on footpaths and roads compared to PT.

Large plans for rail and PT should not eat up so much of the budget for transport.

9:10 - Friends of the Whau Inc (Gilbert Brakey)

Provision for more green infrastructure network incorporating walkways and cycleways and associated ecological restoration. Attached plan for proposed Whau West Greenway.

Strongly agree with greater investment in walkway & cycling infrastructure. 9:30 – Silverdale Commercial Ratepayers, (Lorraine Sampson)

Need more frequent buses, and smaller buses going around the local area - link to larger buses to the city.

More local consultation to where footpaths are laid.

Traffic lights haven‟t been used although community sees this as highest priority.

Footpath along Hibiscus Coast Highway Wap Road to Silverdale village.

AT take zero notice of community wishes.

9:40 – Vladimir Koutasaenko

Would like to see Whau river crossing bridge, toll road as an option. There is a proposed regional cycle network connection over the river but no bridge to put it on.


Page 6 of 52

9:50 - Chris Freke

Provide for some additional discretionary reactive funding for land purchase and Council/Auckland Transport‟s 'share' of development.

Refer in programme to the ability to bring forward some project expenditure where it is desirable for it to be applied at the time of development or subdivision of adjoining land.

Develop processes and authorities to enable decisions around such commitments to be quickly made in conjunction with the consenting or development processes applying to development or subdivision.

Amend Appendix 3 to acknowledge there will be occasions when reactive funding is required in order to ensure that appropriate transport infrastructure is provided at the time of development or subdivision.

10:00 - Generation Zero (Kirk Serpes)

Generation Zero has vision for carbon neutral NZ before 2050.

Creating a smart transport network for Auckland is critical and deserves to be treated as a priority for funding.

Reduction of GHG emissions must be explicitly noted in statement of priorities; Auckland Plan target is not mentioned. Should be added as a priority focus area.

Would like to see a 50/50 funding split, giving approximately equal support to public and active transport as to roading projects. This calls for funding on new roads to be redirected to PT, walking and cycling.

Support design and construction of CRL. In contrast, spending on state highways (e.g. Puhoi to Wellsford) is poorly justified.

Support continued investment in electrification of rail network, and completion of SH20 Waterview.

Explicitly against some projects and would like to see abandoned: Puhoi to Wellsford motorway, additional Waitemata Harbour crossing (investigation), routes for HPMV.

Projects endorsed which are not listed in RLTP:

o extension of NW cycleway through the Learning Quarter to Tamaki Drive;

o Investigation and designation of busway on SH16;

o Investigation and designation of dedicated cycle and pedestrian lanes on Harbour bridge;

o Extension of electrification to Pukekohe; and

o Transport greenhouse gas emissions reductions study.

10:10 - Great Barrier Island Local Board, (Paul Downie)

Ask that the funding for projects and activities agreed between our Board and the Council Governing Body should be tagged and subject only to minimal change by AT. The current “double submission” process is cumbersome and will need to be reviewed.

Ask that the following projects from Board‟s Local Board Plan be included in the RLTP:


Page 7 of 52

o Road seal programme: Aotea Road, Puriri Bay Road, Whangaparapara Road, Kaiaraara Bay Road;

o Infrastructure/local road formation/completion: Jenny‟s Road;

o Wharves: carry forward funds for Shoal bay wharf development from current year to 2012/13, and fund stages 2 and 3 in following consecutive years;

o Airports: Great Barrier‟s 2 airports should be owned and managed by Auckland Transport‟ include budget provision in 2012/13 for sealing of Okiwi airfield (est $1.8m); and

o Include ferry travel to and from Great Barrier Island in the Gold Card Travel Scheme.

Concern that central city projects will make waterfront progressively less suitable for vehicular, passenger and freight ferry services. Request AT to provide a long term plan for security of maintaining vehicular, passenger, freight and visitor traffic.

10:30 - Keith Salmon

Improved PT networks are essential to reducing congestion and allowing key services to move at reasonable speed. Inner city rail loop must proceed.

Strongly support improvements to cycling and walking facilities complemented by good PT.

Support walkway/cycleway board walk along waterfront and across Harbour Bridge.

Support local walking and cycling initiatives to transport nodes. Support greenways.

11:00 – Rodney Sullivan

CRL will not reduce congestion. It goes from nowhere to nowhere. Cost with overruns too expensive.

Stop spending on CRL.

Make HOP a requirement to receive transport subsidy. Do not subsidise the cost.

All this plan increases expenses and costs. Where is the plan for expenditure reduction and cost control?

11:10 - Glenys Ferguson

It is crucial that Penlink is built on the Hibiscus Coast.

Disagree with investment in walking and cycle infrastructure. 11:20 - Engineers for Social Responsibility (Neil Mander)

Supports emphasis on improving PT, facilitating and encouraging more walking and cycling.

Strongly support the CRL concept, but statements on increased capacity and efficiency and frequency of rail services need some justification; no indication of “plan B” if Govt does not support the project; funding source percentages do not appear to agree with funding split figures.

Penlink: stated cost appears low, and should represent complete project including intersection with Whangaparaoa Road and associated widening, intersection with East Coast Road, and connection to proposed interchange with motorway.


Page 8 of 52

11:30 – Peter Todd

Too much money spent on rail; not enough on ferries.

CRL is too expensive and will benefit too few people. Cost benefit study needed.

Scrap rail link to airport: cars and buses are cheaper and better/faster.

Roll out fibre optic and encourage people to work from home. 11:40 - Penlink Now Team

Need to be fair to all areas of Auckland not just central city.

Believe Penlink needs to be in the Plan far sooner.

AT and the Council need to look at bundling some projects i.e. Penlink and Puhoi to Wellsford Highway together to make it more attractive to private investor.

11:50 - Howick Local Board

High growth rates in local board area: good transport linkages crucial to driving growth and a vibrant economy.

AMETI is a key project for Howick Ward. Challenge is to accelerate phases 2 and 3.

Infrastructure needed to support Half Moon Bay ferry.

Projects supported:

o Smales/Allens/Springs Road;

o Chapel Road realignment;

o Flatbush School Road/Stage 4 Murphys Road;

o Murphys Road bridge improvements;

o Murphys Road upgrade (Murphys bush roundabout);

o Ormiston Road widening;

o Flatbush to Manukau RTN;

o Botany to Manukau RTN; and

o Flatbush to Manukau City (business priority improvement).

Flatbush collectors stream crossings and Thomas Road culvert replacement: Board agrees these are not a key priority.

Projects for reconsideration with a higher priority and advanced timeframe:

o AMETI Phase 2;

o Halfmoon Bay Ferry Terminal;

o Waipuna Bridge strengthening; and

o East/west connection to SH20.


Page 9 of 52

12:05 - Orakei Local Board, (Ken Baguley) (Desley Simpson)

Strongly supports local roads projects and would appreciate being informed of details on Tamaki Drive corridor upgrade, and Ellerslie Panmure Highway upgrade.

Seeks support to include major walking and cycling projects from Orakei Local Board Plan in RLTP.

Supports vision of one system approach, but notes that practically all of projects listed have little benefit to citizens of Orakei unless decisions made in support of OLB initiatives including rail station in Poerewa Valley, and addressing traffic existing AMETI at Morrin Road. Funding of major projects will have to be achieved without increasing rates by more than inflation.

Planning for a third rail line should be included in long term plan for Poerewa Valley.

Support for key projects (listed) subject to affordability.

Does not support resources for rail link to the airport.

Supports continued planning for second harbour crossing, but not for rail to Orewa.

Requests allocation to trial feeder bus services to rail as advocated in OLB Local Board Plan.

Thanks for including Tamaki Drive safety improvements.

Comments on funding plan and priorities identified.

Support for listed projects: wishes to work with AT on detail of transport and safety initiatives.

Would appreciate advice on local projects included in regional allocations for safety, corridor and intersection improvements, footpath and cycleway development, local road renewals and maintenance.

12:20 - Edward Timings

Bike and walking lanes are a priority: we have an overweight and sick society.

Bike lanes needed especially over the bridge. 12:30 - James Baldwin

We could have free buses for one tenth the price we are currently paying.

Too much spent on by-passes. 12:40 - Kelvin Choi

AMETI is good for Pakuranga and East Tamaki, but not good enough for areas deep inside east such as Howick, Sommerville, Shelly Park. Extend AMETI to east of eastern suburbs.

Like inner city rail as will ease congestion. Big cheap carpark near train stations would make it even more effective.


Page 10 of 52

1:30 - Drury Community Committee, (Elizabeth Palmer)

Have been advocating for Drury Park and Ride for many years. Have received timeline for station at Drury but feel this is going further down the list of priorities.

1:40 - Hector Broome

We should not be increasing permanent loss-making ferry routes and should review existing routes.

CRL unaffordable at present.

1:50 - Dennis Paul

Rail service should be greatly improved and most freight done by rail instead of trucks.

Modern monorail should be used for PT.

Harbour Bridge Pathway should be included.

Would like to present my own proposal for harbour crossing update. 2:00 - Eileen Van Dam

Half of transportation dollars should be spent on PT, the balance on roads, cycle paths and footpaths.

Disagree with large amounts spent on subsidising rugby events. 2:10 - John Binsley

No more parking buildings should be allowed in CBD; they should be built at Albany, Henderson, Pakuranga or Glen Innes to serve as park & ride.

Tighter controls and charging for parking.

All kerb parking within, on or near Inner Link route should be maximum 2 hours, and all non-metered areas should be included in rush hour bus priority system.

2:20 - Simon McLean

Lake Rd has ground to a crawl. Council has done little to address this situation.

Work was to begin on section of Lake Road between Hauraki Corner and Bayswater Avenue but I have been informed this will not take place until 2016/2017. This is not good enough. Immediate and emergency work needs to begin now.

Ideas that should be considered: triple lane Lake Road, monitored electronically; synchronising traffic lights; constructing pedestrian overpasses; remove all parking, remove trees at Takapuna Grammar and inset school buses; construct a causeway from Onewa Road to Bayswater.

2:30 - National Road Carriers

Welcomes Auckland Plan provision for completion of combined AMETI and east-west link project by 2021, but requests revision of LTP and RLTP to provide for work programme and resources required to achieve the target completion date.

Supports Auckland Plan target to reduce freight congestion but requests LTP/RLTP to include a comprehensive programme of how it will be achieved.


Page 11 of 52

Strongly supports one system approach.

Seeks improved focus on programme activities to improve freight transport outcomes, including a freight network map added to section 3; consolidation of HPMV route improvement project detail.

Seeks priority for the following projects to improve freight sector performance and safety outcomes: Investigation/route protection for SH16 Grafton Gully stage 3; SH20A George Bolt Drive/Kirkbride Road intersection; SH1 Hill Road to Takanini.

2:45 - John Kirikiri

Penlink: move forward to years 3 or 4 instead of 7 year timeframe.

CRL: remove from 2012-2022 budgets and revisit in 2015-2025.

Give higher priority to Silverdale park and ride.

Investigate funding partnership with Todd Properties to build new ridge road to future-proof Long Bay Structure Plan.

3:20 - National Trading Company of NZ & Foodstuffs (Auckland) Ltd (Angela

Bull)

Generally supportive of RLTP and prioritising schemes.

RLTP should be better aligned with goals and priorities of Auckland Plan, particularly intention to provide for future business and population growth in centres, corridors and satellite towns.

Concerned at lack of funding for Kumeu Town Centre road improvements. Seeks inclusion in the 3 year period.

3:30 - Heart Foundation

Strongly supports shift towards greater funding for PT, but concerned to see greater proportion of budget allocated to PT and active transport.

Supports CRL, investment in walking and cycling infrastructure, operational subsidies for PT, including integrated ticketing; support for improved school travel plans, PT and walk/cycle components of AMETI, Dominion Road upgrades to improve bus transit times.

Agree with statement that :transport is not an end in itself”, but the “means” has a major impact on people and their health.

Transformational change requires greater investment in PT and act transport now.

Challenge of safety: cyclists and pedestrians over-represented in crashes; higher use of active modes requires a safe road environment.

Support one-system approach. Need to extend this to fully integrating public and active transport modes, eg bikes on buses, cycle lockers & stands.

Strongly encourage completion of regional cycling network.

Strongly support pedestrian prioritisation for pedestrian crossings at signalised intersections.

Support inclusion of PT in major road projects: they should also consider how to improve walking and cycle safety.

Support traffic calming, landscaping and shared space concepts.


Page 12 of 52

Note many walking/cycling projects listed as unlikely to be funded: need to create an environment that supports alternatives to driving cars.

Make greater use of T2 and T3 lanes, but design to allow safe passing of bicycles.

Support review of bus services, but expand to region-wide review of entire PT system.

Prioritisation framework: add a fifth priority focus area to create a shift to greater use of public and active transport.

Section 4.1: support greater integration between land use and transport, and CRL, active components of AMETI, more people-friendly shared spaces.

Section 4.2: support initiatives to improve PT, and giving priority to PT and walk/cycle facilities when upgrading arterials.

Section 4.3: support projects listed under “further development of PT” and “upgraded walking and cycling facilities”.

Section 4.4: submit that road designers should also be required to build roads that consider safety for cyclists and pedestrians.

Support initiatives in local board plans that develop/enhance/improve walking and cycling safety.

3:40 - Annette Fenton

CRL project is not acceptable. 4:00 - Nova Institute (Patrick Cummuskey & Jason Farley)

Institute‟s objective is to enhance governance through science and reason.

Agree with CRL. Would appreciate more detail on costs, as $2.86 billion is significant not to itemise. What land is to be sold to offset cost?

Support rail electrification; operational subsidies for PT, walking and cycling infrastructure.

Support safety around schools, but question what proposed interventions are: no details provided.

Strongly support link to airport.

Agree with AMETI; disagree with Panmure roundabout removal.

Agree with Penlink.

Reserve judgement on Albany Highway, Dominion Road upgrades and Wynyard Quarter allocation.

General dissatisfaction at poor strategic thought that goes into transport projects in Auckland; lack of future-proofing. May need further designations.

4:30 - Roskill/Puketapapa Residents Assn, and Mt Roskill/Puketapapa Historical

Society (Garett Houltham)

Too much emphasis on roading. Spending on PT should be number one priority

Disagree with full proposal for Puhoi to Wellsford Highway. CBT proposal would get same result for less money.

Concern that AMETI may not be best PT option in the future.


Page 13 of 52

Strongly support CRL.

No mention of any work on Avondale-Southdown line. Planning should be started to assist with construction when time comes, and to enable all to be aware of where the line will go.

Dominion Road upgrade not seen as a long term solution. Only permanent solution is expansion of the rail network. Once CRL is completed there will be increased capacity for this to happen.

Avondale-Southdown line can be completed in stages.

Strongly support construction of Airport line.

TUESDAY, 17 APRIL 2012 9:10 - David Veail

Disagree with expenditure if it needs a rates increase more than inflation in my ward.

9:40 - Mangere-Otahuhu Local Board

Request that projects listed in Local Board Plan be prioritised, including:

o Complete Windrush Close – Waddon Place Connection;

o Review and scope future options for Otahuhu Bus Station;

o Feeder bus service to Otahuhu Train Station; and

o Bus service via Mangere Bridge to the airport.

Supports protection of corridor between Auckland Airport and the City Centre, but more immediate need is regular bus services to connect our communities to economic and education opportunities. Improvements include:

o Bus services from Mangere Bridge and Otahuhu to the Airport and surrounding business area;

o Conducting a review in the immediate future of bus routes in the M-O LB area to increase existing capacity; and

o Increasing the number seats and shelters for all bus stops along arterial routes.

Requests that information relating to both service level standards and post project reporting be a requirement for all renewals, upgrades, maintenance and roading projects within our local board area.

Additional funding must be set aside for ongoing maintenance due to heavy daily traffic volumes.

We request that AT prioritise footpaths renewals in alignment with similar renewals in Mt Eden recently, and checks to ensure that services within our local board area are on a par with that delivered throughout more affluent neighbours.

Strongly requests that our local board area receive an equitable portion of funding for Cycle Lanes, particularly around schools in our area.

Adequate funding from Auckland Transport Funding must be set aside for the Southern Initiative.


Page 14 of 52

The South-Western Auckland Multi-Modal Corridor Project must be developed in such a way that our town centres are not further cut off.

Safety: M-OLB communities are in critical need of funding for regular road campaigns targeting drivers that are unlicensed, drivers who are under the influence of alcohol, drugs and the like; and family cars carrying children who are unrestrained.

9:50 - Greater East Tamaki Business Association (Elspeth Mount)

Supports the draft RLTP.

Key projects to upgrade roads which service the industrial south are urgent and should be given extreme priority. These include AMETI, proposed SH20/SH1/East Tamaki link, Ormiston/Preston/East Tamaki Road intersection upgrade, Smales/Harris/Allens/Springs Road intersection upgrade.

Supports rapid implementation of AMETI. 10:00 - Dominion Road Business Association, (Gary Holmes)

Support the proposed expenditure for Dominion Road to make the corridor more efficient for PT and safer and more pleasant environment.

Acknowledge change in focus from original concept: now a far more sensible and acceptable proposal.

10:10 - Brent Bielby

RLTP shows scant regard to Auckland Plan outcomes; no specific reference to how the RLTP will contribute or impact on the 5 transformational shifts.

RLTP should be proposing to deliver more cycling infrastructure than currently planned. 0.8% spend on walking and cycling is grossly inadequate.

RLTP should not only be supporting completion of regional cycle network, but also outlining commitment to support Greenways cycle concept.

Like to see funding for walking and cycling increased to at least 2% over duration of the LTP.

Supportive of CRL. 10:20 - Auckland Harbour Bridge Pathway Trust (Bevan Woodward) (Kirsten

Shouler)

Pathway proposal is for construction and operation of a high-class walking and cycling facility across the AHB, funded primarily by a toll on users and sale of naming rights.

NZTA agreement in place, and business case developed. Ask that AT allocates resources to enable the project to proceed.

Ask that RLTP include funding for advancement of the project, to enable pre-construction investigation and design in 2012/13 (estimated at $2.75m); and inclusion of AHB Pathway as a revenue generating asset (approx $2m pa in 2013/14).

Pathway outcomes are in line with RLTP goals, and the project meets the requirements for a high-priority project in the RLTP.


Page 15 of 52

10:30 - David Thornton

Disagree with CRL.

Re-prioritise after deleting CRL. 11:00 - Jill Jeffs

Please give us a bus service from West Orewa to City. Let south and west Auckland wait for extras scheduled for them. They already have trains and buses and taxis, we have nothing.

11:10 - Warwick Fowler

Disagrees with proposed expenditure on transport, but no detailed comments.

11:20 - Crown Group, (C. Cathcart)

No detail on proposal to realign The Strand Takapuna.

Objectives of Takapuna strategic transformation can be achieved without realigning The Strand adjacent to Crown Group site. Seek deletion from LTP.

11:30 - Brian Cheal

Too much spending on roads, not enough on rail.

Poor planning for the complexity of the problem.

Wants to speak on financial cost of transport solutions. 11:40 - St Stephen’s and Queen Victoria Schools Trust Boards, (Karyn Kurzeja)

Landowner of 48.7 ha property at 600 Whitford-Maraetai Road.

Widening of Whitford-Maraetai Road is listed in the RLTP in 4-10 years, with funding unlikely, and low strategic fit and effectiveness/efficiency.

Widening would cause a number of issues which need to be addressed before any decisions can be made on the project.

AT is seeking agreement of the Trust for an alteration to existing designation, which would affect the Trust property.

Seek removal of project from the RLTP, or alternatively compensation for the affected land.

11:50 - Pukekohe Business Association, (Kendyl Gibson)

Oppose proposal to defer upgrade of Pukekohe Railway Station. Station needs to be upgraded within next 3 years including establishment of park and ride facility.

Suggest that once electrification and CRL established, thought is given to express services from Pukekohe.

Should be a bus service from Waiuku to Pukekoke, and bus linkages with train service when it terminates at Papakura.

Must give Local Boards funding to enable them to put forward proposals for traffic management and roading projects to be funded by NZTA.


Page 16 of 52

12:00 - Mangere East Community Learning Centre, (Roger Fowler)

Number one priority needs to be a major upgrade of PT and walking & cycling facilities. Stop spending on roads.

Former petrol station at 374 Massey Road could be acquired to make way for PT facility (off street bus bay and shelter). A similar bus bay could be created in open space on opposite side of Massey Road.

Pedestrian crossing in front of Mangere East Library should be upgraded.

Request funding for feasibility study and development of new community centre and PT & pedestrian facilities.

Roger Fowler:

Needs to be a substantial shift from cars to PT.

Council should urgently consider fare free PT across the region.

Halt spending on extravagant roading projects & divert funds to free PT, purchase large fleet of modern, low emission buses, upgraded electric trains and ferries, improved PT flow measures, and passenger and walking & cycling amenities.

Services should be more frequent and run 24/7. Engage PT ambassadors to assist passengers.

12:10 - Bikers Rights Organisation NZ, (Howard Sutten)

Auckland‟s transport problems will not be solved by throwing more money into bad, into the inexhaustible maw of public transport.

Belgian study shows that encouraging 10% of car drivers to use powered two wheelers instead results in a 40% reduction in congestion (and even greater reduction in demand for parking).

12:20 - The Business & Housing Group (Jon Maplesden)

Group of companies and individuals who hold property interests in Auckland.

Written submission to LTP and RLTP does not cover any specific transport issues, but raises concerns at financial implications of proposed expenditure, and impact on debt.

Need to consider reduction in operating expenses, deferment of big-ticket capital expenses, rationalisation of “beautification” projects, more flexible approach to sale of assets.

12:30 - Ray Wallace and Terry Cutting

The urgency in South Auckland is road transport.

SH1 between Orams Road and Papakura turnoff needs to be at least 3 lanes.

South western motorway link to SH1 at Manukau causes over-congestion.

Consideration should be given to new highway from Puhinui Road across Manukau Harbour from Weymouth to Urquhart Road, thus creating an alternative access to Karaka, Franklin, Waikato.


Page 17 of 52

1:30 - Hans Grueber

Spend on PT. Look at new ways like monorail. Stop building more roads, which only attract more private traffic.

Stop concreting the landscape to increase the problem. PY with more innovative alternatives.

1:40 - Toni Millar

Strongly endorse AMETI, Puhoi-Wellsford motorway extension and SH17/Western Ring Route projects.

Support third harbour crossing; consider eastern route.

Do not support CRL, nor Quay Street being turned in to pedestrian/cycle way.

Do not support Tamaki Drive being altered to predominantly pedestrian/cycle way; only once Eastern Ring Route is completed can there conceivably be alterations to Tamaki Drive.

When new arterials built there should always be an extra lane designated for PT. Hoped that AMETI has made such allowances.

Standard of footpaths needs to be maintained: council needs to address this.

Should do something about short run shopping PT routes and those to connect people with trains.

St Heliers Bay wharf needs to continue to be on the drawing board. 1:50 - Suzanne Vincent

Firm commitment of funds required for rapid completion of CRL. Further rail links need to connect suburbs beyond area of CRL.

Dwindling oil supply must be faced. Need to get as much transport onto sustainable power sources as soon as possible.

Essential to provide adequate parking at rail stations.

Trains need at least part of carriage set up for bike transport.

Cycle tracks must be supported much further than is detailed in draft plan.

Must transport vastly more freight by rail. AT needs to liaise with Government on this.

Transport must be provided to people on the fringes: consider creative solutions, including electric mini-buses, public-private partnerships, community sector.

2:05 - Clive Teare

What happens if Govt does not fund to 50%?

Oppose AMETI and Penlink.

Oppose what appears to be a revenue generated focus on speeding and roadside testing laid down as policy without qualifying data.

Would like to see a greater focus on West Auckland roading.

Believe the govt should fund more of SH1 changes.


Page 18 of 52

2:15 - Benjamin Ross

CRL should be pushed back to next LTP. Auckland, regardless of central government contribution, does not have the money without crippling the city with high interest repayments.

Penlink should be a PPP with toll.

Disagree with AMETI: stop gap measure, can be adapted for the Eastern Highway (note wider LTP submission deals with possibility of Port relocation).

Note: Additional material will be presented to Hearing. 2:25 - Sustainable Paremoremo (Barb Cooper)

The Avenue and SH17 – many accidents there and project not scheduled for 2016/2017

Improve car parking facilities in the Albany Village

Create safe passageway: Albany-Paremoremo scenic walkway 2:35 - Kiwi Income Property Trust (Andrew Buckingham)

Supports overall thrust of RLTP, and in particular supports provisions that address integrated management of land use and transportation planning; proposals to complete the motorway network whilst also strengthening PT; and specific works including CRL, AMETI, works proposed in and around New Lynn, upgrading of Te Wero bridge.

Seeks completion of a functioning isthmus rail loop connecting Britomart, southern line and NIMT by constructing a link between the 2 lines at Te Papapa/Southdown.

Seeks implementation of Southdown-Avondale rail connection.

Seeks additional emphasis on aspects of land use/transport integration, including the need for concentrated office/retail/education activities in identified nodes and PT corridors.

Seeks a consistent car parking policy to avoid discouraging intensification in identified nodes.

2:50 - Pine Harbour Holdings (Russell Bartlett)

Concern that proposed infrastructure works for roading in 2012-22 have not been subject to rigorous analysis as to ability to accommodate 100,000 new households expected to be developed inside RUB within that period.

Lack of any provision for roading to implement Plan Change 30 in Manukau section of District Plan to designate and purchase proposed road connection from Pine Harbour to Karaka Rd, Beachlands.

3:20 - Manurewa Local Board, (Daniel Newman)

Want to ensure that a CBD focus is not at the expense of the suburbs.

One system, integrated approach supported if current work programme continues.

Comprehensive bus service is appropriate PT option for Auckland.

Support CRL and designation, but timing and cost of implementation is an issue. Ratepayers should not have to fund.


Page 19 of 52

Funding for projects ahead of CRL: third southbound lane between Hill Road and Takanini; upgrading of Takanini Interchange; third lane each way Takanini-Papakura; fourth southbound lane SH20-Hill Road.

Mill Rd corridor is high priority but is not adequately addressed in the RLTP.

Supports urgent completion of network study to identify intersection improvements in the Takanini area.

Supports other intersection improvements: Mahia and Coxhead; Clendon roundabout;.

Te Mahia station upgrade requires safety improvements.

Industrial footpaths budget should be included.

Local boards should be given a discretionary transport budget. FRIDAY, 20 APRIL 2012 9:00 - Puketapapa Local Board, (Richard Barter)

Key priorities for Board are:

o Puketapapa Greenways network: recommend AT include walking and cycling initiatives, specifically development of Puketapapa Greenways network, in advocacy plan to national government; and a collaborative approach to utility provider budgets in the area;

o Dominion Road upgrade; Support improvements planned for Dominion Road; request some specific changes to align better with Greenways network and community aspirations;

o Park and ride facilities: Denbigh Ave/SH20: support this, but keep fares same as for Mt Roskill

o East-west bus connections;

o Avondale Southdown rail link: recommend completion of designation in next 3 years; and

o Equity / allocation of expenditure by local board areas: disappointed that Mt Roskill/Puketapapa only allocated 0.01% of RLTP work programme.

Section 9: should prioritise Denbigh Road reconstruction; walking and cycling facilities; Dominion Road corridor upgrade (subject to changes suggested). Recommend revisiting priority for Southdown to Avondale loop.

Supports electrification of rail, CRL, Western Ring Route, other arterial road upgrades, further development of cycleways along SH corridors, SW Airport multi modal corridor.

Do not support Puhoi to Wellsford motorway.

Strongly recommend that school travel plans be prioritised, and that AT education programmes be targeted towards creating a positive image of walking and cycling. Strongly recommend allocating a higher budget to waking and cycling.

Recommend AT investigate safety issues around schools campus.

Supports integrated ticketing.

Recommends development of cycle connections to rail stations, and early completion of regional cycle network starting with radial route proposed by Cycle Action Auckland.


Page 20 of 52

Recommends that weighting be given to health benefits of active modes in project ranking, and their contribution to reducing pollution and congestion.

9:10 - Satendra Kumar

Agree with project to upgrade and electrify rail system.

Forecast of 60% increase in road transport appears to be hugely understated.

Rail and bus services more expensive than commuters having a personal car. Need to look at possibility of reduction in these costs to make it more viable for commuters to travel by PT.

9:20 - Northridge Estate 2001 Ltd (Bill Burrill)

Development of Mill/Redoubt/Murphys Road needs to be brought forward to save lives and end daily congestion.

Mill Road corridor and Murphy Rd/Stancombe Road corridor sequenced together because Mill Road traffic flows into Murphy Road to East Tamaki industrial employments area, Auckland motorway Highbrook and Botany.

CRL: wise to ensure route protected now, but ridiculous to try and complete it within given time schedule. There is a great deal more to Auckland city than just the CBD.

AMETI: an essential improvement. 9:30 - Northern Branch of the IPENZ Transportation Group, (Max Robitzsch)

Support proposed funding on rail and PT projects in general. By concentrating on projects for high-occupancy vehicles (PT, ride sharing) as well as active modes, some of the most expensive projects (e.g. additional Waitemata Harbour crossing) could be avoided or deferred.

Insufficient 0.8% provision for walking and cycling. Inappropriate to simply use the low co-funding rate set by the Ministry of Transport. Ask that rates-funded part of walking and cycling investment for next 10 years be doubled.

Support funding proposed for CRL, rail electrification, rail station upgrades, integrated ticketing, airport rail route protection, and general bus priority measures.

Support proposed city centre transport improvements.

East Tamaki-SH1-SH2: costs and utility of such a corridor should be verified and debated before being included as a priority project

Concerns about appropriateness of Reeves Road. flyover as part of AMETI as severe urban design downside.

Concerning that section 8 of RLTP leaves even experts unsure of what specific measures are intended: provide a short summary for each item.

9:40 - Gowan Creamer

PT and cycleways need more expenditure.

Harbour crossing for cyclists and pedestrians is not included.

Absence of T2 lanes on Auckland motorway is abysmal.

Britomart as an end bus stop is not nearly as useful as having city portion of bus trips being a loop of the city.

Making Zone 1 free would markedly increase bus use.


Page 21 of 52

9:50 - Stevenson Group Limited, (Richard Stillwell) (Steve Bollase)

Priority 4.1 (greater integration between land use and transport) supported, but should be extended to include land use/transport integration involving multimodal projects supporting development of Land Extensive Business Activities (LEBA), not just mixed use, high density centres.

Support transport requirements of LEBA by prioritising transport requirements of LEBA that will be required to locate in greenfields in future. In particular, recognise importance of road freight, and further develop the future regional freight network in the southern sector, particularly the Mill Road corridor.

Support Mill Road project in section 5.3, but note that beyond 2018 network in this area will come under increasing pressure if Mill Rd project not implemented.

10:00 - Kumeu-Huapai R&R, (Pete Sinton)

Funding for greater road sealing program needed. Cheaper option over time to seal roads rather than try and maintain metal roads.

Interim transport study for Kumeu-Huapai not completed. Need to complete study.

No train or bus service to Kumeu Huapai area. 10:10 - Jack Henderson

RLTP fails to address potential implications of energy price increases.

Plan should indicate potential for price shock and actions that may be needed.

Significantly increase focus on provision of PT, including start work on CRL immediately.

Significantly decreased attention to provision of new roads. 10:20 - Devonport - Takapuna Local Board, (Chris Darby)

Disconnect between the draft Auckland Plan, and the RLTP, as two of Takapuna‟s transformational roading projects, (Anzac Street upgrade, and the Auburn Street/Burns Avenue upgrade), are beyond the first 3 years; and RLTP silent key parking infrastructure.

Supportive of a focus on PT, including CRL, but concerned that insufficient focus on operational expenditure necessary to implement major initiatives quickly, such as the Bus Service network review.

RLTP does not demonstrate that AT has adopted a public-transport-centric approach. Asks that AT is clear about prioritising public transport and rail freight in the final version of the RLTP.

Disturbing to note that such a small percentage of the total budget is committed to enabling and supporting walking and cycling: sends the wrong message about the importance of walking and cycling to creating the “World‟s most liveable City”. Suggest that final version spell out an emphasis on these forms of transport.

Supports the focus on rail, but no information on benefits to the transport network as a whole, and has some concern about the cost of this project.

Supports completion of the Western Ring Route.

Some reservations about aspects of AMETI, in particular about the considerable cost of the connection to Neilson Street: seek less costly alternatives.


Page 22 of 52

Strongly supports early development of additional Waitemata Harbour crossing including providing for rail and cycle connections.

Supports the introduction of red light cameras; further Northern Motorway gateway development including the Henderson to Albany RTN; cycleways along SH corridors, (but suggests these should be a priority in the first 3 years.

Supports Devonport ferry terminal budget but believes it is under-budgeted and starting too late.

Support Stanley Bat and Bayswater ferry terminals.

Support Taharoto Rd/Wairau upgrade, Stanley Bay wharf access upgrade, East Coast Road /Forrest Hill Rd intersection.

Lake Road upgrade (Hauraki to Bayswater): upgrade should be brought forward to the 2013-14 and 2014-15 years. Seek assurance that the solution to the congestion problems involve all forms of transport.

Takapuna Anzac Street upgrade (Northcote to Hurstmere), and Takapuna Auburn Street/Burns Avenue upgrade): should be in first cycle of RLTP as key elements in transformation of Takapuna.

Concerned that Gasometer development and Anzac Street and Killarney Street car parks not included.

11:00 - Stillwater Residents and Ratepayers Assoc (Paul Murphy)

Agree with emphasis on PT.

Strongly disagree with Penlink proposal. Money budgeted would be better used for improved PT.

Silverdale needs improved roading connections and PT services, including fast tracking of park and ride facility.

Penlink should be reassessed following completion of Whangaparaoa Road widening.

Strongly agree with improving footpath network, and Curley Avenue extension in Silverdale.

Agree with extension of Northern busway to Silverdale.

If second harbour crossing is required, get on with it. 11:10 - Glenn Archibald

Insufficient emphasis on roads and buses: use RWC opening night to learn.

Mill Road needs to be re-thought: too expensive.

What has happened to Weymouth/Karaka? 11:20 - John Radford

Auckland Harbour Bridge must be modified to carry cyclists and pedestrians.

There is overspending on roads and motorways.

Also urgently need spending on bicycle infrastructure and safe pedestrian routes city wide.


Page 23 of 52

11:30 - Civic Trust Auckland, (Audrey Van Ryn)

Allocation of 0.8% of overall budget to walking and cycling is not sufficient; would like to see an increase to at least 5% to complete key cycling networks and improve the walking and cycling experience.

Cycling projects that should be prioritised include Harbour Bridge cycleway, connecting NW cycleway with waterfront; improving Tamaki Drive cycleway; connecting up the Regional Cycle Network.

Give consideration to sharing of footpaths by pedestrians and cyclists.

Network of footpaths should be included under “Strategic assets”.

More encouragement of motorbikes and motor scooters.

A 24 hour PT service would assist in goal for Aucklanders to plan journeys with confidence. MAXX info service should be available 24 hours.

Gradually replace larger buses with smaller, more frequent buses.

PT fares should take account of contribution of PT to wider public benefits.

Support extension of passenger ferry network.

Disappointed at no mention of trams. Support extension of Wynyard tram to St Heliers.

Effects of transport on built and natural environment not sufficiently addressed.

Commends rail electrification and supports the CRL. 11:40 - Waitakere Pacific Board (Taha Fasi)

Strongly believe CRL is not the best use of limited revenue from ratepayers. It is costly and does not geographically cover all of Auckland for such a high cost.

Urge Council to focus on improving and making existing rail and roads (buses) efficient with strategies including:

o Maintain existing rail for freight;

o Maintain existing passenger train service;

o Bus lanes all the way to and from the CBD; and o More bus services for the outer suburbs.

11:50 - Garth McLeod

RTN from Constellation to Westgate could be tried now.

Little mention of improving Northern Busway.

Concern if Penlink is built will have more cars at peak times on congested roads.

No mention of assisting communities on working with AT to improve transport.

12:00 - Living Streets North Shore Aotearoa, (Gay Richards)

Supports all local board projects designed to enhance off-road walking/cycling routes, in particular improvements to Milford-Devonport coastal walkway and inner harbour walkway/cycleway Devonport-Takapuna.

Supports Kaipatiki Walking and Cycling track network plan.‟

Supports town centre and roading projects where needs of pedestrians are recognised and their environment improved.


Page 24 of 52

Supports Cycle Action submission.

Does not support public money spent to develop car park facility in Takapuna.

Disappointed that no funding allocated to support walkway/cycleway across Harbour Bridge.

12:10 - Bayswater Community Committee Incorporated, (Gay Richards)

Supports funding allocations for Bayswater ferry terminal. More frequent weekend services and connections to Devonport are desirable. Concerned that level of funding proposed may not be available. Clarity sought by community.

Lake Rd upgrade (Hauraki Road – Bayswater Avenue): work should commence earlier than 2017/2018 proposed in draft plan.

Travel demand management plans must continue to be adequately funded 12:20 - North Harbour Business Association, (Janine Brinsdon)

Current single Waitemata Harbour Crossing is a significant limiter on economic growth.

Support Waitemata Harbour tunnel.

Support the following projects: Albany Highway, Albany Highway South upgrade, Northern Busway extension stations, continued funding beyond June 2012 for NHBA‟s Transport Project Administrator.

Other considerations include SH18/Albany Highway improved exit safety; protecting bus access for schools while Albany Highway is reconstructed; continued access to AT technical expertise.

Apparent lack of cohesion across AT project planning: clearer communication will alleviate.

12:30 - Carol Jones

Disagree with road tolls. 11:10 - Team Manurewa, (Toa Greening)

CRL too expensive: look at other options.

Southern motorway capacity needs to be increased 1:30 - Erin Wi

Agree with CRL, Waitemata rail tunnel and airport rail.

1:40 - Hibiscus and Bays Local Board

Supports retention of key transport projects, with changes as follows:

o Penlink: include in Fig 5.2 priority transport projects; and

o Extension of East Coast Road to Curley Avenue: bring forward funding.

Retain Penlink, Busway extension Albany-Hibiscus Coast (designation) and additional Waitemata crossing (investigation).

Retain Long Bay/East Coast Road and Whangaparaoa Road upgrade as local road projects.

Confirm local road, PT and state highway projects (as listed in section 2.3 of submission.)

Supports inclusion of proposed “Smales Farm-Albany-Silverdale-Whangaparaoa” transport package.


Page 25 of 52

Include funding necessary to complete Silverdale park and ride in 2012/13, and consequential increase in PT budgets.

Request that local boards be allocated discretionary funding from budgets for local roads safety and minor improvements, minor roads renewals, and footpath and cycleway.

Request funding for ferry connection from Gulf Harbour to Browns Bay.

Insufficient project detail in RLTP. Require detailed list of projects and indicative funding cut-off by activity type; and a breakdown of projects by local board.

Following areas do not meet aspirations of draft Auckland Plan:

o funding for PT services more or less status quo;

o is walking and cycling budget sufficient to achieve mode shift targets?

o need to advise how much of priority one arterials will be upgraded over next 10 years;

o need to show contribution to greenhouse gas reduction target; and

o need to advise allocations to land purchase for route protection for major projects.

Greater clarity required on which projects funded 100% by Council 2:00 - Waiwera Valley Residents & Ratepayers Association, (Jo Floyd) (Wayne

Godfrey)

Submission to LTP includes transport components.

Disagree with amount of emphasis on CRL and similar large Auckland central projects and potential impact on rates for those who do not receive significant benefits.

Seal extension funding allocation ($500k pa) is totally unacceptable. There should be a funding plan in place for the upgrade of Auckland‟s rural roads, prioritised on the basis of safety and amenity, traffic volumes, traffic diversion, type of traffic, and level of service and maintenance costs. Budget for seal extension should be around $5m pa (enough for 10km pa).

Support extension of PT system, and completion of Silverdale park and ride.

2:10 - Jo Floyd & Wayne Godfrey

Support Waiwera Valley Assn submission.

Concerned at considerable spending on CRL, waterfront and CBD improvements.

No improvements planned on rural roads.

In general very little focus on rural areas and townships. 2:20 - James Barnett

Funding allocated to walking and cycling only 0.8% of overall transport expenditure; out of kilter with proportion of trips made. Request an increase to 5%.

Completing a range of cycling projects, including Harbour Bridge cycleway, North Western cycleway to the waterfront.

Support investing in Regional Cycle Network. These are priority routes that need to be fully connected. In the short term, ask for pinch points and hazards, which make cycling unsafe, to be removed.


Page 26 of 52

2:30 - Warkworth Area Liaison Group, (Bruce Mason)

Concern at “metropolitan-centric” nature of proposed programme; majority of stated key priorities relate to inner city.

Appears to be no provision for seal extension and other safety improvements for rural roads outside of those already in pipeline.

Programme is silent on any extension of PT to service centres north of Orewa.

Request that programme include:

o PT service to Warkworth and Wellsford: Investigate 2012/2013, implement by 2014/2015;

o Include Warkworth Western Collector in 2012/15 programme; and

o SH1: McKinney Road/Hill St/Hudson Road intersections: ensure appropriate funding provision to complete these projects within timeframe.

2:40 - Papakura Youth Forum

Increase and improve PT in Papakura. Accessibility of buses in Papakura is low,

Lack of access for youth and other people to Bruce Pulman Park. Why have development there if there is not suitable PT?

MONDAY, 23 APRIL 2012 9:00 - Federated Farmers of New Zealand, (Richard Gardner)

LTP submission.

Acknowledges that most transport expenditure will take place in urban areas, but disappointed that there is no discussion of transport initiatives for rural areas, and in particular no indication that Council will develop a seal extension programme.

Recommend that Council develop and fund a program for seal extensions in rural areas .

9:10 - Shane Fenton

Agree in principle with proposed level of expenditure for transport as we are well behind in investment; reality now we can never catch up, need to think smarter.

Getting back to providing a service, integration of all PT and at least having one smart card to use on all services.

Reliability” make providers more accountable.

Disagree with having roads/footpaths put together.

Concern at wasteful use of money e.g. roads dug up again soon after works completed.

9:20 - Auckland University of Technology, (Jenny Bygrave)

Supports investment in PT, particularly CRL.

Supports re-scoped AMETI: consideration should also be given to ensuring AMETI will also support the flow of students along Te Irirangi Drive and connect students to Manukau CBD.

Support Dominion Road PT improvements.

Recommend amendment to RLTP to recognise contribution from tertiary education sector to economic growth.


Page 27 of 52

Supports increase in walking and cycling but need to address safety issues.

Regional cycle network planning should recognise AUT Millennium and Manukau campuses.

Supports bus priorities and enhancements to bus services and frequencies, as important mode for students and staff.

Include all AUT campuses in future planning for walking and cycling.

Reflect priorities identified in Learning Quarter Plan in funding allocated in RLTP.

9:30 - Nextbike, (Julian Hulls)

mention of Public Bike Hire Network Plan places too little emphasis on increasing cycling rates.

Does not put enough money into cycling. 0.8% for walking and cycling is not enough to build the cycling projects we urgently need. Council should advocate to Govt to increase level of funding for walking/cycling and commit at least 5% of their own budget to walking/cycling.

RLTP should include more initiatives to make cycling safer and more pleasant but don‟t involve significant expenditure e.g. reducing speed limits on local roads.

RLTP should set clear targets for cycling rates.

None of key priorities on p6 relate to walking or cycling. Should include completing regional cycle network as a key priority.

Further detail needed on funding and timing of walking and cycling projects.

No mention of Public Bike Hire Network. 9:40 - Bus and Coach Association Incorporated, (Jasmine Koh)

Supports PT infrastructure proposals and priorities, but considers priorities for projects to enhance the northern busway should be reassessed with higher effectiveness ratings.

Opposed to currently proposed expenditure on CRL, as capital and operating costs very high.

Recommend that funding for constructing and operating CRL not provided for in 2012-2015 RLTP, and instead provide for further investigation and planning for an optimal rapid transit system serving the central city.

Seeks higher priority for a number of roading projects on critical parts of the bus network, including: upgrades in Takapuna, AMETI packages 4 and 6, Henderson-Albany RTN, East Coast Road, Ellerslie-Panmure Highway.

Supports the high priorities given to other road projects with significant benefits to PT users: Nelson Street, Lincoln Road corridor, Te Atatu Road corridor, Khyber Pass Road, Gt South Road

2012-2015 programme should not provide funding for protection and land purchase for a rail link to the airport, but instead provide funding for studies to determine the optimum mode and route for an enhanced PT link to the airport.

Supports boulevarding of Quay Street and other city centre streets in principle, but subject to ability of other streets to accommodate displaced traffic without causing congestion that would adversely affect bus operations, and additional capacity and priority measures for buses to accommodate additional demand.


Page 28 of 52

Suggest including an additional challenge to meet the identified challenges in a financially affordable and sustainable way.

Statement of priorities is hard to follow: recast in a similar format to Chapter 9.

9:50 - Auckland Business Forum, (Tony Garnier)

Linking AMETI and East-West Link into a single re-designed project integrated into the existing SH network with target completion of 2020 is Auckland‟s highest priority project for addressing congestion and improving freight efficiencies.

Seeks clear commitment in the LTP and RLTP to undertake a robust and transparent wider economic benefit assessment of all major projects to identify productivity and value for money benefits.

Recommend inclusion of a freight network map be in section 3, in addition to the map on page 13, to give details of the heavy freight vehicles (HPMV) routes these vehicles are required to use.

Funding requests for AMETI and East-West Link (pages 40-42) need to be updated to take account of the revised timeline and consolidation of this project in the Auckland Plan.

AT and NZTA to consider projects over next 3 years:

o 3-laning of SH1 Mt Wellington overbridge section as part of reconfigured AMETI and East-West Link project;

o Giving priority to investigation/ route protection for SH 16 Grafton Gully (Stage 3); and

o SH20A George Bolt Drive intersection with Kirkbride Road.

Pleased to note provision to address other bottlenecks/ constraints including SH18 Upper Harbour Highway connection with SH1 Northern Motorway upgrade between Constellation Drive and Greville Road; and Tiverton-Wolverton Corridor.

AMETI and East-West Link project: strongly recommends AT and NZTA form a Special Project Group to design, finance and build the corridor and make provision for integrating efficient freight and public transport infrastructure into the revised project description.

10:00 - Alcohol Healthwatch, (G. Raj Singh)

Independent charitable trust working to reduce alcohol-related harm. Alcohol-related road traffic fatalities and injuries is a major issue in Auckland. Believe AT can do more in reducing alcohol-related road trauma.

Support advocacy for increase in policing resources targeting drink/drugged driving, and recommend AT continue to advocate for a 0.05 blood alcohol limit.

Recommend AT address the issue of night transport and give the public more transport options, particularly in rural communities and during weekends.

More enforcement initiatives for drink driving and drinking in public transport in collaboration with the Police.

Concern at relatively low level of investment allocated to alcohol. Recommend that AT prioritise alcohol road safety and fund evidence-based programmes with measurable outcomes including community action. Brief and early interventions.


Page 29 of 52

Implement a policy restricting liquor advertising on and around PT and transport hubs; to restrict liquor outlets around PT hubs; advocate for a comprehensive local alcohol policy; and advocate for mandatory alcohol interlock sentences.

AT to work with regional partners to increase delivery of brief/early intervention programmes for drink drivers.

10:10 - New Zealand Ridesharing Institute, (Paul Minett)

LTP and RLTP do not offer reduced traffic congestion in Auckland.

Need to focus on reducing the total amount of driving, while retaining mobility. This requires people to walk, cycle or travel as passengers (in PT or cars).

Recommend funds set aside for feasibility and investigation and design for research and piloting of solutions to increase passengership: to deliver mechanisms to fill up buses and increase use of empty seats in private vehicles.

$100,000 needed for stage 1 of research; and recommend $300,000 in 2012/13 phase to develop ridesharing programme, and $2 million in each of years 2-5 to support pilot projects

10:20 - Alfriston Resident Group, Hill Park Residents Society, Porchester Park

Residents, (Gaylene Rudolph)

Lack of integrated transport planning in the Takanini, Alfriston, Mill Road area.

Priority needed to clearing congestion on southern motorway: needs 4 lanes each way.

Takanini interchange must be prioritised and a dedicated east/west route implemented from Mill Road to Takanini interchange to minimise impact on residential streets (especially heavy traffic).

10:30 - Franklin Heritage Community, (Eric Muir)

Prioritize Pukekohe eastern access and Pukekohe rail station upgrade. 11:00 - Auckland Council Disability Strategic Advisory Group (Dr Huhana

Hickey)

From a disability perspective, key issue is development of an outstandingly accessible, integrated and user-friendly PT system for all. Critical is maintenance of total mobility scheme and disability parking provisions.

Supports development of PT network, factoring in at all levels the needs of people with disabilities into all aspects of planning and implementation.

Remove “child and senior citizen” words on concession tickets: just “concession” tickets.

Supports fully accessible conveyances, terminals, bus stops, stations; clear visual and audible signage, integrated ticketing (with provisions for disability use).

Supports preservation of Total Mobility scheme.

Active maintenance and enforcement of disability parking arrangements.

Council and AT to lead negotiations with relevant Government agencies for inclusion into funding parameters, access provisions consistent with Article 9 of UM Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.


Page 30 of 52

11:10 - Patumahoe Village Inc., (Louise Sinclair)

Request resources for development of a Patumahoe Transport Plan in collaboration with AT and community groups

Planning and implementation of:

o locally designed network of walking and cycling routes in and around Patumahoe;

o an off-road walkway/cycleway adjoining rail line linking Patumahoe/Mauku villages;

o commuter cycle route from Patumahoe to Pukekohe; and

o Funding/ resources for development of Cycling Hub Strategy.

11:20 - Kiwi Rail (Jim Quinn)

General lack of acknowledgement of rail network‟s dual role for freight as well as passenger.

Supports identification of third main rail line in diagram 5.2, but would be keen to see higher priority.

Add reference to inland ports and rail network in page 3 para 3.

Add to list of transport priorities (page 4): “progressing investigation/design and progressive implementation of capacity enhancements in Westfield to Wiri section (i.e. Third Main from Westfield to Wiri).

No specific mention of need to grade separate road and rail for safety and efficiency reasons.

Page 12 para 4 omits arterial railway networks.

Include the Third Main in Fig 3.4.

Page 24: comments under enhanced efficiency of the regional freight network should reflect that KiwiRail is actively working with the listed parties to develop a freight strategy for the Upper North Island.

No mention of strategic freight corridors, including rail, under corridor protection (p22).

11:30 -Tim Gummer

Concerns that active transport not adequately catered for.

Does not put enough money into cycling. 0.8% for walking and cycling is not enough to build the cycling projects we urgently need. Council should advocate to Govt to increase level of funding for walking/cycling and commit at least 5% of their own budget to walking/cycling.

RLTP should include more initiatives to make cycling safer and more pleasant but don‟t involve significant expenditure e.g. reducing speed limits on local roads.

RLTP should set clear targets for cycling rates.

None of key priorities on p6 relate to walking or cycling. Should include completing regional cycle network as a key priority.

Further detail needed on funding and timing of walking and cycling projects.

Should be more priority on PT and less on major roading projects (eg Waterview Connection, roading elements of AMETI, Tiverton-Wolverton). Penlink should not be a high priority.

Support increased funding for school safety and travel plans.


Page 31 of 52

11:40 - Alan McCulloch

Doubt that enough has been projected for the ongoing increase in oil prices affecting the costs of road construction and maintenance.

Totally disagree with proposed new harbour crossing.

Priority needs to be given to business freight vehicles; low occupancy vehicles need to be financially discouraged on congested routes.

Light rail from Orewa. 11:50 - Hunua, Ararimu & Pararimu Residents Association, (Malcolm Bell)

Concerned that with all the funding on improving the transport system, subsidies are projected to increase. Would expect decrease with more people using new improved system.

Concerned about the amount spent on roads. Should see a much greater proportion of transport budget making walking and cycling safer and the preferred method of transport.

In desperate need of adequate footpaths in our villages to ensure safety.

We continue to battle with bureaucracy to lower the speed limits and improve signage. Roads are narrow and largely lack basic safety measures.

12:00 - Franklin Local Board, (Andy Baker)

As governance partner, local boards should be consulted during development of RLTP, and not treated as a submitter.

Strongly advocates for growth in PT, but concerned that funding for PT services is more or less status quo.

Require greater clarity on which projects are 100% council funded, and which are subsidised.

Prioritisation process should retain a local element. Current criteria result in bias against rural areas, and a CBD and city-centric focus.

Would like more detail on how RLTP aligns with Auckland Plan, especially delivery on aspirations for Pukekohe as a growth centre.

Supports aims of CRL, but support contingent project also securing non-rate funding.

Public transport: Like to see rail electrification to Pukekohe in 3 years; disagrees with decision to push back Pukekohe Station upgrade for 1 year; supports increased PT services in Franklin; would like higher priority for Drury park and ride; questions relevance of developing a station at Paerata.

Roading: concern at low priority for Pukekohe East Arterial; no expenditure proposed for Mill Road southern section for at least 3 years, but needs investigation/designation.

Urgent need to progress safety projects: upgrade of Kingseat Road/Glenbrook Road; dual roundabouts at King/Queen/Constable (Waiuku); upgrading Patumahoe/Waiuku/Atwell intersection; Sandstone/Whitford Park Road roundabout (bring forward); replacement of Ryburns Bridge; improvements to Whitford-Maraetai Road.

Bring forward Manukau/Harris/Custom =intersection improvements.

Retain Beachlands Maraetai kerb & channel budget at local level, and allocate a proportion of regional budgets for walking/cycling, seal extensions and street lighting improvements to local boards.


Page 32 of 52

12:15 - Waikato District Council

Enhanced efficiency of regional freight network: MOU is of interest to WDC as large proportion of freight will traverse through the district.

Request reference to extension of commuter rail service from Pukekohe to Tuakau.

Concern at proposed withdrawal of funding for Tuakau and Port Waikato bus services: subsidy should be jointly funded and included in RLTP.

Broaden section on integration of land use and transport to include Tuakau and Pokeno.

12:25 - Onehunga Enhancement Society, (Jim Jackson)

To develop Onehunga as a community and tourist centre, supports plans for electrified rapid transit, and upgrading highway access to airport.

Recommend inclusion of improvements for pedestrians and cycle access that connect Onehunga station with port and foreshore.

Recommend additions to p69 Auckland Plan growth areas to refer to ferry facilities and services, and a new airport bus route.

Support completion of connection between AMETI and SH20.

Actions to reduce the impact of infrastructure on the Manukau foreshore, and improve the foreshore of the Manukau to provide access, recreation amenities etc.

Reinstate a ferry service on the Manukau Harbour, from Onehunga to Waiuku.

12:35 - Manukau Harbour Restoration Society, (Jim Jackson)

To develop Onehunga as a community and tourist centre, supports plans for electrified rapid transit, and upgrading highway access to airport.

Recommend inclusion of improvements for pedestrians and cycle access that connect Onehunga Station with port and foreshore.

Recommend additions to p69 Auckland Plan growth areas to refer to ferry facilities and services, and a new airport bus route.

Support completion of connection between AMETI and SH20.

Actions to reduce the impact of infrastructure on the Manukau foreshore, and improve the foreshore of the Manukau to provide access, recreation amenities etc.

Reinstate a ferry service on the Manukau Harbour, from Onehunga to Waiuku.

1:30 - Albany Junior High School, (Mike Jackson)

More money needs to be spent on PT.

Albany Highway Upgrade: Proposed extended construction timeframe to 5 years will have significant negative impact on safety of students travelling to schools in the area. It will seriously put back a project designed to allow students to travel safely on the highway.

1:40 - Waitakere Ranges Local Board, (Janet Clews) (Greg Presland) (Denise

Yates)

General concern that draft seems to anticipate the continuous increase in private vehicle usage - with the only role of the draft programme being to try and accommodate this growth.


Page 33 of 52

RLTP should identify rising fuel prices and peak oil as key issues and place more emphasis on „demand management‟ and encouraging alternatives to private vehicles.

Supports improving Auckland‟s public transport network, including CRL, electrification of the rail network, strategic park and ride facilities, and ongoing service enhancements.

Supports upgrading (or providing new) walking and cycling facilities. Would like to see more projects in the West around walking and cycling - in particular linking New Lynn, Glen Eden and Henderson.

The balance of spending between roading projects vs public transport, walking and cycling should be adjusted. Much more could be done to encourage walking and cycling.

Supports key projects: Glen Eden park-and-ride, Swanson Station (presume this is improvements to park-and-ride), upgrades to Waitakere Station, road safety projects, integrated ticketing, Titirangi Road corridor improvements.

Would also like to see included:

o Further plans for an extended ferry system for the West – including at West Harbour, Te Atatu Peninsula and Hobsonville;

o Dedicated busway down the North Western Motorway; and

o Glen Eden should be included in the transport package for Massey North - Lincoln Road – Henderson – New Lynn – Avondale.

1:50 - Whenuapai Ratepayers and Residents Association Inc. (Graeme Barnard)

Completion of Western Ring Route and proposed introduction of ferry services are top priorities for our community.

As a first priority, address the (much lower cost items) of improving local road network before embarking on major network projects.

Include repair and maintenance of footpaths, drains and road berms around Whenuapai Village.

Extend Totara Road jogging and cycling track along Kauri Road to complete circuit around airbase.

2:00 - Bruce Pulman Park Trust

Disagree with expenditure on CRL in this 10 year period. Would like to see increase in expenditure on other PT, road/footpaths initiatives.

Support other rail projects. Request bringing forward rail link to airport.

Movement of people, especially youth, in local board area is high priority.

Planned projects to upgrade Takanini Rail Station and construct park and ride not aligned with recommendations for new Walters Rd station and park and ride.

Request provision of bus services to provide access to community town centres, facilities and Bruce Pulman Park.

Agree with electrification of rail, western ring route, arterial road upgrades, integrated ticketing, increased road policing.

Request consideration of investigation for an additional alternative route for road traffic moving south.


Page 34 of 52

2:10 - Unitec Institute of Technology

Supports general direction of RLTP which emphasises a one system approach.

Supports electrification of rail, upgrade of Mt Albert station, proposed CRLK, improvements to North-western Cycleway.

Seek investigation of feasibility and benefits of a cross-site link at Unitec Mt Albert campus.

Ensure a good connection to Unitec Mt Albert campus from proposed Waterview Cycleway.

Little focus on improvements to QTN, and no specific initiatives to improve the QTN in the Mt Albert area. No budget for Carrington Road improvements as part of QTN.

Little mention of bus priorities on Gt North Road. 2:20 - Devonport-Takapuna Bus Users Group, (Noeline Wallace)

Supportive of focus on PT. However, concerned that there is insufficient focus on operational expenditure necessary to implement major initiatives quickly, such as bus service network review.

Support early development of a Waitemata Harbour tunnel crossing, and support Harbour Bridge being used for CBD/Auckland central traffic & for buses.

Support provision of frequent bus services by priority measures on all routes.

2:30 - Kaipatiki Local Board, (Lindsay Waugh) (Chris Marshall) (Viveanne

Keohane)

Generally supports thrust and direction of RLTP, but submits on staging of projects to ensure integration of capital works with other Council activities, especially town centre enhancement programmes.

Strongly supports introduction of Beach Haven ferry service: consider advancing terminal facilities to do concurrently with pontoon. Consider future addition of Island Bay to route.

Strongly supports continued upgrade of Glenfield/Wairau route. Request Glenfield Town Centre stage is next to proceed, to enable integration with upgrade of town centre and improved bus facilities.

Request Birkenhead main street upgrade brought forward to align with town centre upgrade.

Strongly supports resources for walking and cycling. Request investigation of Wairau Valley cycle lane within the Wairau Road precinct rather than motorway.

Seek provision for bulk funding for local walkways and cycleways, and coordination of AT and LB budgets.

Committed to work with AT in promotion of alternatives to single occupant cars.

Support advancement of HOP system.

Supports additional harbour crossing, but strongly prefers a tunnel.

Supports in principle the CRL. Critical issue will be whether appropriate and affordable funding can be achieved. If so, Board supports CRL.


Page 35 of 52

2:40 - David Hodges

Need to spend a lot more on PT, not roads.

Strongly agree with proposed PT initiatives, including CRL, integrated ticketing, rail electrification. CRL needs to be fast tracked.

Suggest undertake sensitivity analysis on the effect oil price rises will have on the plan.

Walking cycling and PT need to be of highest priority. 2:50 - Tim Holdgate

Don‟t agree with priority given to CRL; tarseal first.

Strongly against central rail system. 3:20 - Northcote Residents Association Inc, (Brian Plimmer)

Supports new harbour crossing, and supports tunnel option.

Supports CRL

Do not support Puhoi to Wellsford Motorway; major increase in passing lanes seems a reasonable alternative.

Support busway extension Albany to Hibiscus Coast.

Support airport rail link only if evidence suggests it will be financial success.

Cycleway/walkway over bridge: no consultation with NRA; concerns over noise/rubbish.

Concern over Onewa Road/Lake Road/Sylvan Avenue: challenge the balance between rights of buses and private motorists; study into optimisation of traffic productivity is warranted.

Support upgrading of ferry terminals at Beachaven and Northcote, but more urgency needed.

Bus frequency to Northcote Point South poor outside peak hours. 3:30 –-Centre for Urban and Transport Studies, (David Willmot)

“Implosion cities” are recipes for economic disaster.

To achieve progress, need to ensure subjective, values-laden idealism is balanced by objective, reality-based and cost-conscious pragmatism.

Recentralisation seeks to reverse the massive social and economic forces driving decentralisation and urban expansion. Maximum potential for PT usage in Auckland is about 4% of total daily traffic. Economic insanity to shift road user taxes from road network development into coercive PT.

Incorrect presumptions undermine justifications for PT. The “energy saving justification” is not true.

Council should reverse attempts to re-centralise and artificially densify the city using coercive PT as tool.

Supporting papers referenced in submission. 3:40 - OraTaiao: New Zealand Climate and Health Inc. (Sudhvir Singh)

More than 140 doctors and other health professionals in New Zealand very concerned about the impact of climate change on health and health services.

Strongly recommend that AT dedicates a higher proportion of funding to public and active transport, not roading projects.


Page 36 of 52

Distribution of transport funding proposed is insufficient to meet the aspirational targets for public transport and sustainably set out in the Auckland Plan and the RLTS.

Fully supports the project submissions made by Cycle Action Auckland, the Campaign for Better Transport, Generation Zero, and the Auckland University Students‟ Association.

Commend AT‟s initiative in pursuing designation and funding for the CRL.

Support continued investment in rail electrification.

Recommend that AT shifts more resources from roading projects to dedicated cycleways and pedestrian infrastructure.

Explicitly oppose some projects: Puhoi to Wellsford motorway connection, Puhoi to Wellsford motorway connection, Additional Waitemata Harbour Crossing (Investigation), Hayman Park carpark, routes for High Performance Motor Vehicles (HPMV), AMETI.

Strongly endorse the following projects: Extension of the North-Western cycleway to the waterfront, investigation and designation of a dedicated busway on SH 16, sufficient investment to ensure reorganisation of the bus system is comprehensive and integrated with active transport measures, GetAcross walking and cycling pathway, extension of rail electrification to Pukekohe.

Recommend that Auckland Transport and the Auckland Council adopt a transport users hierarchy.

3:50 - Ragu Ragunathan

Possible to reduce operating costs; staff salaries can be minimised if service level optimised (e.g. parking wardens working in quiet streets on long weekends).

4:00 - Hugh Green Limited

Landholdings in Papakura, Massey, Flat Bush, Weiti, Helensville, Ardmore.

Provide sufficient funding for transportation investigations to advance development at Redhills (Massey), and Hingaia/Park Estate.

Supports proposed upgrades to Great South Road (Manukau to Drury, Park Estate to Slippery Creek).

In principle support Penlink, but consider there is still opportunity to consider re-zoning Weiti land to support significant costs associated with construction: opportunity for collaboration should be considered.

4:10 - Cosgrave Residents and Landowners Association

Supports identified roading projects which will facilitate improved access to, and future development of “Area 2A” at Takanini.

Request inclusion of upgrade of Grove Rd between Walters and Old Wairoa to enable development in conformity with structure plan.

4:20 - McConnell Property Limited / Addison Developments Limited

Have significant landholdings in Takanini.

Note DRLTP includes a range of transport projects which will improve access to and facilitate growth and development at Addison and the wider Takanini structure plan growth area.


Page 37 of 52

Funding for a new railway station at Addison not included, but funding for park and ride at Takanini is included. A new park and ride facility would be better alongside a new station at Addison, adjacent to Takanini Town Centre.

A new station at Addison should take higher priority over upgrade of both Te Mahia and Takanini Stations.

TUESDAY, 24 APRIL 2012 9:00 - Colin Thompson

Cycleways have been omitted from the balance equation. The emphasis on roads in particular is not neutral to walking and cycling, but deleterious.

Encourage a higher focus on cycleways.

Existing Auckland Cycle Network is quite deficient. Lack of commitment demonstrated by funding allocation of 0.8% to cycling and walking.

9:10 - Cycle Action Auckland, (Barbara Cuthbert)

Given the strategic fit of cycle projects to the priority focus areas, the RLTP should not again propose “business as usual” funding allocation of 0.8% to walking and cycling, and no dedicated cycle projects in the “key priorities”.

Seek increase in walking/cycling above 0.8% CAPEX funding target: request that walking/cycling receive 5% of transport rates.

Projects discussed for walking and cycling do not correspond with funding set out in the document.

Require more information to be able to plan progress on regional cycle network.

Support the following cycling-specific projects, or seek inclusion in budget/implementation programmes: Beach Road, City Centre Masterplan, NZ Cycle Trail, Public bike hire scheme, Auckland Harbour Bridge pathway, Tamaki Drive safety improvements, Pinch Point priority programme.

Support the following roading projects with significant cycle facilities: Albany Highway, Tiverton-Wolverton, AMETI, Dominion Road.

Support rail projects; ask that cycling be considered as key part of station and electrification works.

Support ferry terminal improvements, and ask that cycle access be included in upgrades.

Concerned about East Tamaki-Onehunga route upgrade (to motorway standard) being included without sufficient assessment.

9:30 - Otara – Papatoetoe Local Board, (John McCracken) (Ian McGechie)

Broadly supports the 4 priority focus areas.

However, improvements to City Centre accessibility should not be at expense of the rest of the region.

Support PT improvements, especially park and ride and bus priorities, upgrading access to airport, improving arterials; comprehensive reviews of bus services in Mangere and Otara; measures to facilitate freight movement, especially connections between East Tamaki and airport; walking and cycling initiatives; prioritisation of high-risk communities and road users for safety education and enforcement.


Page 38 of 52

Would like to see parking better managed in town centres, particularly Manukau city centre.

Request that local road renewal and maintenance funding allocations are split into local board areas to enable boards to assess equity and ability to achieve required level of service.

Supports Ormiston/Preston/East Tamaki intersection upgrade.

Suggest investigation of possible solutions to congestion at SH1 East Tamaki Road northbound off-ramp.

Recommend advocacy to NZTA for extra lanes on SH1 southbound Manukau-Papakura

Supports .provision of walking and cycling infrastructure. Including Puhinui Road.

Recommends review of all bus routes in the Board‟s area, and investigation of increased east-west PT connectivity between Papatoetoe, Otara and East Tamaki.

Supports early implementation of SWAMMCP and AMETI projects. 9:40 - Massey University, (Justine Bray)

Amend meeting demand section to recognise economic contribution from tertiary education sector.

Supports desire to increase walking and cycling but also address safety issues with these modes.

Consider completing larger “spines” of the regional cycle network, rather than current fragmented approach.

Supports addition to cycle network on Albany Highway, but this needs to be completed within accelerated programme.

Need to provide a transport hub in Albany, and willing to discuss making land available.

Supports bus priority measures and ongoing service enhancements as a priority project.

Supports Albany Highway upgrade (including cycle infrastructure) but construction timeframe needs to be accelerated.

Supports Albany Colisseum Drive Link, but should be included in 2012-2015 programme and construction coordinated with Albany Highway upgrade.

10:00 - The Greenways Project Incorporated, (Stephen Smythe)

Strongly support CRL but believe $2.8 billion price tag far too expensive.

Disproportionate amount of money directed to roads.

Support $85m over next 10 years being spent on walking and cycling, however difficult to determine what projects this will be used for.

Request funding be set aside to enable Greenways projects to be undertaken and completed:

o Tamaki Tourist Trail ($7m);

o Purewa Valley ($15m);

o Ponsonby Road ($350,000); and

o Whau West Greenway ($10m)


Page 39 of 52

Strongly support promotion of active t.ravel choices such as walking and cycling. However, document is silent on measures used to encourage walking and cycling.

Would assist if AT adopted a series of guidelines which all walking and cycling projects were assessed against.

Include reference to specific priority to walking and cycling on arterials (p23).

Need to be able to quantify “upgraded” (p25). 10:20 - Te Ora o Manukau (Na Lee-Cherie King)

Member of Maori Steering Group of Auckland University research project - Transport Patterns and Whanau Ora.

Recommend budget set aside to enable Te Ora o Manukau to partner with Maori and Council to implement research project recommendations:

o Ensure greater representation of Maori in development and implementation of regional transport strategies;

o Mitigate impacts of policies that limit affordability of car ownership or car travel;

o Improve accessibility and safety of public transport for Maori;

o Develop small, community PT services, including marae-based transport;

o Develop measures to increase walking/cycling for whanau ora in communities; and

o Develop strategies and programmes to assist young Maori to attain full drivers licence.

10:30 - Geoff Houtman

Plan fails to deal with air pollution. Would like to see what AT has in mind for cleaning up the air in Auckland.

Suggest small remedial actions such as return of ARC‟s 0800 SMOKEY line; “no idling” bylaw for trucks, buses, couriers, taxis; less traffic lights, more roundabouts, trams rather than diesel buses.

AMETI: why no rail line illustrated? (Fig 3.5).

Priorities: CRL is essential.

Oppose AMETI which is mostly about more trucking; additional harbour crossing, Puhoi-Wellsford Motorway, Graton Gully truckway.

HPMV: do figures include additional roading costs: should incentivise freight onto rail.

Given funding gap, prudent thing to do is only the most important projects: CRL and rail electrification.

11:00 - Heart of the City, (Greg McKeown) (TBC)

More information needed on “multi-modal solutions”.

Support CRL subject to significant Government funding.

More needs to be done in city centre than projects listed, including new bus priorities, possible changes to Nelson, Hobson and Fanshawe Streets, and progressing development of a modern Auckland-branded city centre PT system.

Need clarity on where central city buses will operate, and areas that will be protected from buses.


Page 40 of 52

Possible city centre LRT: need more clarity on what is planned and what has been decided. Can‟t see funding for this in Chapter 9.

Welcome more constrained approach to early bird parking, but need more clarity on park‟n ride.

Ports review: references to transport development for Port should be made subject to the outcome of the ports review, which could involve very different transport connections to the Port.

Only city centre funding commitment 2012-15 appears to be CRL.

No Master plan for Quay St and central wharves.

Switch toward roading is inconsistent with overall strategic approach.

Question whether “one system” approach is working on SH20.

Question some aspects of AMETI, especially roading components.

Some big ticket items should be reviewe.d

Get Across project should be listed along with proposed funding sources.

Note separate submission to Council on funding options. Support regional fuel tax and proportion of GST/sales tax.

LTP Transport submission: Draft CCMP does not articulate a clear transport plan for city centre.

11:10 - Universal Design Research Group

Design of products and environments should be useable by all people, without need for adaptation

Dismayed that access to RLTP not available in formats accessible to many disabled people

Recommend statement in RLTP that AT will adhere to universal design principles in all areas of transport vehicles, built environment and landscape and information and communications systems within its control

Recommend AT adopt the Universal Design Package

Commission a study to fully explore usability problems for groups using PT 11:20 - Springleigh Residents Association, (Hiltrud Gruger)

Increased PT to reduce congestion and CO2 emissions.

Mitigation for communities that are affected by transport proposals.

Funding Richardson Road and Stoddard Road in Owairaka to retain residential character that is lost due to SH20.

11:30 - Ron Davis

Cancel CRL and Airport railway – excessive. Use buses. 11:40 - Upper Harbour Local Board, (Karen Marais)

Statement of priorities is somewhat hollow and meaningless. Safety should be higher up the list.

32.4% funding split for PT is misleading as assumes Government will contribute to CRL.


Page 41 of 52

Major projects: rail electrification: does Auckland have capacity to supply power?

CRL; strongly opposed; timing inappropriate and not affordable at this time.

Other major projects acceptable or supported (AMETI acceptable with rephrasing).

Include additional harbour crossing, Penlink and Puhoi to Wellsford motorway as major regional projects in this cycle.

Major projects next cycle:

o remove CRL;

o shift out development of cycleways along SH corridors and SW airport multi-modal corridor, as not high priority;

o bring forward Puhoi-Wellsford motorway, Additional Waitemata Harbour crossing (investigation), busway extension to Hibiscus Coast (designation), Penlink (commencement); and

o Other projects supported, except red light camera installation.

Detailed comments on local projects listed in submission. Budget and timing generally supported, except:

o Rosedale/Greville busway station: more evidence required as to necessity;

o Bring forward East Coast Bus priority, Albany SH17/Spencer Road intersection (brought forward and phased), Albany Lonely Track Road/Gills Road intersection; and

o Seeks assurance that agreement with NZTA to progress Colisseum Drive Link will be fulfilled.

11:50 - St Marys Bay Association

Concern at route of proposed Waitemata Harbour tunnel.

Welcome decision to build a tunnel as preferred crossing, but strongly believe proposed route should be opened to further debate, including a more easterly route.

12:00 - Karen Riordan

Insufficient spend on improving cycling lanes on busy roads such as Whitford rural roads.

Disagree with emphasis on central projects, seemingly at the expense of local projects previously included in Manukau City programme but appear to be withdrawn.

Concerned that Whitford Park Road upgrade profiled as LLL. Heavy quarry and landfill traffic necessitate upgrading without delay.

12:15 - Rodney Local Board, (Kathryn Martin)

Seal extensions: request confirmation of a reasonable programme of seal extensions in Rodney, with specifically allocated budgets. (Priority seal extensions listed in submission).

Priority footpath construction/resealing projects (listed in submission.

Walking and cycleway projects: support SH1 Warkworth walking and cycling, query why it would not receive NZTA funding.


Page 42 of 52

Major roading projects supported as follows:

o Warkworth MOU projects: bring forward SH1/McKinney, SH1/Hill and SH1/Hudson to 2012/13, and progress western collector route;

o Puhoi-Wellsford motorway (with access at Puhoi): funding supported;

o Waimauku roundabout;

o Centennial Park Road/SH1 intersection: bring forward;

o Give priority to Te Hana Mainstreet improvements; and

o Support Penlink.

Strongly supports construction of next and final level of Warkworth car park building.

Concerned that Fig 3.1 does not extend beyond Orewa.

Supports proposals for third Waitemata harbour crossing over and above airport rail link. Puhoi to Wellsford motorway and Penlink supported over major central roading projects

Unclear whether. all Rodney LB resolved transport priorities have been addressed in detailed funding requests, and suggest inclusion in 3-6 year timeframe, including: construction of Mansel Drive bridge in Warkworth, specific priority footpath construction projects, Waimauku roundabout construction, Mainstreet improvements at Te Hana, Warkworth car park building.

Requests details of safety budgets for Rodney, and further information on how the RLTP will affect levels of service. Insufficient project detail by local board area.

Requests assurance of sufficient funding for maintenance of rural roads. 12:30 - Otahuhu Mainstreet & Commercial Assoc. Inc., (Graham Mullins)

Otahuhu railway station upgrade and transportation hub development.

Provision of park and ride and better connection to town centre. 12:40 - Hobsonville Land Company, (Katja Lietz)

Supports priority 4.1 and urges AT to ensure this is supported by adequate funding of PT in the Northern Strategy Growth Area.

From information provided, not possible to judge if funding is adequate to ensure good frequencies on local bus services, and the Hobsonville Point to Downtown ferry service.

1:30 - Janine Pratt

Auckland is no longer focused on Queen Street, therefore funding for CRL and other city centre initiatives should be removed.

Like to see Whenuapai footpaths/cycleway project completed (Kauri Road and remainder of Brigham Creek Road).

1:40 - NZ Automobile Association, (Simon Lambourne)

Concerned that Draft RLTP created before Council finalised LTP, and therefore likely to change. Need to be able to provide feedback on the actual programme of works planned.

Strongly support statement about missing strategic and arterial links.

Concerned that road safety goal is inadequate.

Surprised that city centre projects list does include turning Queen Street into a pedestrian boulevard with trams.


Page 43 of 52

Support commitment to completing Western Ring Route, progressing AMETI, extending motorway Puhoi-Wellsford, progressing alternative harbour crossing, and completing SH1 Hill Rd to Papakura.

Believe Penlink should be included as a priority project.

Does not include adequate protection for northern corridor Auckland-Whangarei.

Concerned by prioritisation of rail ahead of significant improvements to bus infrastructure and services, and don‟t believe RLTP has adequately supported improvements to ferry infrastructure and services.

Concern at statement that arterial network will give priority to PT, freight, HOVs and walking/cycling, as majority of trips will still be by private car.

Support improved traffic signal coordination.

Welcome statements on red light cameras, but concern at failure to prioritise funding for this programme.

Caution about commitment to current regional parking strategy, which needs to be reviewed.

Disappointed that only 0.7% of funding allocated to road safety promotion, and that Auckland seeks only 19% of national funding allocation for road safety.

Concern at level of priority projects in years 4-10 which are unlikely to receive funding.

Does not support inadequate funding for regional road corridor safety. 1:50 - Waitemata Local Board (Pipa Coom) (Christopher Dempsey)

Support for the following projects: rail electrification; CRL; integrated ticketing; AMETI, route protection for airport rail; increased road policing resources; additional Waitemata Harbour Crossing.

Requests that AT give effect to priorities and projects: reprioritisation of spending from new roading projects to walking and cycling; improving pedestrian and cycle safety; quality street design; re-prioritisation of road space away from parking; improved PT (including trams and light rail); making Hobson and Nelson Streets two-way; pathway for cycling over AHB.

Supports projects in City Centre Master Plan and Waterfront Plan missing from RLTP.

Several other detailed comments by RLTP section.

Concerns over process matters relating to AT engagement with local boards, and difficulty in understanding some of the project descriptions in the Draft RLTP.

Concern that AT is not delivering on Local Board Plans and Agreements.

2:00 - Gavin Logan

CRL needs to be deferred or scrapped unless central government can be convinced to pay the total cost. CRL does not warrant the price. Support electrification but not further spending on heavy rail.

$4 billion on PT projects is too much in current economic climate. Needs to be reduced and bulk of expenditure should be on improving bus services.


Page 44 of 52

2:10 - Unitec Institute of Technology (6943)

Supports general direction of RLTP which emphasises a one system approach.

Supports electrification of rail, upgrade of Mt Albert station, proposed CRLK, improvements to North-western Cycleway.

Seek investigation of feasibility and benefits of a cross-site link at Unitec Mt Albert campus.

Ensure a good connection to Unitec Mt Albert campus from proposed Waterview Cycleway.

Little focus on improvements to QTN, and no specific initiatives to improve the QTN in the Mt Albert area. No budget for Carrington Rd improvements as part of QTN.

Little mention of bus priorities on Gt North Road.

2:20 - Auckland District Council of Social Services (Angela Maynard)

See PT as a very high priority. Would like to see less expenditure on roads and footpaths and more on PT especially trains and ferries.

Strongly agree with CRL.

Would like to see increased priority given to ferry and train projects, such as rail link to airport, CRL, increased ferry connections where possible, and long term, the Southdown-Avondale rail link, and in the short term the Westfield Diamond link to enable a circuit between the southern and eastern lines.

2:30 - Wallace Group, (Bruce Wallace)

Funding for a new park and ride station in the Walters Road area should be budgeted for in the next 10 years.

Porchester Road upgrades should be delivered earlier than 2017 to realise growth potential in the area and coincide with Mill Road and Manuroa/Takanini School Road upgrades.

Expand Takanini park and ride to “new Takanini park and ride station in Walters Road area.

Plan and implement an east-west connection over railway line in next 10 years, and improve existing at-grade crossing at Walters Road.

2:40 - TONEA Investments, (Marijike Ransom)

Funding for a new park and ride station in the Walters Road area should be budgeted for in the next 10 years.

Porchester Road upgrades should be delivered earlier than 2017 to realise growth potential in the area and coincide with Mill Road and Manuroa/Takanini School Road upgrades.

Improvements to rail level crossing at Walters Road for pedestrian safety should be budgeted within 2012-2015 RLTP.

Plan and implement an east-west connection over railway line in next 10 years, and improve existing at-grade crossing at Walters Road.

2:50 - Runwild Trust, (Roy Williams) (Marijike Ransom)

Generally support Hibiscus and Bays Local Board priorities for next 10 years.

Allocate funding for Penlink in 2013/2014 rather than 2018/2019.

Reallocate spending on Whangaparaoa Road widening towards Penlink, which would render widening unnecessary.


Page 45 of 52

3:20 - June Morice

Oppose deferral of repairs and maintenance for Pukekohe Railway Station. Must be done urgently and not wait until a decision on electrification.

Request inclusion of funds to evaluate the best alternative road to the east/north east of Pukekohe.

3:30 - Anne Reyes

Oppose deferral of repairs and maintenance for Pukekohe Railway Station. Must be done urgently and not wait until a decision on electrification.

Request inclusion of funds to evaluate the best alternative road to the east/north east of Pukekohe.

3:40 - Parnell Community Committee, (Luke Niue) (TBC)

Agree that environmental and public health effects are a key challenge, and feel that increasing movement of containers on fringe of Parnell by road and rail are impacting on Parnell‟s living environment.

RLTP should contain objective of working with NZTA to accelerate investigation/planning phase of completion of SH16 to the Port.

3:50 - Morris & James Ltd, (Kieran Rice)

Expenditure level on transport is too high.

Expenditure needs to be on roading rather than rail. City needs strong roading network for business, private and public transport.

Too much CBD focus: vast majority of journeys are not to the CBD. Roading network with buses provides a better way of managing these journeys, and provides more flexibility.

Rail connection to the Airport is not appropriate. Can be covered by bus.

Technology solutions involving monitoring and optimising traffic flows may get a better result.

Re: Hill Street (Warkworth), the Western collector should be put in first. A walking bridge over SH1 at Hill Street would also reduce demand on the intersection.

Agree with RLTP priorities except CRL.

Access to the north can be best served by bypasses to Warkworth and Wellsford, extending passing lanes on SH1 and improvements on SH1 and SH17 so there is a credible alternative route.

4:00 - Kerry Payne

Need to allocate funding for investigation of the Pathway proposal, and construction of AHB Pathway within next 2 year period.

4:10 - Campaign For Better Transport, (Cameron Pitches)

Should attempt to reconcile previous 2009 RLTP with programme contained in current draft.

Draft RLTP does not highlight how Auckland Plan targets will be achieved. “Transformational shift” sought in Auckland Plan is not carried through to the RLTP to the extent necessary. Projects should be prioritised based on contribution to “transformational shift”.

RLTP should give effect to RLTS 50/50 funding split between roads and other forms of transport.


Page 46 of 52

Proposed funding for PT subsidies in LTP doesn‟t match RLTP: numbers need to be clarified.

Project prioritisation should place greater emphasis on projects that reduce pollution and reduce consumption of fossil fuels.

Projects that should be added:

o Investigation and design of busway along SH16 Westgate-Waterview;

o Funding for infrastructure improvements arising from changes to structure of PT network;

o Funding to cover short term revenue losses during implementation of zone-based fares;

o More emphasis on connected cycle lanes for commuting; more pedestrianisation of CBD;

o Rail to airport should be better defined as rail extension from Onehunga to Mangere, then airport;

o Support AMETI but would like to see longer term planning for rail;

o Extension of Wynyard Quarter tram to Britomart and beyond; and

o No work towards Avondale Southdown rail corridor in RLTP.

Support inclusion of CRL

Remove projects: Hayman Park Carpark, and poorly located park and ride proposals

4:20 - Waterfront Auckland, (John Dalzell)

Supports activities listed in section 9, but requests inclusion of all transport projects listed in Waterfront Plan (listed in submission).

Support transport priorities in section 4, but request that Waterfront Plan‟s transport projects be included to support land use/transport integration, and increase city centre accessibility.

Support priority to enhance efficiency of regional freight network, but request that initiatives to resolve transport challenges around eastern Grafton be included.

4:35 - Richard Brown

Need to fix bottlenecks on current motorways and make all arterial routes 2 lanes each way before committing billions to rail.

Fascination with trains is a waste of money. Fix the roads first – they already exist.

CRL is wasted money, as are cycle and walk ways in a city of ever changing weather.

By penalising motorists and clogging roads, buses suffer too.

Integrated ticketing is a must.
