Phase 1 of the project prepares the road (drains, roadside edge, and footpaths) and will take 9 weeks with night works for much of that.
The road will be fully closed during the day for the first week, from Sunday 21st to Sunday 28th September with a detour in place. There will also be day works for a week after that.
Phase 2 is the road rebuild and resurfacing to make it stronger and longer lasting. it will be carried out in Late December, with more info on that to come.
More information: haveyoursay.at.govt.nz...
Phase 1 includes:
• Installing new underground drains
• Replacing the old footpath and roadside drains
• Upgrading stormwater system
• Laying new concrete footpath and roadside edge
• Final resurfacing with new asphalt
• Expect traffic delays, especially during peak times. We will need to temporarily close bus stops, and some services will be affected – please use the AT mobile app or the QR codes on posters available at the effected bus stops for more information.
• Temporary vehicle access to local properties will be maintained, however this access won’t be available on the day of concrete pours and whilst the concrete cures. Residents will be contacted 24 hours prior to the concrete pours to help accommodate any specific needs. If your driveway is restricted, you will need to park nearby and walk home. On-street parking will be limited.
• Footpaths will remain accessible to local residents.
• Council waste and recycling collection will continue as normal. If access to your bin collection spot is restricted, our team will assist you with an alternative location.
• Bus stops may move, but we’ll manage access to homes. Please use the AT mobile app or posters available at the effected bus stops for more information.

I oppose the proposed congestion charging

Are you prepared to pay $5 per trip to work or school? Up to $50 per week?
The Mayor and the Government are working on introducing a charge that is supposed to reduce congestion, but will actually punish North Shore drivers and their families just trying to get to work on time. Most workers do not have the flexibility to change their working hours - to start late or work from home for an hour or two before travelling to work. And North Shore workers have less ability to avoid congestion than other parts of Auckland.
There is no guarantee that this tax will be used to improve public transport, and simply imposing another tax will not alleviate congestion. If we really want to relieve congestion in Auckland, a better option would be to make all public transport free or as close to free as possible.
