NOTICE: Severe Parnell traffic disruption, school holidays and Easter
Public Service Announcement:
Please read this information even if you do not have a business in Parnell as you may be affected as a commuter.
In order to install safety measures at 3 of the pedestrian crossings, Parnell Road will be a one way system for 2-3 weeks, commencing 13th April. Not only will this affect traffic moving up and down Parnell Road, but also the Link bus services, which will be diverted via Gladstone Road.
Pedestrian Crossings:
Auckland Transport (AT) is introducing Speed Tables across Central Auckland routes to help to slow traffic and keep our communities and pedestrians safe.
AT is planning to complete the construction of three Speed Tables on Parnell Road, along with Footpath and Tactile Paver works over the Easter period. The three works sites are outside 119 Parnell Road, 167 Parnell Road and 215 Parnell Road.
Civil Works will take place from Saturday 13th of April 2019 7:00AM, to Sunday the 28th of April 2019 5:00PM. (weather dependant)
From Saturday April the 13th 05:00AM to Monday the 29th of April 5:00AM Parnell Road will be reduced to one way southbound traffic (i.e traffic going up the hill). Northbound traffic (i.e.traffic going down the hill) will be detoured via St Stevens Ave, Gladstone Road, The Strand and Parnell Rise.
Access into and out of the following side streets off Parnell Road: Akaroa St, Windsor St, Ruskin St, Tilden St, Denby St, Gilbraltar Cres, Birdwood Cres, St Georges Bay Rd and St Stephens Ave will still be available, however, this will need to be in accordance with the southbound flow.
During this time, there will be a reduction in the amount of parking available along Parnell Road.
Access to all residences and businesses will be maintained at all times, however, traffic detours will be in place during this time.
The Link bus service will be diverted accordingly. Southbound buses (i.e traffic going up the hill) will continue as normal, but Northbound buses (i.e.traffic going down the hill) will be detoured via St Stevens Ave, Gladstone Road, Please make sure you know where your nearest stop will be.

Original Art on Baseball Caps / Hats
Hello everyone,
I am presenting a limited release of hand-painted artwork on Baseball Caps. There will only be 29 caps in this range. For now, please do have a look at the first seven Caps attached. I will post more in the future as I work on them.
Price per piece = $55.00.
Fabric look/feel is suede-like (not real suede). It is a really nice quality cap. You can zoom out each photo to view better.
Adjustable backstrap with metal clasp.
NOTE: Some Caps have more than one photo to give you views from different sides (I can send you more photos if required).
Mother's Day is just two weeks away. This would make a really memorable yet practical gift for that special person. OR...get it for yourself! Just know that when you are wearing it to brunch, on your walks or at tennis/golf, YOU are the only person in the world with this original piece of wearable art ☺️.
Pickup in Remuera or happy to courier:
P&p $16.00 (with signature)
Rural addresses +$5.50.
If you want it sent overseas, I am happy to quote.
For the remaining Caps that I will be painting, if you have any suggestions that you would like to see, or if you would like to order a cap with a particular bird/flower et , I am happy to consider. No portraits please! That would be too hard on fabric 😅.
Have a lovely weekend,
Connie.
PS. I apologise for the low photo resolution as I had to resize them down to be able to post.
