We did hope that this would be the case when more funding for the project was approved last year after my presentation to the Auckland Transport Board and after your 1000+ submissions to the emergency budget on the importance of the project.
The good news is that the RLTP lists Glenvar Road as a priority project for construction to begin in 2021/22, which isn’t too far behind the original schedule.
The draft RLTP is open for feedback until 2 May. I will be resubmitting the 2000+ submissions I gathered from you all in 2018 when we last went through this process. If you didn’t submit last time - please click on this post or head to: at.govt.nz...
Let them know how important this essential safety is!

I am looking for a roofer to replace roof and replace the eaves at the same time.

Restrictions on trading over Easter have frustrated Auckland retailers desperate for business in the wake of four Covid-19 lockdowns.

Only shops selling certain goods can legally trade on Easter Sunday, and those breaching conditions can be fined up to $1000.
But Auckland Mayor Phil Goff says critics have left it too late, as the process to change trading rules can take over a year.
Local government has had the power to rule on whether retailers can open on Easter Sunday since the National government passed the responsibility down in 2016.
Prior to this, only shops that sell necessities, such as dairies, service stations, and pharmacies, were given exemptions to trade.
Thirty-nine of the country’s 67 councils have created bylaws to date allowing retailers to open if they want, but Auckland, Wellington, and other major centres remain opposed.
Newmarket Business Association chief executive Mark Thomas said the restrictions are “ridiculous and out of date”.
“There are so many discrepancies in the law it seems a bit ludicrous,” he said.

So we're encouraging Kiwis to consider climate-friendly modes of transport such as biking, scooting and walking when making trips under two kilometres.
