Waterview-Boi-Draft-Report-Comments
ANNEXURE A2 Proposed Designation and Consent Conditions 23 June 2011 Note: Clean copy including further amendments now proposed by the NZTA in its Comments on the draft Decision Report. Explanation The following integrated set of Conditions relates to designation and resource consents for the construction, operation and maintenance of the Waterview Connection Project (The Project). The Project includes: 1. The motorway extension of SH20 from Maioro Street (New Windsor) to connect with SH16 at the Great North Road Interchange, including two tunnels through the Mt Albert / Avondale; and 2. The upgrading of the Northwestern Motorway (SH16) increasing its capacity (for private vehicles and improved bus lanes), and raising it to improve the resilience of the State highway network. The Project will take place within the designation boundaries outlined as Notice of Requirement 202 in the Auckland District Plan and as Notice of Requirement NZTA1 in the Waitakere District Plan. The majority of works of the Project falling within the designated footprint are authorised by the various designations. However, the following key areas of the Project are subject to a further Outline Plan of Works approval: 1. Northern ventilation building and stack (OPW1 – as shown on Figure DC.A)); and 2. Southern ventilation building and stack (OPW2 – as shown on Figure DC.B). A number of supporting documents have been prepared for the designations and resource consents, including an Assessment of Environmental Effects, a suite of Specialist Technical Reports and a Construction Environmental Management Plan (CEMP) (a full suite of these documents and plans is set out in Condition DC.1). -
Enews : Cycle Action – the Voice for Auckland Cyclists
Cycle Action eNews October 2009 Cycling is an integral part of a vibrant and liveable city That was the message Joel Cayford conveyed at the Cycle Action Auckland AGM held at Bike Central in September. Joel encouraged Cycle Action to continue with the excellent work it has been doing in promoting cycling in Auckland and in the media. He also emphasised the effectiveness of letter writing to the media as an advocacy tool. This excellent work is guaranteed to continue with the election of an extremely competent committee led by the newly elected Chair, Mark Bracey and supported by Barbara Cuthbert (Deputy Chair) and Barbara Insull (Secretary). Mark has been active within the organisation for many years and is looking forward to making a significant contribution over the next 12 months. Mark has first hand knowledge of cycling issues because he has been cycling all his life. He is able to recall riding a bike as a normal part of life while growing up in Auckland. He laments the fact that his own children are currently missing the experiences of freedom and independence that cycling offered to him when he was growing up. The Cycle Action committee would also like to acknowledge all the members and friends who have expressed support over the last week. As unfortunate as it is for the cyclists injured in the Tamaki Drive crash, this incident has highlighted the barriers to turning Auckland into the first class city that Joel Cayford describes. Please take the time to read this edition of eNews to see what events are happening and how you can help. -
Discovering the Hindrance of Walking and Cycling in Auckland’S Urban Form
DISCOVERING THE HINDRANCE OF WALKING AND CYCLING IN AUCKLAND’S URBAN FORM. MEYER NEESON A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Urban Design at the University of Auckland, 2020. Abstract Active transport is a fundamental element in a city’s movement network that promotes a sustainable and resilient urban future, yet can only be viable in an urban setting that supports small-scale infrastructure with appropriate street environments. The 1950’s planning regimes have been dominant within Auckland’s transport development with perpetuated traditional aims of increased efficiency and high level infrastructure which enables travel in the comfort of a private vehicle. Attitudes have formulated the urban fabric through funding and investment intervention which resulted in a strong motorway network and low density, sprawling residential suburbs. Psychological public response to this environment is reflected in the heavy reliance on the private vehicle and low rates of walking and cycling. Although Auckland’s transport framework identifies the need for walking and cycling to actively form a strand of Auckland’s transport network, institutional and intellectual embedded ideas of the 1950’s prevent implementation on the ground. The failure of Auckland’s urban form was highlighted in the period of the Covid-19; post lockdown the public reverted back to old transport habits when restrictions were lifted. This pandemic put our city in the spotlight to identify its shortfalls and the urgent need to support a resilient future. Therefore, this research aims to discover the inherent infrastructure and funding barriers that hinder the growth of walking and cycling as a transport method in Auckland. -

Ipenz Transportation Group Conference 2016 Research Paper: Evaluating the Factors Which Encourage Cycling Facility Use by Tertia
Tertiary Students Cycling in Auckland Rowan De Costa & Athul Harris Page 0 IPENZ TRANSPORTATION GROUP CONFERENCE 2016 RESEARCH PAPER: EVALUATING THE FACTORS WHICH ENCOURAGE CYCLING FACILITY USE BY TERTIARY STUDENTS IN AUCKLAND CITY Authors: Bevan Clement BCA, MBA IPENZ Transportation Group, Professional Teaching Fellow, Faculty of Engineering, University of Auckland [email protected] Rowan De Costa Graduate Civil & Environmental Engineering BE(Hons) The University of Auckland [email protected] Athul Harris Graduate Transportation Engineer Civil & Environmental Engineering BE(Hons) The University of Auckland [email protected] ABSTRACT Cycling is a growing phenomenon as people recognise the need for sustainable forms of transport. It is becoming a popular mode of transport in many developed cities around the globe. This research project seeks to identify the key attributes, which influence tertiary students cycling to university and prioritise them. The top five most influential factors affecting non- cyclists were found to be weather, distance to destination, travel time, secure bike parking and availability of dedicated cycle ways (most to least influential). The ‘Availability of Dedicated Cycle Ways’ factor was ranked within the top five by non-cyclists unlike the cyclists (the remaining four factors were common for both groups), demonstrating a critical difference in perception. Changing perception to cycling being seen as a viable form of transport, improving infrastructure and educating the general public about use of cycling facilities will have an immense impact on the number of students choosing to cycle to university. The universities could focus on making bike parking more secure, strategic placement of parking facilities to reduce chances of theft and improved surveillance of bike parking facilities.
