  • 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.

  • Auckland Transport Alignment Project April 2018
    Auckland Transport Alignment Project April 2018 Foreword I welcome the advice provided by the Auckland Transport Alignment Project (ATAP). The ATAP package is a transformative transport programme. Investment in transport shapes our city’s development and is a key contributor to economic, social and environmental goals. The direction signalled in this update is shared by Government and Auckland Council and demonstrates our commitment to working together for a better Auckland. Auckland is facing unprecedented population growth, and over the next 30 years a million more people will call Auckland home. Growth brings opportunities but when combined with historic under- investment in infrastructure the strain on the Auckland transport system is unrelenting. Existing congestion on our roads costs New Zealand’s economy $1.3b annually. We need to do things differently to what has been done in the past. Auckland needs a transport system that provides genuine choice for people, enables access to opportunities, achieves safety, health and environmental outcomes and underpins economic development. Our aspiration must be to make sure Auckland is a world class city. Auckland’s success is important not just for Aucklanders, but for our country’s long-term growth and productivity. The Government and Auckland Council have agreed to a transformative and visionary plan. ATAP is a game-changer for Auckland commuters and the first-step in easing congestion and allowing Auckland to move freely. I believe this ATAP package marks a significant step in building a modern transport system in Auckland. ATAP accelerates delivery of Auckland’s rapid transit network, with the aim of unlocking urban development opportunities, encourages walking and cycling, and invests in public transport, commuter and freight rail and funds road improvements.

  • Submission of the Campaign for Better Transport on Waterview Connection Project
    Environmental Protection Authority Waterview Connection project PO Box 10720 The Terrace Wellington 6143 Submission of the Campaign for Better Transport on Waterview Connection Project 1. Introduction: The Campaign for Better Transport (CBT) is a non-politically aligned group that advocates for sustainable transport policies and projects throughout Auckland and the rest of New Zealand. The CBT regularly advocates for better alignment between land- use planning and its effects on the transport network, better public transport and better walking and cycling facilities. 2. Summary of Submission: The CBT generally opposes the Waterview Connection project. This is for a number of reasons that will be further detailed in this submission. In short: - It is questionable whether the project will achieve the objectives that NZTA have highlighted. - The proposed bus shoulder lanes along State Highway 16 are an inadequate gesture to provide high quality “Quality Transit Network” standard public transport along this route. Suggestions to improve the quality of the lanes are detailed further in the submission. - Further public transport improvements on local arterial roads must form part of this project package, to ensure that the traffic benefits of the project are “locked in” and not lost to induced demand. - Extensions and improvements to the proposed cycle paths are required to ensure the project contributes to multi-modal transport benefits. - The widening of State Highway 16 must be questioned and reassessed, as the documentation accompanying the application states it will not bring any congestion relief benefits – but will cause significant environmental effects. It is also noted that the State Highway 16 works have been “snuck into” this application – which is generally presented as only the Waterview Connection.

  • Enews : Cycle Action – the Voice for Auckland Cyclists
    Cycle Action eNews March 2010 Cycling is on a roll! From the Chair Whether you are currently enjoying the pleasures of cycling or still thinking about getting your bike out, 2010 is looking very promising for you. Take time to enjoy this new bumper edition of Cycle Action Auckland's eNews (we were aiming for six editions a year - but at the moment, we seem to be going for three double-sized ones instead). So read about all the cycling events that have been taking place in Auckland over the summer as well as the exciting cycling projects that are in the pipeline. And finally, help us "get more people on bikes more often" by passing this eNews on to all your friends and family. After all, cycling is common sense! Cycling champions of BikeWise Month February's BikeWise month was a biggie for cycling and Cycle Action Auckland. In addition to joining all the regular events, Cycle Action organised four rides all across the region, and we were stunned by the large number of first time riders who joined us (a challenge for novice event organisers - but also a sign that cycling is now making a comeback amongst those who were only thinking about it before!). Two champions deserve public accolades as star BikeWise performers: Debbie Lang - North Shore's Sustainable Transport Co-ordinator took BikeWise into the stratosphere with a spectacular and original programme of events. She has so many new riders meeting to cycle and have fun that she is struggling to keep up with their enthusiasm.

  • AGM and Annual Report 30 September 2010
    AGM and Annual Report 30 September 2010 Cycle Action Auckland is an incorporated registered charity with the objective of promoting cycling as a non-congesting, non-polluting, energy-efficient and health-promoting form of transport for the Auckland region. Cycle Action is affiliated to Cycling Advocates’ Network (CAN), a national voice for cyclists. 5 2 Hepburn St, Freemans Bay PO Box 91-301, Auckland www.caa.org.nz It has been another busy and productive year for Cycle Action. I invite you to spend some time going through the summary of activities and achievements listed below. I can guarantee that you, a family member or a colleague is already enjoying the benefits of the work undertaken by Cycle Action. The name of the organisation has never been a better fit. There has been a whole lot of action going on. And this is just the tip of the iceberg. A lot of the projects that Cycle Action has been involved in this year are long term and on-going projects. The benefits of these projects are yet to be realised but will be coming on stream in the near future. The establishment and building of relationships with a wide variety of people and organisations is also starting to pay huge dividends. More and more, we are seeing cycling becoming mainstream. It's what ordinary people do. There may be an item on the list that particularly catches your eye or maybe you see a glaring omission. Cycle Action is a voluntary group that relies on the skills and efforts of a bunch of enthusiastic individuals.

  • Cycle Action Auckland Enews June 2010 Page 1 Sydney Study - Cycling No Image: Yewenyi, Flickr, CC-BY-NC2.0 License Luxury Investment
    Cycle Action eNews June 2010 Come on in, the water is warm! From the Chair Or should that be: The wind is from the back? Cycling in Auckland, never as unpleasant as some make it out to be, is getting better, bigger, brighter! This newest issue of our newsletter contains a lot of good news - from the great results of the last cycle counts over significant progress on various infrastructure projects to avant-garde happenings like Auckland’s own Cycle Style event coming up in July. So whether you are just grabbing the odd sunny winter day for a casual cycle, or ride on through despite the occasional shower, you will know that you were a part of what turned this city around and made cycling normal again. And now, without further ado: Cycling Numbers Up Strongly! We have all been noticing it, but now it’s official - cycling is on the rise again!. The ARTA cycle counts in March 2010 showed a whopping 27% increase in cycling over the whole region, with Auckland City coming from behind to reach the highest gains at plus 40%! Rodney and Manukau also showed great increases at plus 39% and plus 36%. Cycle Action sees a "perfect storm" of positive changes at work: more cycle infrastructure is being built, and cyclists are being considered during road upgrades - while at the same time that the public is becoming more aware of cycling as a healthy, cheap way to avoid congested roads and costly car running. The 11% increase in surveyed people who feel cycling is a safe way of travelling in Auckland also make us conclude that we are slowly breaking an undeserved fear of cycling.

  • [For Cycle Action Auckland Contact Details, Please See Undersigned] Thursday, 14 October 2010 Section 1 Submission on the Waterv
    [for Cycle Action Auckland contact details, please see undersigned] Thursday, 14 October 2010 Section 1 Submission on the Waterview Connection Proposal This document forms the “attached information” part of Cycle Action Auckland's submission, as referred to on pages 6 and 7 of our submission form. Our submission applies to the entire proposal, which we oppose in part. This reflects the complexity of the proposal, the lack of adequate time to thoroughly review the extensive documentation, and the fact that our submission spans all sector areas of the proposal. However, to assist the Board of Inquiry with the hearings process, including pre-hearing discussion, we note that we are: Particularly interested in the following aspects of the proposal: • Cycling and walking • Public transport • Landscaping and urban design Neutral on most other aspects, including being neutral on: • Works and structures not directly related to transport (vent buildings, drainage and outfall structures and similar) • Temporary works or structures (except where they may negatively impact on existing cycling provision) • Discharge / contamination / emissions issues • Marine / coastal / foreshore issues • Stormwater / groundwater issues Our focus on cycling (and related issues, including public transport) is due to our specific role as an advocacy group, as set out in the following Section 2 of the submission. Section 3 discusses our overarching submission matters, while Section 4 covers specific matters by project sector. Both contain highlighted paragraphs summarising what we would like the Board of Inquiry to modify regarding the Waterview Connection Proposal. Cycle Action Auckland is an incorporated registered charity with the objective of promoting cycling as a non-congesting, non-polluting, energy-efficient and health-promoting form of transport for the Auckland region.

    THE AUCKLAND CYCLING ACCOUNT A snapshot of cycling in Auckland in 2016 i WHAT IS THE AUCKLAND CYCLING ACCOUNT? The Auckland Cycling Account is a snapshot of #AKLBIKELIFE in 2016. This is the second year we have produced this book to tell the story of cycling in Auckland over the past year. Inside are highlights of 2016 including case studies and interesting facts. For a more in-depth look at the statistics reported here, please see our reference list at AT.govt.nz/cyclingreports. Funding partners: 1 2 CELEBRATING 2016 This year has been another big one for cycling in Auckland as you will see from the pages in this report. We are now half way through our three year Urban Cycleway Funded programme, a joint investment with the New Zealand Transport Agency, the Ministry of Transport and Auckland Council. The funding Auckland receives through this programme means we can build high-quality cycling infrastructure much more quickly and create real transport choices for Aucklanders. We have seen a significant increase in the number of people taking to two wheels all over the network in Auckland – a sure sign that if you build it they will come. As well as constructing more of the crucial central city links, this year has also been about community infrastructure and getting people safely and comfortably around their local area. This year we have opened new networks in Mt Roskill and Mangere and local people are out in force on their bikes. This year has also been an important one for us hearing from the community about how they want to see the cycling network unfold around the city.
