Have Your Say

on cycling, walking, Have bus stop and bus lane improvements in the your wider Grey Lynn, Arch Hill say... and Westmere areas

Auckland Transport is proposing improvements for pedestrians, people on bikes and bus users on four routes: • Route 1: Surrey Crescent to Garnet Road • Route 2: Richmond Road • Route 3: Greenways (Richmond Road to Great North Road) • Route 4: Great North Road

Public feedback for all four routes is open until midnight Sunday 9 October 2016. J001614_KH_08.2016 Image supplied by NZ Transport Agency What will we do with your feedback? What are we seeking We will: • Consider all feedback and use it to help refine the feedback on? designs for each route

We want your feedback to help us improve the design • Prepare a report on the feedback received for each Image supplied by NZ Transport Agency route, which will be posted on the project webpage. of these routes. In the case of Route 1 (Surrey Cresent to The report will include any changes made to the Garnet Road), your feedback will also help us decide on proposal following the feedback period. If you provide the most suitable cycleway option before we progress your contact details when you give us feedback you will to the detailed design phase of the project. be notified when the report is available. Each route has different improvements proposed Feedback and therefore separate feedback forms. We welcome from the public Further feedback on all or any of the routes. Other projects investigations

Sunday 9 October. The improvements will be constructed on all routes by the end of 2018. Previous public feedback About this booklet In March 2016, Auckland Transport (AT) sought public This booklet provides an overview and a summary of feedback for the area between Pt Chevalier and the city the improvements proposed for each route. For more fringe (bounded by the Northwestern motorway and the details (including design plans and discounted options) sea). Our intent was to identify and improve the key cycle and to give us your feedback, please go to routes that connect people with their places of work, AT.govt.nz/haveyoursay local shops, schools, tertiary institutions, parks and other If you would like us to post you more detailed community facilities. The feedback we received strongly information or design plans for any of the routes, supported AT’s proposed network of cycling routes. please call us on (09) 355 3553. AT then revised the network and is now beginning to implement it; these four routes are part of the programme Why this area? identified to be implemented by the end of 2018. In terms of people on bikes, the Inner West is already During the previous feedback period people also identified one of the busiest parts of Auckland and has a lot of issues/concerns that put them off cycling. These were potential for cyclist number to grow. By prioritising this investigated and where appropriate addressed when area for cycling improvements, we are catering to those designing each of these routes. Further information who currently cycle and encouraging others to consider about how we took previous public feedback on board cycling as an option for them. is available on the project webpages.

We have developed two different improvement options for this route (see next page), and would like your feedback on both of these options to help us improve the designs and choose the most suitable option. Image supplied by NZ Transport Agency Route 1: Surrey Crescent to Garnet Road CONTINUED.

Option A – mixed on/off-road cycle lane Both Options A and B

Heading towards the Grey Lynn shops: • Realignment of three pedestrian crossing refuge islands • A 1.5m-1.8m wide on-road cycle lane, separated from • Improvements to an existing pedestrian crossing near general traffic by a row of parked cars and some physical Stanmore Road separators • Intersection reconfigurations to improve safety for all users Heading towards Meola Road: • Bus stop improvements (where space allows) to allow cyclists A mixture of: to navigate past bus stops safely and without interruption (some potential designs for this are on our webpage) • A 1.5m-1.8m wide on-road cycle lane, separated from general traffic by a row of parked cars and some physical • No tree removal, however some tree pruning separators may be required • A 1.6m wide raised off-road cycle path on the grass berm, separated from the footpath by a small grass buffer

• Removal of approximately 40 on-street parking spaces Changes to on-street parking along the length of the route (approximately 10-15% of the available parking) To fit the new cycling facilities in, both Options A and B require removal of on-street parking spaces. Parking surveys show that the current demand for parking in the area can still be accommodated on the street or Option B – on-road cycle lane adjoining side streets with either option. Both directions: More information about where parking removal is • A 1.5m-1.8m wide on-road cycle lane, separated from proposed can be found in the design plans on the general traffic by a row of parked cars and some physical project webpage (AT.govt.nz/haveyoursay) separators • Removal of approximately 120 on-street parking spaces along the length of the route (approximately 35-40% of the available parking) • Removal of central median in some locations Image supplied by NZ Transport Agency Route 2: Richmond Road

A replacement tree will be planted elsewhere on the route. • Bus lanes physically extended at all the intersections to reduce bus interaction with general traffic and reduce journey times Why is the route through Grey Lynn shops not part of this proposal? The Grey Lynn shopping centre section of the cycling network is being treated as a separate project. There are several factors to consider when designing a connection through this area and there is no easy solution. When investigating possible options we will carefully consider the needs of people and groups with an interest in this section of Great North Road (such as people on bikes, businesses, vehicle users and bus users). This section will be considered for inclusion in our next programme of cycling projects (2019-2021), subject to funding. Our changing Auckland Auckland is growing and changing. Our roads are becoming increasingly congested and in many areas building and widening roads is no longer a feasible or cost-effective option. To keep Auckland moving we need to give people more transport choices, which means using the space we have available carefully. Transport modes such as walking, cycling and public transport can move more people within the same space as a traffic lane and are often more cost effective to construct and maintain. If we can make these modes of transport efficient, safe and appealing then we are giving people a viable alternative to the car. Over time we can increase the number of people walking, cycling and using public transport. This will help manage congestion on our roads and create streets that are more attractive and inviting for residents, businesses, shoppers and other users. Image supplied by NZ Transport Agency A city for bikes People on bikes are part of the vision for a more accessible liveable city. In December 2015, Transport Minister Simon Bridges opened Te Ara I Whiti (The Lightpath) – the colourful pink path that makes use of a disused motorway off-ramp and connects to Nelson Street Cycleway. Since opening, the path has averaged 840 cycle trips every day. This demonstrates that if we provide safe, separated cycle routes, they will attract people on bikes. Creating a connected network of cycle routes across the city is a priority for Auckland Transport, Auckland Council and the NZ Transport Agency. The three organisations are working together on a three year $200 million programme of investment in cycling to make it safer and more convenient to travel by bike. Central Government has made a significant contribution to funding through the Urban Cycleways Programme. The programme will make it easier for people to travel by bike for everyday activities, such as going to places of work, education and leisure. Further Information If you have any further questions or would like to be posted detailed information and design plans for any of the routes, please: • Call us on (09) 355 3553 • Visit www.AT.govt.nz/haveyoursay • Talk to us in person at the Grey Lynn Farmers Market (510 Richmond Road, Grey Lynn): - Sunday 25 September, 9am-12.30pm - Sunday 2 October, 9am-12.30pm
