Wairere Drive / Crosby Road Roundabout AECOM FOR HAMILTON CITY COUNCIL
Hamilton City Council commissioned AECOM to investigate the feasibility of a roundabout at the intersection of Wairere/Gordonton/Tramway/Crosby roads would be feasible and how it would compare to the existing design of two staggered T-intersections.
This was a complex project involving a number of different disciplines. AECOM provided acoustic modelling and design services for landscaping, transmission lines, drainage and stormwater, roading and pavement, geotech, retaining walls and structural.
A complex design was required to incorporate the large number of services operating underneath the roundabout and the need to proof these services to allow for Hamilton city’s growth.
This is a critical piece of roading infrastructure for Hamilton City, unlocking the new Wairere/E1 ring road system and providing for long term future access into Hamilton.
The 70m, five legged roundabout on the Wairere Drive section is unique and the first of its kind in New Judging & Copyright Statement Zealand, providing safe passage for school children, This project is an entry in the 2011 INNOVATE NZ Awards of Excellence competition. The winners will be announced on Saturday wheel chair users, cyclists and pedestrians within the 6th August, 2011. space within the roundabout.

Waikato Regional Council Council Bus Patronage Report for July 2011
Commentary
Region
In reviewing the region’s patronage it can be seen that has been a marginal decrease in total patronage of 0.07%
Year to date total regional patronage was 411,349 in 2011/12 compared to 411,667 in 2010/11.
Urban
Urban patronage figures show that whilst city ridership in the peak period has held up, there has been a drop off in off-peak patronage.
There were 378,921 urban trips made, compared to 387,804 trips in 2010/11 – a reduction of 2.29%.
It believed that the difficult economic conditions and delays to bus services caused by long term road works are factors that have impacted on off - peak patronage. However the City Express service which serves Te Rapa straight and Te Awa (The Base) continues to grow.
Rural
Rural services had a strong overall performance with a 35.8% increase with 32,248 trips being made. There was continued good performances from both the Waipa and Raglan services. It is also pleasing to note that the Huntly service is back in positive territory, and there has been anecdotal evidence that the minor routeing change in May to enable all Huntly buses to operate via the Te Awa (The Base) is proving its worth.
Key metrics
Farebox recovery ratio for the region is 21.59%, the low overall figure is due to the payment of contract incentive payments in July.
Year to date trips per capita Hamilton = 2.96 based on 139,000 population size.
Year to date trips per capita Auckland = 47 based on 1.4 million population size and 65.8 million trips per annum*- based on best information available.
Year to date trips per capita Wellington = 81.5 based on 450,000 population size and 36.7 million trips per annum* - based on best information available.
Wheelchair use = 188 trips in July - year to date 188.
