Maps were scanned rotated and scaled according to tags on individual plans, or were placed according to coincidence with existing road networks and the known his- toric coastline. Distortion was inevitable since historic maps were often stylised, never orthocorrected, and often poorly surveyed. Other reference material included historic photographs, historic aerial photography, allotment maps from the 19th cen- tury, focus site plans and early city planning documents. GIS information also provided topography and historical flood- plains which when mapped together provided for logical historic drainage patterns.

  • 24 November. 2011 History of 123 Grafton Road
    !" " 24 November. 2011 History of 123 Grafton Road Prepared by Louise Mary Ormsby Contents: Locality - 1 Land - 2 Buildings and grounds - 3 People of interest - 6 Images - 8 Locality Governor William Hobson purchased the Auckland isthmus in 1841. Ngati Whatua chiefs Kawau, Tinana and Reweti Tamaki signed the deed of sale. The first land sales to Pakeha settlers in Auckland took place later in the year. In 1853 land, including what would later become 123 Grafton Road, was granted by the Crown to Augustus Brown Abraham Barrister at Law.1 The Colonial Hospital had opened in Grafton in 1847. In spite of presence of this institution and the public reserve which later became the Auckland Domain the area remained sparsely settled for the next thirty years. The early 1880s were a period of growth for Grafton. This reflected the pattern in the rest of Auckland as new suburbs expanded out from the central city. In 1882 Grafton, up until this time a separate local body, amalgamated with Auckland City. 2 """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" !"#$%&'(')*&$"+(",'&-$."/+-0"12."3+-'+"!!40" 1"50"6!."7-++8('$-9":0,0"!"#$%&'()"#*$+,-'./$,0$1*#'2"";'<&+%')*-"=+>%?*-"@>)A-*?9"B*'A*&+."!C"@5%'-"!D4!0" !" " 1" " Increased development led to the construction of a wooden footbridge over Grafton Gully in 1884. This gave better access to the hospital and Domain. By the 1900s the growing number of motor vehicles was putting pressure on city roads. The City Council decided to build the existing bridge across the Grafton Gully. This was completed by 1910. Due to its position immediately on the south east corner of the bridge 123 Grafton Road was purchased by Auckland City Council.

  • Board Meeting Paper
    Agenda Item 9(i) Bus and Transit Lanes Review - Planning and Implementation Model for Auckland - July 2011 Purpose The purpose of this study is two-fold: - To put forward a policy that aligns with strategic planning objectives and provides an analytical basis for the implementation of bus and transit lanes for the Auckland region; - To arrive at standard templates for bus and transit lanes, generic to all locations, to be used for bus and transit lanes: BUS ONLY, BUS LANE, T2 and T3 transit lanes, across the region. Executive Summary With increasing demand for travel and limited opportunities for increasing capacity within urban areas, there is a need to make more effective use of the available road space. An effective approach is to introduce bus and transit lanes on key routes. Bus and transit lanes have been introduced in Auckland in recent years, following the example of many cities across the world. In Auckland, the introduction of these lanes have been largely initiated at a strategic level and related to regional planning strategies. In each instance, designs were implemented from a local perspective, resulting in bus and transit lanes across the Auckland region appearing different from one previous legacy council area to another. This has partially compromised the use of bus and transit lanes in terms of usability, driver recognition and compliance. The latter has made enforcement challenging and contentious with the driving public. A consistent and clear approach to demarcating these lanes is therefore critical in minimising inadvertant infringement of these lanes. The purpose of this study is as stated above, and the document looks to provide clarity around the need for and use of bus and transit lanes, and in doing so sets out to show: WHY transit lanes may be necessary; WHERE should these be introduced; WHEN should a bus or transit lane be introduced; and finally HOW these are to be physically represented on the ground.

  • Encouraging Taxi Drivers to Behave: Grafton Bridge Taxi and Bus Lane Trial
    Encouraging Taxi Drivers to Behave Douglas-Jones, Segedin Page 1 ENCOURAGING TAXI DRIVERS TO BEHAVE: GRAFTON BRIDGE TAXI AND BUS LANE TRIAL Presenter: Rob Douglas-Jones, MEng, Traffic Operations Manager Auckland Transport, [email protected] Tim Segedin, BE, ME, Director Edin Ltd, [email protected] IPENZ Transportation Group Conference, Auckland 7 - 9 March 2016 Encouraging Taxi Drivers to Behave Douglas-Jones, Segedin Page 2 ABSTRACT Auckland Transport has implemented a trial allowing taxis 24 hour access to Grafton Bridge to determine whether their presence will adversely affect other users of the bridge. Prior to the trial Grafton Bridge was restricted to bus lane users only between 7:00am and 7:00pm. Allowing taxis to use Grafton Bridge improves access for taxi passengers travelling to or from Auckland City Hospital and Starship Children’s Hospital. In order to allow taxis to use the bridge the bus lanes were converted to ‘bus and taxi’ lanes with the corresponding updates made to signage and road markings. Auckland Transport set a series of monitoring conditions to determine the success of the trial and stipulated some specific thresholds for safety and general operation which, if breached would result in stopping the trial. The results of the first quarter monitoring indicate that allowing taxis on the bridge does not affect cyclist numbers or bus performance. Taxi drivers however have repeatedly breached the conditions of the trial by exceeding the speed limit and by overtaking cyclists on the bridge which could result in the trial being stopped after three months of operation.
