It should now be a little easier to find your way around Birkdale on foot :)
The Kaipatiki Local Board's project to install signage at the entrances to street-to-street walkways is now underway. The project also includes directional signage at nearby intersections to help pedestrians find the nearest walkway.
The project has come well under budget, so last night the Local Board requested that the walkway signage project be extended to Glenfield, Hillcrest and Sunnybrae.
Funded by the Kaipatiki Local Board via the Auckland Transport Local Board Capital Fund.

The vote passed 5 in favour; 3 against.
The Notice of Motion was signed and supported by myself, Danielle Grant​ Anne-Elise Smithson​, Adrian Tyler​ and Paula Gillon​.
A copy of the decision will now be sent to the other 20 local boards for their consideration and I hope that they will join us in putting pressure on Auckland Transport.
Attached is the full Notice of Motion, with information on how Auckland Transport has the ability to delegate powers to local boards, although for the last 9 years it has chosen not to.

Unused bus lane due to new bus routes - could save congestion

The bus lane at the bottom end of ocean view road at the roundabout from the corner of Hillcrest ave is only about 20metres long, but with the new bus routes, none of the buses go that way anymore.
If they could paint over it and make it a clear straight ahead through the roundabout anytime (to merge with traffic coming from Lake road on northcote road), it would solve a lot of congestion on Ocean view in the mornings, and also stop the rat runners using Potter ave back down onto Lake road to jump the queues in the mornings too which happens a lot (as they can presently skip round the backstreets then get right of way at the roundabout with the steady stream of morning traffic, so ocean view just backs up indefinitely).
