There's a lot of information attached to the email for you ... see below the note from Don
Hi All,
I wish to bring your attention to a new pilot project for the Grey and Arthur St area in Onehunga which is aimed at enhancing the safety of local residents by reducing traffic volumes on residential streets, and to improve walking and cycling connections throughout the neighbourhood.
A public information workshop is scheduled for this Saturday 12 December from 1-3pm at the Langimalie Community Garden Centre at 5A Jordan Ave.
Please share this information with your neighbours and local residents.
Kind regards
Don

Subject: Innovating Streets project now live and here are some blurbs to share, with flyers for next wknds workshops

Hi Team,
Attached are some of the Comms collateral that’s been developed by the amazing Cathy, Litia and Natasha. It’s at printers at the moment and the flyers will hopefully be delivered into letterboxes either Monday or Tuesday with the postcards being delivered a few days later. We have Corflute signs underway and they’ll go up as soon as I get them.

The webpages are live and should be where we encourage people to go and register their interest so they receive all the updates and information. Later it will be used to drive more Q&A and gather feedback from people on the project etc. so the more the registered the better.

As I’ve said in my post to the LB group chat earlier it’s really important that the message is clear to the public that now we have secured the funding we can work with them to build the solutions to the problems they identify in their areas. Nothing is pre-determined, other than it’s a Low Traffic Area trial, it’s temporary until June unless it proves successful and people want it made permanent, and it has to comply with the road safety rules and regulations of Auckland Transport.

So feel free to copy and paste the text below (There’s a separate blurb for Mkiekie and one for Tāmaki) if you want to email the following info through to community groups with the flyer and get them across what’s planned. We want as many aware of it getting underway as possible.

The flyers are attached, make sure to choose the right one – Arthur Grey LTA for Mkiekie and Eastview LTA for Tāmaki, to go with your email or any posts online.

Cathy is planning a MTLB Social Media post on Monday, so you are welcome to wait til then and share her post or feel free to build your own social media posts using the info below. Encourage people to register on the project homepage for updates and feel free to emphasise that the workshops next weekend will be a great opportunity to share their experiences living on these streets and to help shape the local solutions to their local problems.

I’ll do separate emails to Tāmaki MP Simon O’Connor and Mkiekie MP Priyanca Radhikrishnan to get them up to speed and make them aware of the workshops next weekend.

Thanks again for your support on this transformative project.

Any questions please don’t hesitate to ask.

Regards,
Peter

Maungakiekie Subdivision -

Hi,

We’re excited to finally be able discuss more details for the exciting Innovating Streets project coming to Onehunga, called the Arthur Grey Low Traffic Area.

It’s taken a little while to get organised since the announcement of the project, with it being the first time the Maungakiekie Tāmaki Local Board have had the opportunity to really partner with Auckland Transport to deliver a project of this scale. The project is 90% funded by Waka Kotahi (formerly the NZ Transport Agency) with Auckland Council only picking up 10% of the cost, which is tremendous value for money for the Auckland ratepayers.

This project is about local solutions to local problems and listening to the residents of the area, who know the area best and the challenges it faces, to provide safer streets for our most vulnerable.

The project aims to reduce traffic volumes, reduce traffic speeds and improve the sense of safety and community amongst residents, within the designated area. If at the end of the trial in June 2021 there is a desire to keep some, or all, of the project’s interventions then the Maungakiekie Tāmaki Local Board would then work with Auckland Transport to see how the changes could be made permanent. This would only happen if the trial has been deemed a success, otherwise the road would be reinstated to it’s current state.

Join us for the first public information session and workshop this Saturday 12th December, 1-3pm at Langimalie Community Garden Centre 5A Jordan Ave, Onehunga (also can be accessed from Wade Ave & pedestrian access down alleyway on Cameron St).
Feel free to bring the whole family as we want all voices to be heard, there’ll be entertainment and supervision for the kids, as well as refreshments during the breaks.

If you can’t join us on Saturday then make sure to go to the Arthur Grey Low Traffic Area homepage below to share your views on living in the area (pros and cons) and sign up to receive updates on the project, as they are released.

Or you can email the team directly on: ArthurGreyLTA@aucklandcouncil.govt.nz

Here’s an additional link you may want to read for some more background on Low Traffic Areas:

We look forward to working together with you on this exciting project over the next 6 months, and hopefully seeing you on Saturday at the workshop.

I'm looking for a part time caregiver for my father with dementia to give my mother a break in Greenlane during the daytime. This could suit a nursing student or even an unqualified person albeit with some experience. Hours could be flexible but meaningful enough blocks so not simply an hour here or there. the bulk of the time would be spent sitting with him and keeping him safe if he is wobbly on his feet when he walks. If you let me know your past experience and pay expectations and happy to receive private messages or you can reply to this message with you contact number and I will call you. Thank you very much.
