Have Your Say on Mission Bay traffic proposal

Caryn Wilkinson Reporter from Community News

People have until December 3 to have their say on traffic improvements proposed for Mission Bay's town centre.

Auckland Transport is asking for community feedback to improve safety through the district.

The improvements will be funded through the Regional Fuel Tax.

AT will also be extending a 30 km/h speed limit to Mission Bay in June 2021 as part of its safe speeds programme.

Included in the proposed improvements are:

*Nine new raised zebra crossings within the town centre.

*A new roundabout at the Tamaki Drive and Marau Crescent intersection.

*Improved shared path facilities and planted areas connecting the Tamaki Drive/ Selwyn Avenue intersection and Tamaki Drive/ Marau Crescent intersection.

*Removal of the flush median and widened shared path facilities on Tamaki Drive between Atkin Avenue and Selwyn Avenue.

*Intersection improvements on Patterson Avenue and Marau Crescent.

*Removing 34 public car park spaces on and surrounding Tamaki Drive to make room for the new pedestrian crossings.

What do you think of the proposed changes? Are you in favour with them?

Please type NFP if you don't want your comment featured in our conversations section of the community paper.
