Ellerslie Racecourse housing development

Karen from Saint Johns

www.epa.govt.nz...

This development was fast-tracked under the changes the last govt put through. It's obviously going to create huge amounts of traffic, despite it's supposed closeness to public transport which is one of the reasons for approval. The plan is for this traffic to exit at 2 points on Ladies Mile:

"The proposed density and residential typology mix of the development is also in part driven by identified traffic capacity for the area. A looped public road is provided from Ladies Mile (avoiding the Abbotts Way signalised T intersection). Access is also provided from to Derby
Downs Place which will have a new signalised intersection with Ladies Mile" (pg 10 of the doc). Obviously the people who decided this was a good idea do not live anywhere near the area, if they believe 2 new roads on that side of Ladies Mile so close together are not going to make a difference to the congestion that already occurs. It would have made more sense to put one entrance at the bottom end of Peach Parade, and the other to loop around the back of the race course to exit on Morrin or Mitchelson Streets.
I don't know if it's too late to start objecting to the council - but would love some ideas, as it's soon going to be nearly impossible to use Abbots Way as an exit point to the rest of Auckland.
