Thankyou to every one who gave feedback to Auckland Transport last year on their proposal for a T3 lane and pedestrian crossing on Birkenhead Ave.
There has been one main change since the original proposal, and that is to reduce the length of the T3 lane so that it now ends immediately to the north of Zion Road. This will allow increased distance for drivers to access their required lane.
See AT's responses to other feedback and suggestions here: at.govt.nz...
To support the transit lane, on-street parking will be removed along the opposite (western) side of the road, as there would no longer be sufficient road-width available to accommodate it.
A signalised pedestrian crossing will be installed outside 129 Birkenhead Ave, and the existing pedestrian refuge crossing outside 147 Birkenhead Ave will be removed.
AT now expect the construction to occur in 2021/22 (depending on budget). The changes will then be reviewed for their effectiveness within 12 months.

This will replace the existing court and half-court. It's great to see this project getting underway after it was delayed due to the lockdowns.
Work will take approx. 10 weeks, depending on weather, so the new court should be opening in the new year.

Also installed are the carved panels from the seats that Frank had built at Larking's Landing and the Hilders Park lookout. Unfortunately the seats had deteriorated and needed to be replaced, but the carved panels were saved and refurbished, and can be found next to the boat.
Thankyou to the Birkenhead Heritage Society, Beach Haven Placemaking Group, Beach Haven Birkdale Residents Association, Save Frank Larkings boat and all of the individuals who contributed their knowledge to the wording of the information sign. And thankyou to Ruth Jackson for storing the seat panels for 18 months before they were able to return to their home.

The Commerce Commission plans to follow a similar approach to that of their investigation into the price of petrol and diesel for land transport, which cost the taxpayer an estimated $2.5 million dollars. Labour promised an investigation into food prices on the election campaign and if unfair practices are found when the Commission's report is released in late 2021, necessary changes will be made.
Do you notice price differences between supermarket chains?

The village library also gives her a chance to meet her village neighbours and have a chat.
Judy’s health took a serious turn a year ago, prompting her to move into the village and into a one bedroom apartment overlooking the street.
“I lived alone and my sons were worried about me because I began falling and I couldn’t get out. Then I thought I need to be sensible here and do something about it. For me it was important I stayed in the area and I guess it was important that I knew somebody here.”
After selling her house and the village team holding the apartment she’d chosen, Judy followed Harvey, her next-door neighbour of many years, into Bupa Parkstone Retirement Village. The village team had kept in contact with her for a number of months before she’d decided to move in, inviting her to regular village functions during that time.
“There’s everything going on here for you, you couldn’t ask for more. There’s a superb manager who not only manages but she’s also a social worker and everything else with it.”
Judy says the move from a house on a back section meant safety and security was a top priority when deciding on a village.
“There’s always someone here at the front desk and they have security regularly checking too. It’s so important to me.”
Coming from a big house into an apartment hasn’t bothered Judy, and now with her health regularly monitored she is really embracing retirement village life. There’s the weekly grocery shopping at the local supermarket next door and the regular Tai Chi sessions that relax her by slowing her breathing.
“I very much want to be independent for as long as I can and I get to do that here. I also get to continue with lots of reading in lovely surroundings too.”
