Sunset Road/Target Road/Caribbean Drive roundabout upgrade
Sunset Road/Target Road/Caribbean Drive roundabout upgrade:
Auckland Transport have weighed up feedback from the community and decided not to proceed with the proposed changes to the roundabout at this time.
"After listening to all the feedback and investigating alternative design options we have decided not to proceed with the proposal at this stage. Investigations into alternative design options found that there were no design options that could be accommodated within the project budget that would address the community’s concerns while still significantly improving bus journey times. COVID 19 has impacted on our budgets so at this time there is no additional funding available to progress a revised design that addresses the communities concerns and improves bus journey times. However, a revised version of this project will be considered again in future when more funding is available. If the project re-emerges we will seek feedback from the public on the revised design option(s)."
Concerns raised in public feedback included:
* Project needs to include safe cycle facilities.
* Proposal creates a road layout that is less safe for people on bikes.
* Want project to include priority crossings for pedestrians, such as zebra crossings over the speed tables.
* Concerns with dual traffic lanes entering and exiting the roundabout (want single lane roundabout).
* Proposal makes it less safe for pedestrians.
* Don’t believe the design meets Auckland Transport’s new design principles.
