Tell Auckland Transport to Remove T2/Bus Lane on Pakuranga Road

Simeon from Howick

I've launched a petition calling on Auckland Transport to remove the T2/Bus lane from Pakuranga Road and prioritise the Reeves Road Flyover.

Locals have told me their travel time from Howick to Panmure is taking 40+ minutes some days - an unacceptable amount of time - and it has created confusion around the Gossamer Drive intersection. I support AT's desire to increase public transport usage, but not at the expense of the majority of commuters and certainly not with half-baked solutions like this.

The Eastern Busway and Reeves Road Flyover are projects this community desperately wants, as they will both make a real difference to congestion issues in the area. If you support this view, please sign the petition on my website. simeonbrown.national.org.nz...
