New Give Way at Paragon Ave/Beach Haven Rd

John Gillon from John Gillon - Kaipatiki Local Board

This is in response to a petition from local residents concerned about their safety when exiting Paragon Ave due to vehicles parked near the corner. The petition was also supported by the Kaipatiki Local Board.
Read it here: www.change.org...
While the Give Way is definitely an improvement, the yellow lines do not go far enough around the corner, meaning that parked cars are still blocking the view.
Vehicles are not allowed to park within 6 metres of any intersection, but it isn't clear where that should be measured from. It appears that Auckland Transport measure it from the centre of the intersection, as they have only marked about 2 metres around the corner instead of 6 metres.
Either way, I've requested that Auckland Transport look at this again and extend the yellow lines. Hopefully this happens before there is another accident from poor visibility

What’s the difference between white, black and grey magic?
There are three forms of magic that we can demonstrate through our thoughts and actions. These are often termed white magic, black magic and grey magic which is somewhere in between.
It is essential for all spiritual students to keep their magic pure. This ensures that we do not perform acts of magic which are harmful to either ourselves or others.
As a spiritual student, it is also vital to learn to protect yourself against psychic interference, while at the same time recognising that the most common causes of so-called interference are actually our own negative thoughts and actions.
