Introducing Shore Action candidate and current member of the Kaipātiki Local Board, Anne-Elise Smithson!

"Kia ora tātou. My focus on your Board has been driving greater protection of our natural environment. Kaipātiki is now leading the way for Auckland Council.
I’m passionate about making Kaipātiki an even better place to live, work and play. I’m for vibrant town centres that reflect our heritage and our diversity, the development of a new coastal walkway to provide unparalleled access to our coastline, enhanced parks and pest-free reserves, and supporting local businesses.
I believe it is the small things that count – whether that’s shade sails over our playgrounds to protect our children from the sun or listening to you and taking action locally.
I'm for involving people in the decisions that affect them most so that Auckland takes local knowledge into account."

Shore Action is standing 6 strong members for the Kaipātiki Local Board and we'll be profiling them here over the next week. Stay tuned to meet the rest of our team.

Introducing Shore Action candidate Melanie Kenrick!

"I was raised in Birkenhead, and I’m raising my family here. I love Kaipātiki and will work hard for this area.
I worked for over a decade as a senior mental health nurse and team leader. I am now an education charity trustee and kids’ sports coach. I have the skills and experience to work effectively with the wide range of people within Kaipātiki. I will push hard to get favourable outcomes for our community interests, with organisations like Auckland Transport.
I will advocate for Kaipātiki on: solutions to traffic congestion; improving our parks, sports and recreational facilities; promoting initiatives to get rid of pests or threats to our native bush; reducing the rubbish and wastewater polluting our streams and coastline; completing the walking and cycleway over the harbour bridge; and more!"

Auckland Transport is proposing No Stopping At All Times (broken yellow lines) parking restrictions at the Coronation Rd/Glenfield Rd/Domain Road roundabout.

From AT:
“Our proposal responds to a request from the local community to address the issue of parked cars blocking the left turn lane on the Coronation Road approach to the roundabout. These minor parking restrictions are expected to greatly improve the movement of traffic through this intersection. While our proposal is aimed at improving traffic flow along Coronation Road, we recognise that these parking restrictions may impact people who live along the street. That is why we want to hear from you. Your community feedback will help us decide the final shape of these parking changes.”

Feedback closes Tuesday 20th August 2019.

Parking restriction options for Glenfield Road

John Gillon from John Gillon - Kaipatiki Local Board

Each option will improve traffic movements along Glenfield Road by preventing cars from parking in the southbound lane. Use the below link to vote and provide feedback on your preferred option.

Option 1 - No Stopping At All Times:
Option 1 involves No Stopping At All Times parking restrictions from 201 Glenfield Road to the intersection of Eskdale Road.
* These parking restrictions are expected to improve traffic flow along Glenfield Road up to the intersection by making sure the southbound through lane is kept free of parked cars at all times.
* This option involves the removal of a pproximately 16 parking spaces at all times.
* The proposal also includes No Stopping At All Times parking restrictions next to the bus stop outside the cemetery to allow enough space for buses to safely enter and exit the bus stop. These restrictions extend to the intersection to make sure the left-turn slip lane remains clear at all times.

Option 2 - Clearway and No Stopping At All Times:
Option 2 involves a shorter section of No Stopping At All Times parking restrictions and a Clearway from Monday to Fri day, 6.30am to 9.30am.
* No Stopping At All Times parking restrictions would extend from the intersection with Eskdale Road to number 187 Glenfield Road. The Clearway would extend between numbers 187 and 201 Glenfield Road.
* This means that parking between numbers 187 and 201 Glenfield Road would only be restricted during the morning peak, when traffic volumes are highest.
* This option involves the removal of 5 parking spaces at all times and 11 parking spaces during the morning, Monday to Friday, 6.30am to 9.30am.
* Like Option 1, Option 2 also includes No Stopping At All Times parking restrictions next to the bus stop outside the cemetery to allow enough space for buses to safely enter and exit the stop. These restrictions extend to the intersection to make sure the left-turn slip lane remains clear at all times.

Feedback closes Friday 30 August 2019.
