Parking restriction options for Glenfield Road

John Gillon from

Auckland Transport are proposing two options for parking restrictions on the stretch of Glenfield Road between the intersections with Coronation Rd and Eskdale Road. 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.

Onepoto Park

Denise from Birkenhead

A month ago I witnessed a huge drum of chemicals on the back of a boat being sprayed deep into the water for apparently to remove the algae, I asked the co worker why he would do this and I had hoped it would not upset the 60-80 ducks that live on the water, he said they would have to drink a lot of water to be affected. I said "well, what else do they drink!" I told him I rescued ducks and place them into this pond when they are well enough and always in small groups so they have an adopted family of their own and not be lonely.
Since this I have witnessed the duck life very sick and dying, their feathers are falling off their wee bodies and they are trying to swim without feathers and eventually die...I am so upset witnessing this and every week there are fewer ducks, On Tuesday I only saw 10 ducks.
The regular lawn mower man for this park said he is very concerned as he and I felt it like a ghost pond as their were none in sight ! I feed all birdlife once a week here and the birds are always waiting for my visit. Usually 100-200 including pigeons, seagulls, pukeko's sparrow and ducks. Even the Pukeko's are missing, yes you may well say they have flew off somewhere but I have been frequenting this park and others for the past 15 months and never seen it so empty for this time of the year.... the council are accepting no liability and I am helpless to know where to take this further. I have witnesses and the lawn mower man says the pond was always clear years ago and he can't understand why it is so bad... the bridge has been blocked off underneath and the filth is disgusting and this is where some of the dead birds have been found. The chemicals are not making it better and my question is, why can't it be kept clean in an organic way and build the pond life with healthy plants to nourish the growth and feed the birdlife.
