Poll: Do you support Auckland Transport's new paid/time restricted street parking near North Shore Hospital?

Caroline Williams Reporter from North Shore Times

Hi neighbours. On April 4, Auckland Transport will implement changes to on-street parks surrounding North Shore Hospital.
Road users will pay $1 per hour to park on Shea Terrace, Mary Poynton Crescent and part of Northcote Road, while other street parks will be time-restricted to two hours (see map).
Auckland Transport said the changes will increase parking availability, enable parks to be shared between residents, commuters, hospital patrons and encourage the use of public transport.
We'd like to hear your thoughts: How will this affect you? Do you live on one of these roads? Are you a frequent hospital visitor who relied on free parking? [Please type 'NFP' if your comment is not for publication.]
