Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency (NZTA) have announced that the Akoranga Drive to Constellation Drive portion of the Northern Pathway will be on the western side of the motorway, with 82% of respondants supporting this side of the motorway.
This mirrors the Kaipātiki Local Board's formal feedback of supporting the western side of the motorway with connections into the surrounding roads and reserves.
The Kaipātiki Local Board had also highlighted concern about the potential effect on Smiths Bush Scenic Reserve, and this was also reflected in public feedback. NZTA are now working with the local restoration groups and the Local Board on options in this area that will protect the bush.

NZTA announcement: www.nzta.govt.nz...

On Smiths Bush, NZTA say:
"We received a great deal of feedback highlighting the special place that Smiths Bush holds in the community as an ancient, ecologically unique urban ngahere (forest). We have listened to this and are working with relevant community groups, local boards and government agencies to consider options to mitigate any potential environmental impact as we finalise our business case. There will be further discussion with mana whenua, project partners and key stakeholders as this design detail is developed in the next phase of the project. Through our ongoing public engagement we will also consider how the wider cultural and social elements can be enhanced to deliver a project that benefits the whole community."

Labour is promising an end to expensive fees for things like paywave and card transactions.

The party wants to regulate Merchant Service Fees (MSF), which are high in New Zealand compared to other countries such as Australia.

These are fees charged by banks for services including card transactions and paywave, and force retailers to either absorb the hefty cost themselves, or pass it on to consumers.

Takapuna street upgrade nears completion

Auckland Council’s Hurstmere Road transformation is progressing with the completion of the intersections at either end of what is now a one-way road.

New wider pavements, timber seating, and stonework walls in the finished sections hope to turn the area into a pedestrian-friendly retail boulevard within Takapuna’s town centre.

Construction now begins near Hurstmere Green, the heart of Hurstmere Road that will connect Takapuna’s beach with a future boulevard and new town square being delivered by Panuku Development Auckland by 2021.

North Shore Councillor Richard Hills said it was an exciting milestone to reach for the long-anticipated project.

“The Hurstmere Road transformation is on its way to delivering a greener and more people-friendly space for Takapuna,” he said.

“Not only will the project result in an improved retail destination for locals and visitors, but importantly, ageing infrastructure like the road, mains water and stormwater pipes will receive a much-needed upgrade at the same time.”

Hurstmere Road is now a one-way road for north-bound traffic between Lake Road and Anzac Street with a safer speed limit of 30km. The upgrade will also include a new cycle path. The reduction of vehicle dominance will make it more accessible for both pedestrians and cyclists. South-bound traffic now travels along Anzac Street and Lake Road.

The works include new stormwater rain gardens set in native plantings that will be located along the road. They have been carefully designed to collect rainwater and filter out street pollutants that currently discharge directly into the sea.
