Tī Rākau Drive changes in Pakūranga

Hira Siddiqui from Citizens Advice Bureau Pakuranga/Eastern Manukau

‼️Tī Rākau Drive changes in the Pakūranga area‼️

New vehicle lanes heading towards Pakūranga and a shared path for pedestrians and cyclists will open soon on Tī Rākau Drive. They will run from Gossamer Drive to Pakūranga Highway as part of the Eastern Busway project. Work will then start on building the busway along the middle of Tī Rākau Drive.

There will be changes to the way that motorists move in and out of side streets, driveways and businesses. Intersections with traffic lights and pedestrian crossings will enable vehicle u-turns and shared path users to cross Tī Rākau Drive.

The dates are:

👉🏼 Thursday 17 April to Saturday 19 April: Ti Rākau Drive will have one lane open in each direction and access will be available to side streets.

👉🏼 Sunday 20 April: new lanes on Tī Rākau Drive heading towards Pakūranga will open to motorists, cyclists and pedestrians, and construction will start on the busway along the middle of the road. There will be two traffic lanes open in each direction. Work may continue until Tuesday 22 April, if adjustments are required or the weather is wet.

The changes may lead to some delays while people get used to the new road layout and the temporary speed limit that will be in place until the busway is completed. Please drive, walk and ride with patience so that everyone reaches their destination safely. Thank you for bearing with us while we create short-term disruption to bring you long-term benefits.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
