Poll: 🚗 How would you rate the current state of traffic congestion in your area?
🚗 Let's Talk Traffic in Our Area! 🚦
Hey neighbors! Quick shoutout from Newmarket. So, on the bus recently, and guess what? Bus lanes turned into a mini parking lot for some cars playing hide and seek! 🚌 Classic move, right?
Now, onto these traffic lights. That stretch is something else – 8 sets in a row, spread across 500m of road. Your car practically gets a green light workout before budging an inch!
But let's shift gears. How's everyone else finding the traffic flow in your area?
-
14.3% Smooth Sailing: "Traffic? What traffic? Our streets are a breeze!"
-
14.3% Moderate Flow: "Some congestion, but nothing we can't handle. It's manageable.
-
57.1% Bumper-to-Bumper: "Traffic troubles are real! We need some solutions, ASAP!"
-
14.3% Need a Spaceship: "It's intergalactic levels of congestion! Beam me up, Scotty
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.5% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.2% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated
Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?
The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟
While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.
We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?
-
80.3% Community feedback and transparency is needed.
-
19.7% No. This would be impossible in practice.
