Public feedback sought on low traffic area trial: Onehunga

Caryn Wilkinson Reporter from Community News

Aucklanders are being called to have their say about the new layout of the Arthur Grey low traffic area in Onehunga.

The people-friendly area will be trialled for the next two weeks.

It is designed to allow access to cars but stop them from using the location as a short-cut.

Trials have been taking place around Arthur St and Grey St in Onehunga, and Eastview Rd in Glen Innes as part of the national Innovating Streets for People pilot fund.

Local Board chair Chris Makoare said it was critical to get enough feedback to make the best decisions for communities.

He has urged members of the public to be patient and to complete the online survey on the stage 1 layout.

The board wants to know what residents think about the area being trialled, about road safety, traffic speeds and volumes.

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!
