NOTICE: Severe Parnell traffic disruption, school holidays and Easter
Public Service Announcement:
Please read this information even if you do not have a business in Parnell as you may be affected as a commuter.
In order to install safety measures at 3 of the pedestrian crossings, Parnell Road will be a one way system for 2-3 weeks, commencing 13th April. Not only will this affect traffic moving up and down Parnell Road, but also the Link bus services, which will be diverted via Gladstone Road.
Pedestrian Crossings:
Auckland Transport (AT) is introducing Speed Tables across Central Auckland routes to help to slow traffic and keep our communities and pedestrians safe.
AT is planning to complete the construction of three Speed Tables on Parnell Road, along with Footpath and Tactile Paver works over the Easter period. The three works sites are outside 119 Parnell Road, 167 Parnell Road and 215 Parnell Road.
Civil Works will take place from Saturday 13th of April 2019 7:00AM, to Sunday the 28th of April 2019 5:00PM. (weather dependant)
From Saturday April the 13th 05:00AM to Monday the 29th of April 5:00AM Parnell Road will be reduced to one way southbound traffic (i.e traffic going up the hill). Northbound traffic (i.e.traffic going down the hill) will be detoured via St Stevens Ave, Gladstone Road, The Strand and Parnell Rise.
Access into and out of the following side streets off Parnell Road: Akaroa St, Windsor St, Ruskin St, Tilden St, Denby St, Gilbraltar Cres, Birdwood Cres, St Georges Bay Rd and St Stephens Ave will still be available, however, this will need to be in accordance with the southbound flow.
During this time, there will be a reduction in the amount of parking available along Parnell Road.
Access to all residences and businesses will be maintained at all times, however, traffic detours will be in place during this time.
The Link bus service will be diverted accordingly. Southbound buses (i.e traffic going up the hill) will continue as normal, but Northbound buses (i.e.traffic going down the hill) will be detoured via St Stevens Ave, Gladstone Road, Please make sure you know where your nearest stop will be.
Three Fish - Day 5
Once upon a time, there was a stream. In that stream, there were three fish. The first fish was named "Futuristic"
Futuristic always planned for the future. It always thought of what would happen to the stream in three months, in six months, in twelve months, in twenty-four months, in five years, and so on. It had a scientific approach.
The second fish was named “Spontaneous" It had lots of ideas to get out of difficult situations. For example, it knew all the exit routes from the stream, the various ways to dive deep into the water, and it knew the different ways to jump out of danger etc. Spontaneous was also very active and had friends among fellow-fish.
The third fish was called "Just Another". Just Another never planned for the future, nor did it know the tricks to get out of difficult situations.
One fine day, Futuristic swam to sea level and checked the mean temperature of the sun. It seemed to Futuristic that it was too hot. Given this kind of temperature, and considering the depth of the stream, the stream would dry up within a month. Saying this aloud to Spontaneous and Just Another, Futuristic said it was leaving the stream and going out to a bigger pond, lake, river or sea. It hoped Spontaneous and Just Another would join, but that did not happen.
Soon, the stream began to dry up. A fisherman came by and caught both Spontaneous and Just Another in his net. Being an athletic fish, Spontaneous jumped out of the net before it lost its life and back into the water and swam out into sea. However, Just Another died in the fisherman's net. Just Another was the kind of fish who would perish without a fight when all the others perish. It simply left things to destiny.
Therefore, it is for us to decide whether we wish to be like Futuristic, Spontaneous or Just Another. Whichever route we choose to take in our lives, be rest assured that our faith belief stays with us.
