Have Your Say on Mission Bay traffic proposal

Caryn Wilkinson Reporter from Community News

People have until December 3 to have their say on traffic improvements proposed for Mission Bay's town centre.

Auckland Transport is asking for community feedback to improve safety through the district.

The improvements will be funded through the Regional Fuel Tax.

AT will also be extending a 30 km/h speed limit to Mission Bay in June 2021 as part of its safe speeds programme.

Included in the proposed improvements are:

*Nine new raised zebra crossings within the town centre.

*A new roundabout at the Tamaki Drive and Marau Crescent intersection.

*Improved shared path facilities and planted areas connecting the Tamaki Drive/ Selwyn Avenue intersection and Tamaki Drive/ Marau Crescent intersection.

*Removal of the flush median and widened shared path facilities on Tamaki Drive between Atkin Avenue and Selwyn Avenue.

*Intersection improvements on Patterson Avenue and Marau Crescent.

*Removing 34 public car park spaces on and surrounding Tamaki Drive to make room for the new pedestrian crossings.

What do you think of the proposed changes? Are you in favour with them?

Please type NFP if you don't want your comment featured in our conversations section of the community paper.

Poll: 🤖 What skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑

Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.

We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?

Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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?
