January Road Resealing

John Gillon from John Gillon - Kaipatiki Local Board

The below roads are due to be re-sealed in January. Note that these dates could change, so keep an eye on your letterbox for a notice.
Following the Kaipatiki Local Board's resolution to Auckland Transport opposing the downgrade of suburban asphalt roads to chip-seal, I'm pleased that we've been able to secure the new "rejuvenation" treatment for some roads.

This new treatment extends the life of asphalt surfaces and was trialled in Unsworth Heights. While it is more expensive than chipseal, it is cheaper than asphalt and provides a similar standard of surface, so is a very good compromise. Unfortuantely it can't be applied to all roads, and it can't be applied to roads that have already been downgraded to chip seal :(

Upcoming Chip Seal:
Melba Street, Beach Haven - 11 January
Ayton Drive, Totara Vale - 12 January
Colin Wild Place, Glenfield - 12 January
Girrahwheen Drive, Totara Vale - 12 January
Greenridge Court, Glenfield - 12 January

Upcoming Rejuvenation Seal:
Havenwood Place, Northcote - 13 January
Heathglen Place, Bayview - 13 January
Palmerston Road, Birkenhead - 13 January
Richmond Ave, Northcote Point - 13 January
Vincent Road, Northcote Point - 13 January
Wanita Place, Totara Vale - 13 January

Recently Completed Chip Seal:
Dudding Ave, Northcote
Glenwood Place, Birkenhead
Holyoake Place, Birkenhead
Kyle Road, Bayview
Lancaster Road, Beach Haven
Lynn Road, Bayview
Teal Cres, Beach Haven
Willow Ave, Birkenhead
