thank you

IT IS 'APPROVED FOR SALE', BUT IT'S NOT TOO LATE.
We rely on this carpark for: Convenient & reasonably priced parking, in the Viaduct/Ferry area
COMMUTERS - rely on this to access their work, when they need to bring a car, to drive to after work events, or cart large items
MOTHERS WITH BABIES/CHILDREN need it to go to the city easily, for appointments, without costing alot.
APARTMENT DWELLERS with no carpark, use this for reasonable priced long-term parking.
WAIHEKE DAY VISITORS & RESIDENTS rely on this carpark to be able to park on the mainland for a reasonable cost.
OTHER FERRIES - This will affect the numbers of people using the ferries to the North Shore, and other places- may as well drive, if you incur a high cost to leave your car in the CBD.
NO REGULAR CONVENIENT WIDESPREAD UNDERGROUND NETWORK/PUBLIC TRANSPORT YET IN AUCKLAND - (in any practical sense) - and so it is too soon to sell this Public Facility. e.g. We can't get 2 buses to get from Botany to the city for dinner at the viaduct or to go to work
VIADUCT / COMMERCIAL BAY BUSINESSES will be badly affected. Currently access from Downtown Carpark is under cover/sheltered. Why pay high parking costs, and walk far in high-heels, in the rain, when we can dine elsewhere, with parking outside?
QUEEN STREET/DOWNTOWN businesses will suffer, for the same reason. . . . . One more nail in the coffin '-(
COMPANIES WILL FIND IT HARDER TO GET WORKERS for downtown offices.
COUNCIL RESPONSE:
they have approved the sale of the Downtown Carpark
they will include a BUS facility and mobility parking
there are other parking capacity in the 'immediate area' at AT's Fanshawe Street (a long walk to the viaduct!)
and Victoria Street Carpark. (a VERY long walk to the viaduct) Also, when I last applied for an Apartment carpark it was FULL!
However council say they are both 'under-utilised'
Also they say there are various privately owned parking facilities. (Yes, at double the cost, or more!)
Let's get social
Tell us what groups you'd like to see in your area...(walking groups, coffee meet-ups, swing dancing, a family tree group - anything at all!)
Or if you are already in a great group, share it here for others to get involved.
