AT is seeking feedback on its proposal, which includes installing speed tables, speed humps and raised intersections. The area is southwest of the Northwestern Motorway, bounded by Te Atatū and Edmonton Roads to the south, and Central Park Drive and Henderson Creek to the west.
The project is part of AT’s commitment to reducing death and serious injuries on our roads by 60 per cent in the next 10 years.
Public feedback is open until Sunday 18 November. You can have your say here.
A drop in session to find out more about the plans will be held on Saturday 10 November from 12.30 -2.30pm at the Te Atatū South Community Centre, 247 Edmonton Road, Te Atatū South.

Matt O'Brien and Cris Casares, of Barfoot & Thompson, have been told to stop a campaign in which they'd put flyers in recycling bins.
The flyers suggested neighbours' bins were overflowing with champagne bottles due to their successful property sales. Some residents aren't impressed and have told the agents to stay out of their bins.
But marketing and communications consultant Cas Carter says the negative attention could be good for the campaign. "It has clearly created some controversy but that may have been the intention ... getting people talking, and posting, about the campaign, is giving it a good profile."
Meanwhile, property blogger and real estate salesman Alistair Helm said the negative response wasn't a surprise. The "venomous" feedback was symptomatic of the "challenge that agents face every day in a cut-throat world of fighting for their business."
University of Auckland head of marketing Bodo Lang said it was a risky tactic when an increasing number of people were putting up "no junk mail" signs. The negative reaction was likely due to the invasive nature of the advertising, Lang said.
To top it off, Peter Thompson, the managing director of Barfoot & Thompson, said he had asked the pair to stop the campaign. Although, he did say that many regarded it as "a clever and innovative campaign promoting their sales services".
