Planning for a Hill St fix moved forward
Planning for a fix to north Auckland's problem plagued Hill St intersection has been brought forward, the NZ Transport Agency and Auckland Transport have announced.
They are throwing $2 million into the blocked up artery at Warkworth to investigate design changes to the intersection.
Designs put on the table by fed-up Warkworth residents, and some by Auckland Transport, will form the list of options to be considered by the project team.
Auckland Transport's Delivery Manager, North and West, David Nelson said with the funding a full investigation for re-designing the intersection can be done.
"We'll also look at any land acquisition and regulatory requirements needed before we can physically start the work," Nelson said.
Do you think more needs to be done for the intersection, or is this a good start?
