Hi Liz,
Sorry for the delay, I've been busy with meetings and other tasks.
Here are two of the primary solutions that were tabled as alternative methods to manage traffic:
Temporary Traffic Lights
· When running Stop/Go on this roundabout significant compounding build-ups occurred.
A turn based traffic system would not have the same free flow effect as the roundabout.
· The nature of the narrowed single lane means we would be limited to sending traffic
from one point at a time (traffic flow would be significantly slower than a multi-flow
traffic light operation).
· The temporary traffic lights don’t have the same dynamic programmable capability that
permanent lights with sensors in the ground.
· The potential for vandalism/damage to the lights and the chaos it would cause if any of
them were compromised (which has been an ongoing feature of working in this area)
Tidal Flow (alternating the direction of through traffic morning and evening)
· During peak times traffic has been observed flowing fairly equally in both directions.
· Confusion from drivers around how the system works.
· The would be a significant challenge around effectively communicating this traffic
operation to the public
· Apart from signs and cones there would be no effective way to ‘enforce’ the system;
there would be a lane that always appears ‘open’. This would likely lead to increased
non-compliance from drivers.
What needs to be kept in mind is that none of these solutions would provide us with two open
lanes which is effectively what the public wants. Having the road narrowed to one lane is always
going to affect a subset of drivers no matter which way we do it. It merely changes which subset
of drivers is affected. As long as the shaft remains on the carriageway a lane needs to be
removed for construction.
Another idea:
Do you think it would be beneficial to get some of the key stakeholders together for us to do a
short site tour? I’m thinking along the lines of appropriate representatives from Auckland
transport, the council, the local board etc… (a small group of ~5 key players would be best).
They can meet the project team
We can explain the work that is being undertaken and some of the challenges we face
We can visibly demonstrate what the shaft on the roundabout will look like (we can show them
one of the existing ones which has already been dug)
I feel that this would help them to get a better understanding of the work that is being
undertaken and may open up discussion around ways to further minimise the effect of the
project on the public (or at least some understanding around the disruption that is being
caused).
Regards,
|

Hi
Thanks for the discussion.
I was wondering if you are able to send me a few bullet points about our chat and what you think
will be best and some of points that we talked about that can’t work (temp traffic lights).
I would like to send it to my Manager so he has all the details.
Thanks a million for all your help.
Will let you know if there is anything else.
Cheerio
Liz

Morning
Can you please speak to the Watercare project manager for this work and find out their opinion
on the temporary road plus the number of complaints they have received from residents about
delays.
If you can get that by today would be good.
Thanks
Laurence

Subject: Traffic congestion in Glen Innes area and surrounds
Kia ora Shane, im emailing to raise my concerns regarding the traffic congestion in
our area as a result of the Watercare works in Elstree Ave. There are three main
roads in Glen Innes, Line Road, Apirana Ave and Elstree Ave with Elstree Ave being
used for waterworks, there has been traffic backed up affecting the whole area
including parts of Orakei ward. The plan put in place by Watercare is not sufficient
and as AT signed off on their plan we are raising that AT needs to do more to
address the congestion that has resulted especially as this will be for the next two
years. Chair Makoare has suggested a new temporary road be developed on the
Ngati Whatua land leased by Watercare so I would like this suggestion explored by
AT and Watercare and any other options for how congestion can be addressed here
as the residents are unhappy with the current situation in place.
Thank you
Josephine
