Dear Mr Johnstone
Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987 (LGOIMA)
CAS-1174093-N1N6J3 – Pakuranga Road T2 Lane
We refer to your requests for official information dated 8 October 2019 regarding statistics for the
Pakuranga Road T2 Lane.
We have provided dashboard data collected by AT to monitor traffic across the network surrounding
the Eastern Busway Stage 1 (EB1) construction site, including the T2/bus lane on Pakuranga Road.
Below are some comments relating to our observations of this data:
− The dashboards demonstrate that journey times for general traffic have been consistent
month-by-month since construction began.
The changes to journey times for general traffic have been minimal.
− Data analysing the T2/bus lane on Pakuranga Road show that journey times have been
consistent month-by-month since the lane was introduced.
The changes to journey times for general traffic have been minimal.
− The data has not been broken down into 30-minute slots between 6am – 10am as per your
request. We are unable to provide this information in the format you have requested.
− The data displaying results from license plate recognition software does have some outliers
(i.e. extremely long journeys).
These outliers are caused in situations where vehicles may have stopped for petrol, detoured
along a side road etc
− We do not have data on wait times for traffic attempting to join Pakuranga Road from the side
streets you mentioned.
However, ATOC monitor these areas and advise us if they experience any delays or traffic
queues that are beyond the norm and signalling is adjusted accordingly.
− Bus patronage and the use of the Lloyd Elsmore Park and Ride has been increasing since it
was launched.
Some sections of the provided documentation have been either redacted or withheld. These are being
withheld under:
- Section 7(2)(a) of the Act, as withholding the information is necessary to protect the privacy of
natural persons, including that of deceased natural persons
We have not provided the raw data which was used to create the dashboards. If you would like these
files, please let us know.
If you have any further enquiries related to this matter, please contact the project team via
[email address]
We trust the above information has addressed the matters raised however, should you believe that we
have not responded appropriately to your request, you have the right in accordance with section 27 (3)
of the LGOIMA to make a complaint to the Office of the Ombudsman to seek an investigation and review
regarding this matter.
Yours sincerely
