Subject: Official Information request - Decision process to upgrade bus
stop 1188

Dear Auckland Transport, Following minimal consultation in 2022 and our
expressed objection to any change a decision was taken and implemented in
2024 to significantly upgrade the bus stop 1188 at 28 Junction Road,
Waiheke Island. The upgrade is not in keeping with the design guidelines
for the island, it does not use locally appropriate materials, is
excessively large, has a high kerb step, and does not follow the original
proposal for relocation further along the road.  No other bus stop on the
island has been developed to such an extent even though the passenger
traffic is < 10 people a day. Please provide all documentation, project
plans, emails etc. about who, how and when the decision was made to carry
out the changes.  In particular provide evidence for the decision taken to
not inform local householders of the decision to implement the upgrade and
the planned design until notice of roadworks was given a week before they
started allowing no objection to be lodged or action taken. Yours
faithfully, Andrew Watkins
