Last Wednesday, Greater Auckland sent an open letter to Auckland Transport about last minute U-turns on designs for the area around Karanga-ā-hape CRL station. Our letter was co-signed by over a hundred people including many local residents and businesses, Auckland Central MP Chlöe Swarbrick, and organisations such as the City Centre Residents’ Group, Bike Auckland, Campaign for Better Transport, and more.

This is a bit of a progress update for our open letter asking Auckland Transport to return to the consulted and support plans for the Karanga-a-Hape Station precinct integration project after their last-minute changes. So far, we’ve had over 80 people and organisations sign on. Thank you to everyone who’s reached out, and if you would like to sign on please email us at: [email protected] will be sending the letter next week. For today, I’m going to do two things with this post.

This is a letter we will be sending to Auckland Transport to ask they return to the original consulted plans on the Karanga-a-Hape Station precinct integration project, after they released significant changes to designs last week.

A few weeks ago, I wrote a post extensively detailing the scandal of what happened with the Upper Mercury Lane part of the Karanga-a-Hape Station precinct integration project (also known by its cool title, Project K). It was a prime example of Auckland Transport’s habitual failure to follow through on well-supported and widely-consulted projects that improve the status quo. But I didn’t want my post to be yet another “grumble about AT” – after all, we have our Mayor for that.

With many of Auckland’s political and bureaucratic leaders bowing down to vocal minorities and consistently failing to reallocate space to people in our city, recent news overseas has prompted me to point out something important. It is extremely popular to make car-dominated cities nicer, by freeing up space for people.

The government is moving into the implementation phase of its disastrous decision to reverse speed limit reductions across the country, in most cases regardless of whether communities want to do so. In Auckland, it’s a Kafkaesque nightmare, with perverse outcomes all over the map.

Last week, Auckland Transport released the list and map showing which streets and roads must have their speed limits increased due to the new Setting of Speed Limits 2024 rule from central government. As things currently stand, none of these changes will be consulted with the communities they impact. And that’s a huge problem, as this looks to wipe out the years of (on the whole) decent work by AT’s safety team which has been showing results.
