Eastview Low Traffic Area

This consultation closed on Friday 30 July 2021. Thank you for having your say.

We received 108 feedback submissions.

We held four community events to get feedback on the new design of the Eastview Low Traffic Area.

We asked for feedback through:

• social media
• printed newspapers
• local street signage.

In addition, we did two flyer drops to every letterbox in the low traffic area.

Staff also held on-street surveys and sent regular email updates to people who had already submitted feedback.

Key feedback themes

People liked:

• that drivers were encouraged to slow down
• that local infrastructure was considered
• how the road at the end of Eastview was cut off
• how it became safer and easier to cross roads and turn around in cars
• that it kept traffic away from schools and children
• the artwork painted on the road
• fewer 'boy racers' speeding down the road.

People disliked:

• the design and colour of the boxes used to block the traffic
• the loss of carparks on Eastview Road
• the closure of the northern slip lane between Apirana Avenue and Eastview Road
• reduced visibility of drivers and pedestrians
• inconvenience and lack of notice about road changes.

Project update

At Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board's request, Auckland Transport will make some permanent changes on Eastview Road.

They will:

• close the northern access from Eastview Road to Apirana Avenue
• extend the kerb outside 12 and 14 Eastview Road, and at the Eastview Road and Castledine Crescent intersection
• install a traffic island outside 118 Eastview Road, next to the Glen Innes Seventh-day Adventist Church car park entrance
• extend the grass island and install a pedestrian crossing island at the Apirana Avenue and Eastview Road intersection
• paint new road markings, install new signage and build new footpaths to support the changes.

What happens next

Auckland Transport plans to deliver this project by July 2025.

We know the Glen Innes community has experienced ongoing disruption due to construction. To minimise further disruption, we are currently coordinating the delivery of this project with other projects in the Glen Innes, including the Links to Glen Innes Cycleways project.

Once we have more information around the start date, we will update you again.

Before any work starts, contractors will contact residents to provide more information about how we will manage traffic.
