Council decides future for eastern transport corridor
Auckland City’s council agreed the future direction of the eastern transport corridor at its meeting tonight.
The council has agreed a new brief for the
transport corridor including: removing the roading component
between the CBD and Glen Innes and developing the passenger
transport components protecting the existing designations to
retain the land for long term interests of the city
investigating local road improvements in the south-eastern
suburbs of the city (including Glen Innes, Panmure and Mt
Wellington) to improve connections with State Highway 1 and
the North Island Main Trunk Line confirming funding
requirements and sources involving the Auckland Regional
Transport Authority (ARTA) to lead passenger transport
initiatives developing a new memorandum of understanding
between Transit New Zealand, Manukau city and Auckland city
councils and
ARTA.
