PROVIDING TRANSPORT CHOICE FOR THE TAMAKI EDGE
|
Suzanne Muir |
|
|
Ward Manager |
17 October 2006 |
Attaching for the
Board's information, a report considered by the Transport and Urban Linkages
Committee at its 13 September 2006 meeting. The Committee resolved
- That the Transport and Urban Linkages
Committee requests officers further investigate the priorities and co-ordination
of passenger transport, travel demand management, disutility of the private car,
cycle and walkways and report back to the November 2006 meeting.
- That the Transport and Urban Linkages
Committee reinforces the significance of public transport, disutility of the
private car, cycleways, walkways, travel demand management and the transport
orientated development as a primary means of delivering transport solutions for
the Tamaki Edge.
- That the Transport and Urban Linkages
Committee strongly emphasises the need for all developments in the Tamaki Edge
area to be urban villages dominated by a people-orientated environment, with
traffic calming on all peripheral roads; and not designed around the space and
travel demands of the private car.
Secretarial Note:
Noting the key characteristics of "urban villages" (Newman and Kenworthy,
1991) are:
- high density land uses so that everything
within the 'village' is within walking and cycling distance;
- mixed land use with offices, shops, businesses
and community facilities on main spines or in nodes, surrounded by residential
development;
- a heavy rail or light rail station near the
core;
- considerable landscaping, including gardens on
top of buildings and on balconies and attractive gardens in the public spaces;
- a mixture of public, private or cooperative
housing with an emphasis wherever possible on families and hence large internal
dwelling spaces and spacious community areas;
- extensive provision for children, such as
playgrounds, and other safe and creative kinds of play space in good view of
dwellings;
- recreational opportunities such as sporting
facilities (swimming pool, tennis courts, indoor sports etc);
- community facilities such as schools,
libraries, child care centres, aged centres, recreation centres and in some
cases small urban farms. If these facilities are not within the village they are
always nearby;
- some special areas for secure storage of
equipment such as boats;
- pedestrian and cycle links with car parks
placed underground and traffic calming on peripheral roads. The aim should be a
traffic-free, people-orientated environment, not one designed around the space
demands of surface car parks;
- public spaces with strong design features
(water, street furniture, sculptures, playgrounds);
- a high degree of self-sufficiency for the
community for local needs, but with good rail and bus links to the wider city
for employment, higher education and so on.
- That the Transport and Urban Linkages
Committee recommends Auckland City Council continue to advocate for the
following transport enhancements for the Tamaki Edge:
- the early recommisioning of the Tamaki rail
station;
- investigation of ferry service from Panmure
Wharf;
- for Auckland Regional Transport Authority to
develop an effective passenger transport plan for a higher level and early
improvement of transport service, provision in the Tamaki Edge, including for
the Lunn Avenue Quarry prior to its residential settlement including appropriate
enhanced feeder services for residential and employment areas and carparks to
rail stations;
- enhanced safe pedestrian and cycle access to
rail stations in the area;
- appropriate changes to enhance traffic safety
and flow on the Panmure roundabouts.
- That the Transport and Urban Linkages
Committee requests officers develop a timeline of completion of public transport
projects and roading, in relation to proposed plan growth in the Lunn Avenue
Quarry and report back to the 8 November 2006 meeting of the Committee.
- That the Transport and Urban Linkages
Committee requests that a report from officers on the effect of new roading
options on traffic flows at intersections in major surrounding roads, such as
Grand View Drive and report back to the 8 November 2006 meeting of the
Committee.
Recommending that
the information be received.
