The key goals of the Safe School Streets programme were to test temporary infrastructure improvements that support road safety around schools and encourage more active modes of transport to and from schools with the increased level of safety.From November 2019, interim changes were made to the streets around Rutherford Primary School and Rutherford College, and these changes were monitored and adjustments were made to the layout after feedback from the schools and community. Most of temporary infrastructure remained in place while we planned the permanent design and worked to secure funding for delivery. Most of the permanent changes have been built in 2021. We now have secured funding to build the last few improvements for Toru Street and Old Te Atatu Road. This funding will allow us to build the permanent replacements for the crossing and speed bump on Toru Street and the kerb extensions on Old Te Atatu Road. For more information about the Rutherford School Speeds trial, visit the original Safe School Speeds programme page for Rutherford Schools at the Auckland Council Have Your Say hub.The changes we're makingHere’s a breakdown of the permanent infrastructure we’ll be building over the temporary infrastructure:Temporary changePermanent replacementTemporary speed bump on Toru Street.Permanent speed bump on Toru street.Temporary raised kea crossing on Toru Street.Permanent raised pedestrian crossing, with new stay-put signs.Kerb buildout, created with flexiposts, between the school crossing and the roundabout to narrow the road.Replacing the temporary kerb build outs outside 441 / 440 Old Te Atatu Road with permanent kerb build outs, which helps reduce traffic speed.Temporary road markings to support school zone.Permanent road markings to support the visibility of the crossing and the school zone.Temporary kerb buildouts built with flexiposts.Permanent kerb buildouts to narrow the road and slow traffic as it approaches the school zone.

About the project South Cove Wharf on Kawau Island and Schoolhouse Bay are Kawau island&rsquo;s major gateway assets, and they need some maintenance work to keep them operational! The sheds on both wharves will be removed and likely replaced, as they can&rsquo;t be reinstated once removed. The project team will seek community feedback on aspects like the sheds, recognizing their importance to locals.The wharf renewal work is planned to start around March/April 2025, depending on design completion and material arrival from overseas.We&rsquo;ll keep the community updated on the construction timelines. What you need to know<ul><li>The team will work around tidal and weather conditions, which may cause delays at the exposed South Cove Wharf.</li><li>There might be some noise, but we&rsquo;ll try to minimise it.</li><li>Normal ferry services should continue without disruption. We&rsquo;ll plan the construction to minimise public access impact, though some sections of the wharf will need to be closed at times. Once we have a proposal, we&rsquo;ll hold drop-in sessions and share updates electronically with the community. </li></ul>Click on the subscribe button to stay up-to-date on all the information related to this project.

<h2>About the project</h2>In 2021, we trialled measures outside Milford School with the aim to make the streets safer for school children as part of the Safe School Streets Programme.Temporary changes were installed near the rear entrance of the school on Otakau Road and at the intersection to Fenwick Avenue. These included speed humps and a raised table on Fenwick Avenue, road narrowing and speed cushions on Otakau Road.The key goals of the Safe School Streets Programme were to test temporary infrastructure improvements that support road safety around schools and encourage more active modes of transport to and from schools with the increased level of safety.The results of the feedback received about the trial in April 2022 shaped the permanent measures we are planning to install soon to help reduce speeds and improve safety around the school.For more background information about the Milford School Safe School Streets trial, visit the <a href="https://akhaveyoursay.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz/milford-school">Safe School Speeds Programme page for Milford School </a>at the Auckland Council Have Your Say hub.<h2>The changes we&#39;re making</h2>Here&rsquo;s a breakdown of the permanent infrastructure we&rsquo;ll be building over the temporary infrastructure:<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td valign="top" width="44.16403785488959%">Temporary change</td><td valign="top" width="55.83596214511041%">Permanent replacement</td></tr><tr><td valign="top" width="44.16403785488959%">Otakau Road<ul><li>Drop off and pick up zone with purple painted kerb replacing on-street parking at 17-19 Otakau Road.

<h2>About the project</h2>Newton Road is an important road for travel in central Auckland, carrying about 26,000 vehicles a day. It is home to several shops, offices, apartments, and other commercial buildings that attract thousands of commuters and visitors across Tāmaki Makaurau. Three clearway sections on the road - roughly between France Street and St Benedicts Street in the east bound direction currently allow 30-minute parking (P30) between the morning and afternoon peak periods on weekdays. People in the area have told us there are still issues with traffic flow at the times of day when the clearway hours aren&#39;t in effect. Cars that park in outside of clearway periods can significantly hinder the flow of traffic in that lane, causing congestion, delays, and safety and visibility issues for people trying to manoeuvre around them. There have also been some car crashes in this area because of the parked cars.<h2>The change we&#39;re making</h2>After investigating the situation, we have decided to extend the hours of the three clearways that sit on the eastbound side of Newton Road, roughly between France St and St Benedicts Street, to 7am-7pm, Monday-Friday. Between 8am and 6pm on Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays, people can still park for a maximum of 30 minutes (P30). The design drawings on this page provide more details about the clearways and signs that will display the new hours.This change will ensure this part of Newton Road remains clear and open to the flow of traffic all day on weekdays, when the area is busiest. Because these clearways are so small, a wide variety of parking options off Newton Road are available, and the clearways are in front of very few shops, we expect the impacts to businesses to be minimal.<h2>What happens next</h2>We anticipate the new hours for these clearways will go into effect later in 2025. We will be in touch with residents and businesses in the area at least two weeks prior to the changes taking effect. <h2>How to contact us</h2><a class="external" href="mailto:ATengagement@at.govt.nz"></a><table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="594"><tbody><tr></tr><tr></tr><tr></tr></tbody></table><table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr></tr><tr></tr><tr></tr></tbody></table>If you&#39;d like to speak with someone about our plans, please email us at <a data-fr-linked="true" href="mailto:ATEngagement@at.govt.nz">ATEngagement@at.govt.nz</a>.
