Project update
We asked the community to give us feedback on the proposed changes. The proposal was shared through letterbox delivery, and social media posts. We received 1.9k visits to the website and 522 submissions. We have reviewed the feedback and presented the feedback to the Waitākere Ranges Local Board.
Engagement insights
The highest number of submissions were for the following four themes:
1. Retain parking on one side of the road between West Coast Road and Selo Street (on the Selo development side of the road). This:
Allows some parking for residents and visitors
Reduces the likelihood of displacing these parked vehicles to nearby side streets, or illegal parking, parking on berms and damaging infrastructure
Maintains a safer speed environment for road users by keeping a narrower carriageway
Removing all parking will make this road more attractive to drivers to use Glengarry Road as an alternative route to West Coast Road, and increase traffic volume
2. Support for the removal of parking between 334 and 344a Glengarry Road.
3. Request to extend the Broken Yellow Lines (BYLs) to include up to the corner of Nicolas Ave, as this corner often has vehicles parked on both sides, and visibility can be restricted by the curve of the road. Feedback was split between removal of parking on one side of the road, or both sides of the road at this section.
4. Support for Broken Yellow Lines near Visionwest (275–279 and 282–288 Glengarry Road)
Feedback outside the scope of the proposal included:
Feedback
Comment
Removing berms, gardens, trees, widening the road, or removing footpaths to provide additional parking.
Purchasing land to provide additional parking.
Installing safety cameras (NZ Police)
These are outside the scope and budget of this project.
Concern that Auckland Council or Auckland Transport caused this issue by providing consent to the Selo Development without provision for additional car parks.
The government changed how councils nationwide can provide for on-site car parking, in the National Policy Statement on Urban Development (NPSUD). The NPSUD directed all New Zealand councils to remove minimum car parking rules from their planning documents by 20 February 2022, except for accessible/mobility car parking, which councils can still require.
On 11 February 2022, Auckland Council amended the Auckland Unitary Plan to remove minimum car parking requirements for developments across the city, as directed by central government.
Project outcome
Based on public feedback, we will:
Extend the Broken Yellow Lines on the western side of Glengarry Road from the intersection of West Coast Road to the intersection of Nicolas Avenue. We no longer propose to install Broken Yellow lines on the eastern side of the road between West Coast Road and Selo Street. This will allow for two-way traffic flow and will retain parking on the eastern side of Glengarry Road (Selo Development side).
Install Broken Yellow Lines between 275 - 279 and 282 - 288 Glengarry Road.
We will proceed with these changes and monitor these changes going forward. If needed in the future additional parking restrictions can be considered. Any future changes in include opportunity for further public engagement.
A drawing of the final outcome is available to be downloaded from the documents section on this page.
About the project
We’ve received requests from members of the community to improve vehicle access along Glengarry Road in Glen Eden. When vehicles are parked on both sides of the road in some locations this can make it difficult for other traffic to drive through safely.
In some locations having cars parked on both sides of the road presents access issues not just for residents, but to bus services, emergency services and large vehicles like rubbish trucks. Changes have been requested to provide ease of access for all vehicles, and for residents to get in and out of their homes and the street safely.
The changes weproposed:
Paint “no stopping at all times” (broken yellow lines) :
Outside #359 between existing broken yellow lines on either side. (Approximately 15m of new broken yellow lines).
between #334 and #344A, between existing broken yellow lines. (Approximately 33m of new broken yellow lines)
Between #345 and #327 that tie into existing broken yellow lines. (Approximately 75m of new broken yellow lines)
between #279 and #275, that tie into the existing broken yellow lines outside #275. (Approximately 105m of new broken yellow lines)
between #288 and #282, that tie into the existing broken yellow lines outside #288. (Approximately 12m of new broken yellow lines.)
A drawing of the proposed changes is available to download from this website.
Benefits to your community
Clears and ensures ease of access for all residents, emergency services and large vehicles such as rubbish trucks along Glengarry Road
Improves visibility for drivers to see oncoming vehicles as well as people walking, cycling and crossing the road. This makes it safer particularly for tamariki (children), who can be hard to see when there are lots of cars parked on the road.
Improves safety by preventing parked vehicles from obstructing the view for drivers coming out of driveways and access to homes along the road during emergency situations.
What happens next
The engagement period of this proposal is now closed, and we have reviewed the insights from the community. The outcomes have been shared at the top of this page.
Once the changes have been resolved by the Traffic Control Committee, the changes will be installed on Glengarry Road. We expect this work will be completed within one day of work. We will monitor these changes and if needed in the future, additional parking restrictions can be considered.
