About the project
We propose changes to parking along Puna Street to improve vehicle movement around the street.
The road is narrow (less than 5 metres wide), and when cars are parked around the top of the cul-de-sac and traffic island, it is hard for vehicles to get past, including rubbish trucks.
We propose to install some broken yellow lines (no stopping at all times) which will formalise parking to one side of the street and keep access clear for vehicles to turn while retaining some parking.
Install broken yellow lines around the corner of Coates Avenue and Puna Street and around the circle of the cul-de-sac.
Install broken yellow lines around the edge of the middle traffic island.
Benefits and impacts
This project aims to improve vehicle access.
We understand that our proposal to restrict parking may not be welcomed by everyone. Residents including waste collectors have expressed their concerns about access requesting Auckland Transport to intervene. We're aiming for a fair balance approach that improves access while retaining some parking.
The proposed changes would result in a loss of 19 on-street parking. However, the road width does not allow vehicles to be parked opposite each other, because it would complete block the road. Therefore, there is no actual loss in parking opportunities.
What we want your feedback on
