About the project
Howick Local Board has identified your area for improvements. In response to requests received by Howick Local Board, Auckland Transport are proposing to upgrade the current crossing to a raised zebra crossing on Valderama Drive, outside Mission Heights Primary and Junior College.
Listening to what you have to say is important to us. Your local knowledge can help us make better decisions, so together we can achieve the best outcomes for your neighbourhood.
This project is funded by the Local Board Transport Capital Fund. This fund is used to make improvements based on community priorities, which may not be covered by other programmes of work. The improvements will be delivered by Auckland Transport on behalf of your local board.
What we are proposing
We are proposing to:
Install a zebra crossing on top of a speed hump, raised to the height of the footpath. The speed hump is flat and wide with a long off-ramp, which makes it more comfortable for larger vehicles and their passengers.
Install concrete tactile pavers (yellow guidance paving markers) to help people find their way to the crossing and safely cross the road.
Install new signs and beacon lights on the raised zebra crossing.
Remove eight car parks on Valderama Drive to improve driver visibility of the crossing, and create easy movements for bus services.
Remove one car park on Ameretto Avenue to extend the no parking broken yellow lines on the corner of the intersection and improve driver visibility.
You can find more information on the back of this page, and a drawing showing the proposed changes has been sent with this letter.
These improvements will promote safer speeds in the community.
The crossing improves safety for pedestrians, especially school students crossing the road, as they will be at the eye-level of approaching motorists, making them easier to see.
The raised crossing will also make it more comfortable for everyone, including people with prams and wheelchairs, to cross the road as the crossing is level with the footpath.
