For years I've been battling with Auckland Transport to try address the lack of pedestrian crossings on the Mt Wellington Highway near Sylvia Park. Not just a major shopping destination, it's also a transport hub for the area but there's gaps in the footpaths.
I recently noticed roadworks underway on one of the on ramps and what appeared to be a new pedestrian crossing. My excitement was quickly dampened when I discovered this pole had been placed right in the centre of the new footpath.
It's clearly a hazard, especially for people with wheelchairs, prams or mobility scooters. Not sure who's fault it is but clearly it doesn't belong here.
I've asked AT what is happening...
