Massive milestone for East Auckland
As reported in the Times ‘Construction starts on $1.4b Eastern Busway’
The Eastern Busway is a potential game changer for transport in our area.
Changes coming to Pakuranga Road with mixed feedback from locals
Last Wednesday night, over a hundred locals packed the Bucklands Beach Yacht Club for a public meeting on transport. Organised by Pakuranga MP Simeon Brown, the meeting was focused on some upcoming changes to Pakuranga Road proposed by Auckland Transport (AT) as during the construction of the Eastern Busway.
Will a transit lane for Pakuranga Road be a help or a hindrance?
As any local will know, Pakuranga Road is an extremely busy place every day and with the incoming construction work for AMETI Eastern Busway, this is going to get worse. To help, Auckland Transport is proposing some big changes
Construction and destruction underway
As part of the changes required for the AMETI Eastern Busway, Auckland Transport has begun removing 61 houses along Pakuranga Road.
Like many, I was concerned about the loss of housing especially considering the current housing market. Investing in transport is an absolute must for East Auckland and we need to get this busway built so we can move onto other transport projects, but it's important we make good decisions.
