Auckland Transport (AT) is working together with the community to test people-friendly spaces and safer ways to travel on Ponsonby Road.
These will be temporary changes that can be tested and adjusted once in place. Similar projects in Auckland can be seen on Sale Street and High Street in the city.
The response so far has been great. Between 16 November and 10 December 2020, we received over 1500 pieces of feedback from the community with some fantastic ideas put forward. A community design group of locals was then formed to build on these ideas. This group features members of the business community, Waitemata Local Board, residents’ associations, Bike Auckland, and other members of the community. The project is in good hands with this highly engaged and knowledgeable community group.
The first community design workshop was held on 13 December 2020. The group analysed feedback from the public to understand the different issues, needs, and opportunities for Ponsonby Road. After the summer break the group re-convened on 17 January 2021 to identify specific locations where changes could be put in place.
A third workshop will be held in February when the group will get down to the finer details and develop specific concepts and design options to be shared with the community.
