I wonder if this bodes anything with respect to the long-threatened second harbour crossing through Point Chevalier...
-
Might clamber up Mount Albert on the weekend and ponder the shape of things to come.

Wonder what social impact comes from removing so many parks?
Oakley Creek has been in the news for an appalling crime recently. Not sure that concerting over rogue parks is the answer the area was looking for, though.

Labour running a bad line at the moment - don't make it about Mt Albert and the by-election guys. Making a long-term Auckland-wide issue look like a political grab for a single by-election doesn't play well.
It's like they saw David Farrar's line about "Labour's pet tunnel" and decided to jump into the trap for shits and giggles.

Can't find the link right now, but Bill Ralston - ever the optimist - has declared that now is a great time for Montaubertistes to get compensation cash and hit the property market. Hoorah!

Kim: Josh's link to the business case for the connection shows that both connection options to Patiki Road weren't shortlisted - one didn't meet most of the project requirements, and both would have cost about the same as the chosen bored tunnels.

This may be the place to do it as well - Jarbury thanks for your factual investigation and willingness to spread it across multiple blogs. It's certainly been of interest to me.
Seconded. I only discovered Josh's blog today and have been happily browsing through it.

It's an extremely minor issue given what is reportedly to come, but I wonder what will be left of the cycleway connection to SH16 once this goes through. At very least I suspect the rather nice (and expensive) cycle/pedestrian bridge is going to be permanently retired.
-
Josh: so I'm assuming this is the budget open cut with no central exchange option ($1.3b to $1.45b) in the business case you linked to before?
-
And Josh is already on it...
