Manage episode 453499224 series 2098280
There's hopes a shakeup at Auckland Transport will bring more democratic decisions.
The council will now take control of transport policy and planning, as well as road control.
A new Auckland Regional Transport Committee will be created to develop a 30-year transport plan – agreed to by Cabinet and the council.
Howick Local board Chair Damian Light told Ryan Bridge it could mean locations for controversial infrastructure like cycleways and pedestrian crossings are more carefully chosen.
He says it could mean they only end up in areas where people want them.
