Carbon Payback Auckland Walking Cycling Harbour Bridge
Phillip Hart made this Official Information request to Michael Wood
The request was refused by Michael Wood.
From: Phillip Hart
Dear Michael Wood,
Please advise what is the time frame for the recently announced Walking and Cycling Bridge across Auckland Harbour to achieve carbon neutrality. That is, given the carbon impact of the materials for and construction of the bridge vs the estimated reduced carbon emissions from users of the bridge.
Please also include the detail of the estimated number of vehicle crossings that will be eliminated by the bridge in the first year after its completion. This should include the estimated proportion of bridge cyclists and walkers that have migrated from public transport to cycling/walking and from passenger vehicles to cycling/walking.
Yours faithfully,
Phillip Hart
