Subject: Official Information request - Cost of bus indent removal at The
Avenue, Lynfield

Dear Auckland Transport,
I would like to know the combined cost of the project to remove the bus
parking indents at the Hillsborough Road end of The Avenue, Lynfield, as
well as the current cost of reinstating them, as well as the reasons why
they were removed in the first place.

Yours faithfully,
Glenn Barratt

Dear Glenn,

 

The team working on this project have provided some additional context
surrounding the figures provided:

 

The cost to remove the indented bus bay was $24,365.63.  At the same time,
a further $198,016.54 was spent to:

 

o improve bus tracking for buses U-turning at the Reserve Access
o close off the gap in the median island closer to Hillsborough Road
o install new pram crossings and island cut-through. This required a
street light column to be shifted

 

All of the works listed in the bullet points above still exist and are
part of the current street environment. 

 

The current project which includes additional space, safety improvements
and an extension of the former recessed bus bay has a contract value of
$252,259.00, with outturn cost to be confirmed, as work is ongoing.

 

I do trust this answers your follow up question.

 

This case is now closed.

 

Kind regards,
