NZUP Northern Pathway options
Tim Adriaansen made this Official Information request to New Zealand Transport Agency
The request was partially successful.
From: Tim Adriaansen
Dear New Zealand Transport Agency,
In documents released related to the NZUP programme, and Northern Pathway specifically, a number of statements are made for which I am requesting supporting documentation.
Document bri-2174 (northern pathway options summary) dated 11 May 2021, paragraph 27 notes in relation to lane reallocation of the harbour bridge that "Converting a single lane was also considered, however this is not considered safe given the resultant width and speed differential between users."
- Please provide the engineers/consultants report or other documentation on which this conclusion was based, including lane-width assessments and layout designs upon which the assessment was made.
Paragraph 28 of the same document states "Removing a lane will increase emissions. Modelling indicates the resultant congestion will encourage general traffic to uptake the alternative longer SH16 route and these emissions will exceed any reductions from users transferring to walking and cycling."
- Please provide all modelling and reports (both traffic and emissions modelling) on which this conclusion is based.
Yours faithfully,
Tim Adriaansen
