Subject: Official Information request - NZUP Northern Pathway options

 

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
