Subject: Official Information request - Maintenance plan for shared paths
alongside motorways

 

CAUTION: The sender of this email is from outside Waka Kotahi. Do not

address and know the content is safe.

 

Dear New Zealand Transport Agency,

 

I am writing to request the maintenance schedule for the shared path
alongside SH20 that goes between Orpheus Drive and Queenstown Road.

This has not been maintained for at least the last two years and
vegetation overgrowth has now made the path effectively one way at a pinch
point.

Please include what the schedule should be, when the next maintenance is
planned, and any records of previous maintenance undertaken.

 

I would also like information on how cycleways are swept that are on-road
within NZTA jurisdiction in Auckland, for example at the HIllsborough Road
off and onramps going onto SH20.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

J Turner

On 24/01/23 you asked for information. 

 

The following questions were transferred to Auckland Council. They will
respond to you directly. 
 
1) I am writing to request the maintenance schedule for the shared path
alongside SH20 that goes between Orpheus Drive and Queenstown Road.
2) This has not been maintained for at least the last two years and
vegetation overgrowth has now made the path effectively one way at a pinch
point.
3) Please include what the schedule should be, when the next maintenance
is planned, and any records of previous maintenance undertaken.
 
Our contractor Downer confirmed that we don’t have any record of Orpheus
Dr sweeping. The last recorded date for Queenstown Road was 3/6/21, this
does not include the off road cyclepath. There is cyclic maintenance that
is programmed every 3-6 months. In terms of vegetation, Auckland
Transport only do leaf sweeping when we are notified by the public,
however any other vegetation concerns such as low hanging branches is

Subject: Official Information request - Maintenance plan for shared paths
alongside motorways
 
CAUTION: The sender of this email is from outside Waka Kotahi. Do not

address and know the content is safe.
 
Dear New Zealand Transport Agency,
 
I am writing to request the maintenance schedule for the shared path
alongside SH20 that goes between Orpheus Drive and Queenstown Road.
This has not been maintained for at least the last two years and
vegetation overgrowth has now made the path effectively one way at a pinch
point.
Please include what the schedule should be, when the next maintenance is
planned, and any records of previous maintenance undertaken.
 
I would also like information on how cycleways are swept that are on-road
within NZTA jurisdiction in Auckland, for example at the HIllsborough Road
off and onramps going onto SH20.
 
Yours faithfully,
 
J Turner

Dear AT Official Information (AT),

Thank you for your reply.

I was forwarded information from Councillor Julie Fairey relating to this path, where she asked about maintenance of the path and received the following from the AT elected member liaison:

"NZTA own the land while the pathway is AT’s responsibility. AT has logged a job for a contractor to sweep the pathway between Queenstown Rd and Tamanu Reserve. A contractor has also been engaged to clear the vegetation and make the area clear. A job has been logged for the chair to be removed. "

I note that the top half of the path was cut back relatively recently. I have received info from Auckland Council that they will look at maintaining this path but it goes back to one of my original questions about maintenance schedules for cycle paths and I woul dlike to understand how this works across wider Auckland. I note issues with leaf litter in cycle paths are common in Auckland as these are not easily able to be swept off the road.

Cheers
Jon

Yours sincerely,

J Turner

On 24/01/23 you asked for information. 

 

The following questions were transferred to Auckland Council. They will
respond to you directly. 
 
1) I am writing to request the maintenance schedule for the shared path
alongside SH20 that goes between Orpheus Drive and Queenstown Road.
2) This has not been maintained for at least the last two years and
vegetation overgrowth has now made the path effectively one way at a pinch
point.
3) Please include what the schedule should be, when the next maintenance
is planned, and any records of previous maintenance undertaken.
 
Our contractor Downer confirmed that we don’t have any record of Orpheus
Dr sweeping. The last recorded date for Queenstown Road was 3/6/21, this
does not include the off road cyclepath. There is cyclic maintenance that
is programmed every 3-6 months. In terms of vegetation, Auckland
Transport only do leaf sweeping when we are notified by the public,
however any other vegetation concerns such as low hanging branches is
actioned by Auckland Council.
 
Should you believe that we have not dealt with your request appropriately,
you are able to make a complaint to the Office of the Ombudsman in
accordance with section 27(3) of the LGOIMA Act and seek an investigation
and review in regard to this matter.

 

You can contact the Ombudsman at [1][5]https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.o... or

Dear AT Official Information (AT),

I am wanting to know the maintenance schedule of the shared paths that sit alongside motorways.
The example I am referring to here sits beside SH20 between Queenstown Road and Orpheus Drive.
This has not had maintenance for at least 3 years, until maintenance referred to in my earlier reply was done following Councillor Fairey's email.
It may be useful for you to read the entire thread of correspondence, linked here: [5]https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://fyi....
In short:
NZTA say this is AT's responsibility.
AT pass this on to Auckand Council.
Auckland Council don't do it as this is NZTA land.

I am keen to understand who is responsible for maintaining both this shared path, and others such as the one alongside SH16 between Pt Chev and Avondale.
I am also asking for what level of maintenance is required as part of this contract - how often should the path be swept, when is vegetation cut back, etc.

Yours sincerely,

J Turner
