Cameron Pitches made this Official Information request to New Zealand Transport Agency

The request was successful.

From: Cameron Pitches

Dear New Zealand Transport Agency,

re: Additional Waitemata Harbour Crossing (AWHC)

I am aware that route protection for the AWHC project is proceeding, and it appears that the chosen solution includes additional capacity for motor vehicles.

Could you please provide me in electronic format:

1. A statement defining the land transport problem or issue that the proposed AWHC solution is attempting to address.
2. The studies and comparative assessments of alternative solutions that the NZTA has conducted, including, but not restricted to, an electrified rail only crossing of the Waitemata Harbour between the Auckland isthmus and the North Shore.

Please contact me if you require any further information concerning this request.

Yours faithfully,

Cameron Pitches
Convenor
