Subject: Re: OIA-17556 REQUEST FOR CLARIFICATION

 

Dear Official Correspondence,

 

Thanks for your reply,

I am most interested in the timeline between 6th October 2023 through to
the current date (February 2nd 2025)

 

In regards to bullet point 3 - I am interested in how the new requirements
of the NLTP funding (walking to be funded separately from other projects,
and the limited scope of this funding across the NLTP), affected the
decision to remove pedestrian crossings from this project. So, any meeting
minutes that refer to the funding changes of the NLTP and the scope of
this project, both internal and at NZTA board level if relevant.

Yours sincerely,

 

J Turner
