Dear Auckland Transport,

I hereby request the following information under the Official Information Act 1982 regarding recent design changes to Project K (Karanga-a-hape Station precinct integration project):

1. Consultation Documentation
a) Provide all records of consultation (including dates, participants, and methodologies) used to justify the redesign of:
- East Street cycleway replacement with sharrows
- Cross Street footpath reductions

b) Specifically identify which business owners/residents provided feedback that led to these changes, including:
- Full correspondence/meeting notes
- Quantitative analysis showing how this feedback outweighed 2023 consultation results (349 survey responses, 391 Social Pinpoint comments, 45 postal submissions)

2. Strategic Justification
a) Explain how the redesign aligns with:
- Auckland 2050 Plan
- City Centre Masterplan (specifically Transformational Move 5)
- Access for Everyone (A4E) strategy
- Transport Emissions Reduction Pathway (TERP)
- Vision Zero commitments

b) Provide the cost-benefit analysis showing how vehicle access improvements outweigh:
- Loss of pedestrian space for 40,000 daily CRL users
- Removal of existing cycle infrastructure
- Contradiction of City Centre Targeted Rate funding conditions

3. Design Process Records
a) All internal communications (2024-present) regarding:
- Rationale for bypassing Waitematā Local Board approval
- Consideration of CCO obligations under Local Government Act
- Risk assessments regarding $4.5M City Centre Targeted Rate funding

b) Technical reports justifying claims that redesigned features:
- "Maintain pedestrian safety" without raised crossings
- "Maximise CRL benefits" while reducing pedestrian priority
- Align with CRL's $5.5B investment objectives

Please respond in writing within 20 working days. If any information cannot be released, cite specific OIA provisions and provide redacted versions where possible.

Regards,
Zak Morrison
