Updates on Airport to Botany Rapid Transit given to Howick Local Board, what options where considered by AT and partners

Ben Ross made this Official Information request to Auckland Transport

The request was successful.

From: Ben Ross

Dear Auckland Transport,

On 15 October you provided Howick Local Board with this update
Airport to Botany Rapid Transport Network

5. A key part of Auckland Transport’s public transport strategy is the plan to provide an east-west ‘Rapid Transit Network’ that links Auckland Airport with Botany via Manukau. This project involves the New Zealand Transport Agency, Auckland Airport and Auckland Transport working together over a number of years to plan and build a bus or light rail link between these points.

6. Auckland Transport briefed the Southern Local Board Cluster meeting on 17 September 2018. This briefing discussed the very wide long ‘list’ of options currently being considered and the possible ‘short list’ that was being developed.

7. At the briefing Auckland Transport outlined the process for further discussion including public consultation and providing an opportunity for local boards to engage in the process.

8. Like previous discussions with local boards, the September briefing was positive and local boards including the HLB (which has stated its support by resolution) continue to support the project. This was particularly evident with regard to the social procurement opportunities that the project is creating.

9. Finally, from HLB’s perspective the relationship between this project and AMETI is important to reinforce. AMETI – Eastern Busway Stage Four is the development of a public transport hub at Botany. This hub will provide a link between the East Auckland’s busways and the proposed east-west link provided by the Airport to Botany project.

My questions or requests are

Can the briefing of the wide list of options please as seen in (6) (including the options themselves) be list into the public realm and if possible the short range options under consideration

When will public consultation due to start for A2B

What are the qualifications for A2B to be Light Rail rather than a bus way?

Yours faithfully,

Ben Ross
