Blockhouse Bay & Lynfield - Dominion Rd double decker bus mitigation Blockhouse Bay & Lynfield - Dominion Rd double decker bus mitigation

Proposal status: closed 19 July 2018

Reference number: RTV-046

We're proposing changes in your area

We are proposing to provide clearance on the roads around Dominion Road for double decker buses to be introduced on the bus routes in this area.

Double decker buses require more lateral clearance at bus stops and mid-block than single decker buses. We are proposing to install edge line marking, formalising the on-street parking area, and standardise the bus stops to comply with current standards.

Why the changes are needed

These changes are needed because Dominion Road is an important primary arterial route within the road network, providing direct connection between Auckland CBD and the southern suburbs, as well as a link to Auckland Airport.
