We're proposing changes in your area

We are proposing to signalise the intersection of Karaka Street and Taharoto Road in Takapuna. The changes include signalised pedestrian crossings on Karaka Street and Taharoto Road, cycle lead-in lanes and advanced stop boxes, kerb build-out and footpath extension, changes to road markings and signage, and removing the existing splitter island on Karaka Road.

Why the changes are needed

These changes will improve pedestrian and road safety at this intersection. Taharoto Road is five lanes wide with a flush median and cycle lanes, and it is currently difficult for pedestrians to cross.

Proposal outcome

The majority of the feedback we have received has been in support of the proposal. The project will proceed without changes to the next stage of detailed planning.

A number of respondents has expressed some concerns, or provided us with some suggestions. A summary of this, and our responses to these questions and concerns, can be found below.

Next steps
