To address the crash history and make the road safer for people walking and driving along Aviemore Drive, Auckland Transport is proposing changes and is seeking feedback until 10 December 2023.
Between 2018 and 2022, there were 36 recorded crashes along Aviemore Drive between Highland Park Drive and Lewisham Street. This included two crashes that resulted in fatalities, four crashes that resulted in serious injuries and nine crashes that resulted in minor injuries.
At the Highland Park Drive and Aviemore Drive intersection AT are proposing to:
Install a roundabout, making minor changes to the existing traffic islands to accommodate. This will not affect the existing trees.
Paint pedestrian and cyclist crossings on all legs of the intersection and install cycle path and separators near the intersection so people on bikes can navigate the roundabout safely.
These changes will result in the loss of nine on-street parking spaces.
Between Aberfeldy Avenue and Lewisham Street, AT are proposing to:
Install a raised pedestrian crossing with a long off ramp.
Relocate the existing bus stop from outside 94 to 104 Aviemore Drive and install a new bus stop between 101 and 103 Aviemore Drive.
These changes will result in the loss of 16 on street parking spaces
Attached is a concept design of the new roundabout and designs for both the roundabout and new pedestrian crossing.
