Auckland Transport are working with developers in the Orewa West area in order to ensure that their developments can proceed without adverse effects on the transport network. The Orewa West Plan Change covers the development of land in the areas around West Hoe Heights Road/Maire Road/Sunny Heights Road and Flavell Drive.
As part of the Plan Change an Integrated Transport Assessment (ITA) was provided. The ITA outlined the structure of the development as well as the need for transport infrastructure improvement projects, including the signalisation of the Flavell Drive / Grand Drive intersection, to ensure that the residential development can progress in the Orewa West area without congestion and safety issues.
The proposal also takes into consideration expected future growth and will help to accommodate for predicted demand at this location. When the subject development is fully developed, traffic congestion at this location will frequently prevent vehicles from exiting Flavell Drive onto Grand Drive, particularly at peak hours. This is considered to be a safety and capacity issue. Therefore, the proposed intersection changes will allow for a smoother flow of traffic on all legs of the intersection, creating a safer environment for all road users.
This project includes installation of signals within the existing layout of the intersection and upgraded pedestrian and cycling facilities. In addition, nearby bus stops will be relocated to better service current and future land development. Additional works include minor improvements to storm water, construction of a low level retaining wall to support a private vehicle crossing that will be relocated as part of this project.
