#GreenLightGlenvar - Auckland Council Backtrack

GLENVAR RD PROJECT DEFERRED INDEFINITELY

The Glenvar Road project our community fought so hard for has been deferred in Auckland Council’s recently released emergency budget.

​After our petition and presentation to Auckland Transport in 2018, the Glenvar/Glamorgan/East Coast Rd upgrade was announced in the Regional Land Transport Plan and given a 1A priority. Plans have since been drawn up, consulted on and confirmed. Geotechnical work was underway.

​This is a key transport project for the East Coast Bays - upgrading, realigning and signalising intersections on probably the most dangerous road in the Bays for motorists, cyclists and pedestrians.

​$600m worth of confirmed roading projects were given the green light by AT but Glenvar was put in the deferred pile with no indication of when it will re-start.

​Glenvar is NOT a project that can be deferred. This is an essential infrastructure project and an essential safety upgrade. We have waited decades for this and we can not wait any longer.

​Once again, Erica Stanford MP will be teaming up with Julia Parfitt as well as Local Board members Alexis Poppelbaum and Gary Holmes to mount a massive community campaign to #GreenLightGlenvar.
