Press Release: Auckland City Council

24 November 2004

From today, citybound motorists driving along Karangahape Road will notice a change to the bus lane east and west of Day Street.

The section east of Day Street has been extended by 50 metres making it more accessible for buses. The section west of Day Street has been removed, allowing for more parking.

The added section will stop parked cars causing delays for buses accessing the lane.

The change will improve bus travel times along Karangahape Road in peak traffic and benefit cyclists, who are able to bypass traffic queues by using the lane.

Auckland City’s previous transport committee approved the change to the bus lane in June 2004.

Public Housing Futures: Christmas Comes Early For Landlords

New CTU analysis of the National & ACT coalition agreement has shown the cost of returning interest deductibility to landlords is an extra $900M on top of National’s original proposal. This is because it is going to be implemented earlier and faster, including retrospective rebates from April 2023. More

Green Party: Petition To Save Oil & Gas Ban

“The new Government’s plan to expand oil and gas exploration is as dangerous as it is unscientific. Whatever you think about the new government, there is simply no mandate to trash the climate. We need to come together to stop them,” says James Shaw. More

PSA: MFAT Must Reverse Decision To Remove Te Reo

MFAT's decision to remove te reo from correspondence before new Ministers are sworn in risks undermining the important progress the public sector has made in honouring te Tiriti. "We are very disappointed in what is a backward decision - it simply seems to be a Ministry bowing to the racist rhetoric we heard on the election campaign trail," says Marcia Puru. More
