Description of the Project

1.1

City Rail Link

The City Rail Link (CRL) project comprises the construction, operation and maintenance of a 3.4km underground passenger railway, running between Britomart Station and the North Auckland Rail Line (NAL) near Mt Eden Station. CRL Enabling Works commenced in December 2015 and the procurement of the main works contract (C3 Alliance) is being progressed with contract award likely in the first quarter of 2019. To allow works to commence as soon as possible upon award of the C3 Alliance, City Rail Link Limited (CRLL) are obtaining the necessary authorisations for demolition of buildings in the Mount Eden construction support area (CSA) and active construction zone (ACZ).

1.2

Advance Works Project

It is proposed to demolish the buildings and structures in the Mount Eden ACZ and CSA (â€œthe Projectâ€?), as identified in Figure 1-1 below. The Project is being undertaken in accordance with CRL Designation 2500-6, confirmed in November 2015 and the Aotea Station to North Auckland Line (A2NAL) suite of resource consents approved in November 2016. The conditions of these authorisations require the preparation of an Outline Plan (OP), Delivery Work Plans (DWP) and Management Plans (MP). This Transport, Access and Parking DWP is prepared in accordance with the CRL Designation and resource consent conditions and identified in the hierarchy of documentation illustrated in Figure 1-2.

Figure 1-2 CRL Outline Plan Contents

The properties included in the Project area were purchased by Auckland Transport for the purposes of the CRL Project and are currently under CRLLâ€™s management. Most of the properties to be demolished are tenanted as of October 2018 with the remainder unoccupied. CRLL plan to commence the process of vacating the properties towards the end of 2018 and early 2019 to ensure sites are vacant in reasonable time ahead of the planned disconnection of services. Demolition will be undertaken in a staged manner, the order of which is to be confirmed by the C3 Alliance. All buildings and structures will be removed to ground level, with the retention of some existing foundations where necessary for site stability. A soft strip of salvageable materials will be carried out where possible. All demolition material will be removed from the Project area and disposed of at approved facilities. The Project area will be fenced, with lockable gates, to prevent unauthorised entry. Where appropriate, solid plywood fencing will be used, with appropriate signage prohibiting unauthorised entry and identifying hazards.

1.3

Hours of Operation

Works will generally be undertaken between 7:00 am and 6:00 pm Monday to Friday, and 7:00 am to 2:00 pm Saturday.

1.4

Workforce

The project workforce will have access to the site at 18 Ruru Street for site office and contractor parking. This site has capacity for approximately 20 parking spaces. The workforce will also have access to the existing off-street parking spaces within CSA properties before they are demolished, as well as full sites once they are cleared.

1.5

Work Travel Demand Management

The workforce is anticipated to be very small, and travel demand management practices such as car sharing and staff shuttles are not expected to be necessary or effective. However, the project workforce will be provided with public transport travel information, and encouraged to car pool. Workforce shifts will generally begin prior to the morning commuter peak and finish after the evening commuter peak.

General Traffic Environment

4.1.1

Mt Eden Road

Mt Eden Road is classified as an Arterial Road within the Auckland Unitary Plan Operative in Part (AUP). It carries approximately 15,100 weekday vehicles1. The peak hour flows are summarised in Table 4-1. Table 4-1 Existing Traffic Movements on Mt Eden Road, south of Boston Road 2

Approximately 6% of Mt Eden Road traffic are heavy commercial vehicles (HCVs), with much of this due to bus services. The route is strategically significant for public transport services, with Mt Eden Road bus services part of Auckland Transportâ€™s Frequent Service Network. Northbound bus lanes operate directly outside the site during the morning peak period (7-10 am weekdays), and southbound lanes are provided elsewhere on Mt Eden Road during the evening peak (4-7 pm weekdays). Intermittent on-street parking is permitted on Mt Eden Road, with those on the east side of the road generally P60 spaces (Monday to Saturday) and those on the west side are generally P30 (Monday to Saturday, except when the northbound bus lane is in operation as above).

4.1.2

New North Road

New North Road is classified as an Arterial Road within the AUP. It carries approximately 20,300 daily vehicles3. The peak hour flows are summarised in Table 4-2. Table 4-2 Existing Traffic Movements on New North Road, south of Ngahura Street 4

Approximately 4% of New North Road are HCVs, with much of this due to bus services. The route is strategically significant for public transport services, with New North Road bus services part of Auckland Transportâ€™s Frequent Service Network. Eastbound bus lanes operate directly outside the site during the morning peak period (7-9 am weekdays). The westbound lanes have a clearway restriction during the evening peak (4-6pm weekdays). Intermittent on-street parking is permitted on New North Road. East of Exmouth Street, this parking is paid parking on both sides of the road. West of Exmouth Street on-street parking is generally P30 spaces on the north side of the road and P60 on the south side (Monday to Saturday, except when the eastbound bus lane/westbound clearway is in operation as above). 1

4.1.3

Local Roads

Ngahura Street, Korari Street, Flower Street, Shaddock Street, Nikau Street and Ruru Street are streets without Arterial classifications within the AUP. Each of these streets provide access to local properties and commercial businesses within the area of the Project. All streets have carriageway widths of 7.5 to 10 m, supporting a single traffic lane in each direction and intermittent on-street car parking. The peak hour flows are summarised in Table 4-3.

Ngahura Street, Ruru Street, Korari Street and Flower Street connect to the wider network at New North Road. Ngahura Street and Flower Street do so at priority-controlled T-Intersections and Ruru Street meets New North Road at a priority controlled cross roads (with Rendall Place). Korari Street meets New North Road at a signalised intersection with Exmouth Street (with Korari Street and Exmouth Street meeting New North Road at two separate offset T-intersections). Nikau Street connects to Mt Eden Road to the northeast at a priority-controlled T-intersection. Right turns into Nikau Street from Mt Eden are banned. Within the Project area, all internal intersections are priority controlled. On-street car parking within the Project area is generally unrestricted, although there are short sections of P5 and P60 parking on Ruru Street, and P120 parking on Nikau Street. The existing onstreet parking capacity within the Project area (i.e. immediately outside properties within the CRL designation) is approximately 65 vehicles. Existing demand for these spaces is known to be high.

4.1.4

General Traffic Environment Prior to Demolition Works

Prior to the demolition works commencing, all existing buildings within the Project area will be vacated. The buildings within the Project area represent a significant proportion of the existing land uses within the wider area bounded by Ngahura Street, New North Road, Mt Eden Road and the NAL corridor, and as a result, vacating these properties will result in significant reductions in the volume of traffic on the streets servicing the area. The existing traffic volumes to and from the properties to be vacated by the demolition works were surveyed in June 2015. This survey indicated that the buildings to be demolished currently generate 212 vehicle trips in the morning peak hour, and 172 trips in the evening peak hour. This equates to approximately 1,900 vehicle trips per day on weekdays. These volumes have been deducted from the existing traffic volumes presented in Section 4.1, to identify the traffic state expected immediately prior to the demolition works. This is summarised in Table 4-4. Table 4-4 Estimated Peak Hour Traffic Volumes on Local Roads within Project Area, prior to Demolition Works

The pre-demolition traffic volumes on each of the above streets are generally very low, and reductions (relative to existing traffic volumes) are estimated to be up to 70%. The traffic associated with the buildings being removed from Ngahura Street, Ruru Street, Korari Street, Flower Street and Shaddock Street above have also been removed from the existing traffic volumes on Mt Eden Road and New North Road. The distribution of these trips removed has been based on the existing directional split at each intersection. The resulting estimated pre-demolition traffic flows are summarised in Table 4-5 and Table 4-6, respectively.

Reductions in traffic volumes on Mt Eden Road and New North Road due to the vacating of properties within the Project area are predicted to be modest, relative to existing traffic volumes â€“ in the order of 1% to 6% during peak periods. The vacating of the existing properties within the Project area will additionally reduce the existing onstreet parking demand in the area. This will release up to 65 on-street parking spaces. It is noted that the building formerly occupying the 18 Ruru Street site has already been demolished for the purposes of the CRL Construction Contract 6 works. These works will have been completed prior to the proposed demolition works, and the 18 Ruru Street site will be vacant.

4.2

Walking and Cycling Environment

All roads within the immediate vicinity of the Project have footpaths on each side of the road, with the exception of Shaddock Street which only has a footpath on the northern side of the road. Existing pedestrian movements at internal intersections within the Project area generally do not provide for all user abilities, with missing pram ramps on some crossings. The signalised intersection of Korari Street/New North Road/Exmouth Street provides signal-controlled pedestrian crossings of all three streets. Ngahura Street provides an important pedestrian connection to Mt Eden Station and on to Fenton Street (for Wynyard Road), via a pedestrian rail level crossing. A short section of westbound cycle lane is provided on New North Road, immediately west of the intersection with Mt Eden Road/Symonds Street, and advance cycle boxes are provided on the New North Road approaches to the Korari Street/Exmouth Street intersection. In other regards, the immediate area has no dedicated cycle infrastructure.

Proposed Traffic Management

5.1

Philosophy

This DWP has been developed in general accordance with the traffic management approach put forward in the CRL designation conditions and the supporting ITA, as well as with Auckland Transport’s Code of Practice (ATCoP) and the NZ Transport Agency’s Code of Practice for Temporary Traffic Management (CoPTTM). In practical terms this means providing for the connectivity and access described in the designation conditions wherever and whenever possible and in particular for main road movements. Additional turn bans or changes to connectivity or access have been restricted to those imposed by safe operational practice, and geometric or spatial constraints for traffic management. The modal priorities adopted by this DWP are: 1. Active transport 2. Public transport 3. Freight, service vehicles, couriers and taxis 4. Private vehicles (including demolition traffic). Within CoPTTM, roads are classified based on the daily traffic volume, function and other criteria. The roads within the immediate vicinity of the Project and their classification are listed below: •

Level 2 Roads – Mt Eden Road and New North Road

•

Level 1 Roads – Flower Street and Nikau Street

•

Low Volume (LV) Roads – Ngahura Street, Ruru Street, Korari Street and Shaddock Street.

Based on the road classifications listed above, the traffic management measures proposed in this report have been developed accordingly. The below traffic management methods have been developed to be commensurate in size and scale to the demolition activities proposed and their expected effects on the transport network. It should be noted that the Project works will occur outside the road corridor. Where short term closures of lanes, or diversions of traffic or pedestrians are required, these will generally be very minor in effect, and comparable to those of a typical urban, off-street construction site.

5.2

General Traffic Management

During the proposed demolition works, all existing streets will generally remain open to all road users, with two-way carriageways and the existing footpath provisions. As a result, access to all existing properties outside the CRL designation will remain available. Short term closures may be required during periods of the demolition, and this is most likely to affect Flower Street and Shaddock Street. The closure of these streets will not occur at the same time, to ensure that properties outside the CRL designation that rely on these streets for access will continue to have one available road access. It is expected that there will be sufficient space within each site for demolition plant to be located off the street, and for the loading of trucks to occur off the street.

Aurecon | Mott MacDonald | Jasmax | ARUP

14 CRL-MTE-RME-000-RPT-0121 Project 239933 | 14 December 2018 | Revision 4

It is noted that the site at 18 Ruru Street has already been cleared for earlier enabling works. As a result, this site will be available for loading of trucks and for operating demolition equipment when demolishing the adjacent sites.

5.3

Demolition Traffic

Approximately 1,500 truck loads are estimated to be required to removed demolished material from the Project site (3,000 one-way trips), over the four- to five-month demolition period. These truck movements will generally occur between 7:00 am and 6:00 pm Monday to Friday, and 7:00 am to 2:00 pm on Saturday. This corresponds to an average of 15 trucks per weekday to remove this material (30 one-way trips). In general, truck movements will be governed by the following: •

Reverse manoeuvring of trucks shall not take place on Mt Eden Road.

•

Reverse manoeuvring of trucks may occur within local streets (Ngahura Street, Ruru Street, Korari Street, Flower Street, Nikau Street and Shaddock Street). This shall be carried out with the assistance of a spotter.

Truck movements to and from the sites will generally be via 11.5 m large rigid trucks, or smaller units. It is acknowledged that these vehicles may be required to swing across opposing lanes when traversing local streets such as Ruru Street and Nikau Street; however, these manoeuvres are considered acceptable within these very low speed, low volume environments. Larger semi-trailer trucks may occasionally deliver plant to the sites, as below. When required, delivery of large plant by over dimension vehicles will take place via the Transport Agency’s over dimension routes where practicable. These routes include the State Highway network, Newton Road, Symonds Street, Khyber Pass Road (west of Nugent Street), Normanby Road, Nugent Street and Mt Eden Road (south of Normanby Road). Access by over dimension vehicles will require these vehicles to manoeuvre limited sections of arterials and local streets that are not designated over dimension routes, including potentially sections of New North Road, Mt Eden Road, Ngahura Street, Ruru Street, Korari Street, Flower Street, Nikau Street and Shaddock Street. These vehicle movements will be occasional in nature, used only to deliver/remove large plant, will take place outside of the commuter peak periods, and will be managed by appropriate mobile traffic management. This will allow these vehicles to safely traverse multiple lanes of traffic as required. Similarly, over weight deliveries will take place where practicable via the Transport Agency’s over weight routes, which include the State Highway network, Symonds Street and Mt Eden Road.

5.4

Contractor Parking

The project workforce will have access to the site at 18 Ruru Street for site office and contractor parking. This site will have capacity for approximately 20 parking spaces. The workforce will also have access to the existing off-street parking spaces within CSA properties before they are demolished, as well as full sites once they are cleared. As a result, there is anticipated to be more than sufficient workforce parking. Prior to the demolition works commencing, properties within the Project area will all be vacated. As a result, it is expected that most of the existing on-street car parking demand within the Project area will also be removed, as will all of the existing off-street parking demand. In terms of on-street car parking alone, this will release up to 65 existing parking spaces, assuming the properties within the Project area are currently occupying the on-street parking spaces on their immediate road frontage. As a result, no significant car parking effects are anticipated.

15 CRL-MTE-RME-000-RPT-0121 Project 239933 | 14 December 2018 | Revision 4

Nonetheless, and in light of suggestions received from the CRL Mt Eden Community Liaison Group, it is recommended that if contractor parking is to occur on the street network, that this parking only be permitted directly outside properties within the CRL NOR, where practicable. The works will not require the loss of any existing private car parking. The contractor will also prepare a Travel Management Plan, documenting how private car travel and parking will be minimised by encouraging public transport, ride sharing, active travel and by staggering staff shifts.

Assessment of Effects

6.1

General Traffic Effects

The works at the Project site will for the most part take place outside of the road reserve. The demolition methodology proposed will in general ensure that: •

The proposed works will not result in any loss of provision for pedestrians or public transport users, except for occasional short-term closures of Shaddock Street and Flower Street

•

The proposed works will not directly affect the operations of Mt Eden Road or New North Road

•

All existing streets within the Project area will generally remain open to all road users, except for short term closures of Shaddock Street and Flower Street

•

During periods when either sections of Shaddock Street or Flower Street are to be closed, these closures will occur at different times, ensuring properties on these streets continue to have vehicle and pedestrian access to New North Road

•

The works will not result in the loss of any existing off-street parking spaces (except for those within the sites being demolished)

•

The works will not generally result in the loss of any existing on-street parking spaces, except for instances where Shaddock Street or Flower Street are closed. During these closures, the loss of on-street parking capacity will be less than the reduction in on-street car parking demand that will result from vacating the buildings being demolished.

6.2

Demolition Traffic

Where practicable, truck movements will be restricted to the Arterial network as defined in the AUP. Truck movements are expected to be low, with on average approximately 15 trucks per weekday estimated (30 truck trips). The scale of demolition traffic will be significantly less than the existing traffic to and from the properties being demolished, which has been estimated at approximately 1,900 vehicle trips per day. As a result, congestion effects are considered negligible. Deconstructed building material removed from the proposed work sites will be relatively small, and much less than the main CRL tunnel boring operations. The removal of these relatively small volumes via the road network will not adversely affect congestion. As such, alternative options for removal of this spoil, such as using the rail corridor (as per CRL Condition 25.3(j)) are neither practicable nor required. It is noted that CRL Condition 25.3(c)(i) requires that where practicable, Ngahura Street be used for all truck movements to and from the Project area. This is a practicable option during the main CRL construction works, when the internal street network within the CRL construction area will be closed, and the CRL construction area will operate as a single large site. During the proposed demolition works however, the internal street network within the Project area will remain open. As such, limiting truck access to Ngahura Street alone will not be a practicable option, and demolition trucks are expected to use a range of access options to and from New North Road and Mt Eden Road. In relation to CRL Condition 25.3(a), demolition truck movements will not generally be required on any streets that support residential zoned land or education facilities. Truck movements on Mt Eden Road will pass residential zoned land, but Mt Eden Road already carries significant volumes of trucks and

Aurecon | Mott MacDonald | Jasmax | ARUP

17 CRL-MTE-RME-000-RPT-0121 Project 239933 | 14 December 2018 | Revision 4

buses, and the small increase in traffic is not considered significant on this arterial route. In all other cases, routes to be used by trucks will not pass residential land. Where over dimension or over weight vehicle movements are required, these will take place via the Transport Agency’s over dimension and overweight routes where practicable (refer CRL Condition 25.3(b)(ii)). Local access to sites by over dimension and over weight vehicles will require the use of some arterials and local streets that are not designated as over dimension or over weight routes, such as Ruru Street. Access through local streets such as the latter are expected to be critical to over dimension and over weight vehicle movements. This will be managed by limiting the movements of these vehicles outside of the commuter peak periods, and by applying mobile traffic management where these vehicles are required to traverse multiple lanes of traffic. The local streets in question are all two-lane streets, with carriageways at least 6 m wide (clear of on-street parking), and carry low volumes of traffic. It is expected that allowing occasional over dimension vehicles to occupy the full street width when manoeuvring around corners can be appropriately managed with traffic management.

6.3

Property Access

The traffic management provisions documented in Section 5.2 previously will ensure that: •

Pedestrian and cycle access will be maintained to all properties at all times

•

Vehicle access to private property will be maintained as far as practicable.

In particular, the properties located outside the CRL designation along Flower Street, Shaddock Street, Ngahura Street, Ruru Street, Korari Street and Nikau Street will remain accessible both by vehicle and by foot at all times. This will be achieved by: •

Ensuring Ngahura Street, Ruru Street, Korari Street, Flower Street, Nikau Street and Shaddock Street generally remain open to all road users

•

Where temporary road closures of Shaddock Street or Flower Street are required, ensuring only one route is closed at any one time.

Where an affected party unexpectedly finds their vehicle blocked in as a result of a temporary closure, the Requiring Authority will (within reasonable limits) offer alternative transport such as a taxi, rental car, or other alternative, in accordance with CRL Condition 25.3(g). Two-way vehicle access will be maintained at all times to all accessways to the MediaWorks site, as per CRL Condition 30.1(e) (it is noted that the MediaWorks site is located within the block bounded by New North Road, Korari Street, Nikau Street and Flower Street, and that access to this site will generally be unaffected by the works). Local vehicle access and pedestrian access will be maintained at all times to properties located along Flower Street (between Nikau Street and Shaddock Street) and Shaddock Street (between Flower Street and its dead end to the east), as per CRL Condition 30.2(g(ii)).

18 CRL-MTE-RME-000-RPT-0121 Project 239933 | 14 December 2018 | Revision 4

Monitoring

CRL Condition 26 requires that monitoring be carried out of travel times on New North Road/Symonds Street (between Dominion Road and Newton Road) and on Mt Eden Road (between Normanby Road and Symonds Street). This monitoring is to be carried out to assess the effects on traffic congestion due to the CRL works. Condition 26.6 specifically seeks to identify when CRL construction works have increased average traffic delays as follows: (a) â€œEither by more than 10 minutes (from the monitoring previously undertaken in accordance with this condition) (b) Or if the travel times are more than three minutes or 30% greater than the forecast modelled increases along that route (according to the most recent traffic model test of that scenario, undertaken prior to the start of construction. The modelled time is to be based on the Auckland City Centre SATURN traffic model or a different traffic model approved by the Requiring Authority). (c) The 30% above shall only apply for an increase predicted to be over four minutes.â€? In all cases, the demolition activities described in this DWP are not expected to result in appreciable increases in average travel times on either Mt Eden Road or New North Road/Symonds Street. While the demolition activities are expected to increase truck movements to the area by in the order of 15 trucks per day (30 one-way trips), vacating the properties being demolished is estimated to reduce vehicle trips to and from the area by approximately 1,900 vehicle trips per day. By inspection, the 4 minute and 10-minute thresholds conditioned above will not be reached, and no specific monitoring is required to support the construction activity.

Consultation and Communication

It is important to note that the demolition activities described in this document will be for the most part contained entirely off the road corridor. While there will be instances where activities occur directly within road corridors, these will generally be short term (relative to the wider four- to five-month programme) and very limited in their scale and effects. The demolition activities will be comparable, in terms of both scale and nature, to typical urban construction projects that take place largely off street. In October 2018 the proposed Mt Eden demolition works were presented to the New Zealand Transport Agency for comment. The Agency confirmed, via an email from Andre Koekemoer on 8 November 2018, that the proposed works are not located within or adjacent to the motorway or State Highway network, and therefore will not have any impact on New Zealand Transport Agency assets, traffic operations or maintenance activities. The Communications and Consultation Plan attached as Appendix K of the CEMP sets out the communications and consultation procedures to advise affected parties and the general public of the proposed temporary traffic management works. Table 8-1 summarises the external communication requirements for the Project. These property owners and occupiers are noted for early and specific consultation and agreement in regards to traffic matters. Table 8-1 External Consultation Requirements
