Open letter to Maurice Williamson (Howick Ward Councillor)

Hi Maurice.

You have been given the key role on plugging the Council’s $270 million budget shortfall. The solution is easily solved in your very own ward of Howick.

The planned Burswood bus diversion is going to cost between $1-$2billion and does not make logical or financial sense.

The planned busway between Pakuranga and the Ti Rakau bridge, which I also do not support, will provide 2 x traffic lanes each way and 2 x bus lanes, a total of 6 x lanes.

The existing highway between the bridge and Bunnings already has 3 x lanes heading east and 2 x lanes heading west which can be widened to 3 x lanes with some minor road works, also a total of 6 x lanes.

The kerbside lanes can be bus-only and T2 or T3.

If the Burswood busway is proceeded with, it would be the widest route in Auckland, if not New Zealand with 6 x lanes from Pakuranga increasing to 7 x lanes at the bridge, to gain nothing but a few minutes travel time at a cost the city cannot afford.

Maurice, please do us all a favour and stop this ridiculous waste of money and earn the accolades of all us ratepayers who will end up paying the bill.
