Will container trucks continue to roll through Ōrākei?

East Auckland leaders have renewed their campaign to ban container trucks from the port rolling through residential Ōrākei and other nearby suburbs.

Because of the “danger” they pose, container trucks should be prevented from using the residential route from the port to the container facility in Panmure, the Ōrākei Local Board says.

The board is pressuring Auckland Transport to prohibit the heavy vehicles from the route along Tamaki Drive, Kepa Rd, Kohimarama Rd and St Johns Rd unless their destination is within the board’s territory. The container facility is in the territory of the adjoining Maungakiekie-Tamaki Local Board.

“These roads form a relatively narrow and bending route through residential streets, with tight signalised intersections, and with part of Kepa Rd on hilly unstable land,” the board says in the agenda for its meeting on Thursday 10/18/2018.
