A controversial decision to install a raised zebra crossing outside Leigh General Store will be re-examined by the Rodney Local Board at its next monthly meeting, on August 16 in Kumeu.
More than 70 residents wrote to Auckland Transport about the planned crossing, with most saying it should be placed nearer the school, 80 metres further back along Hauraki Road.
However, AT decided to proceed with its original plan, infuriating many people in the process (MM, Jul 17).
At the July local board meeting, Kumeu member Geoff Upson said due to the huge opposition to the plans, including from the school, he would like to see the issue on next month’s agenda.
Chair Brent Bailey agreed, and said relevant AT staff would be present to discuss the proposed crossing, funding for which comes from the board’s transport targeted rated.
