Off ramp roundabout to get revamp

Auckland Council is looking at options to beautify the big roundabout at the Silverdale intersection – a source of many complaints due to its ugly, unplanted state at the gateway to the Coast.

Hibiscus & Bays Local Board members were told at a workshop last month that because the work is expensive, staff are considering reducing the amount that can be planted on the roundabout.

Although staff consider the work “a priority”, nothing will happen until next planting season – around May.
