Auckland Transport has been awarded funding from Waka Kotahi NZ Transport agency to test ways to create a more vibrant and people friendly environment along Ponsonby Road.
The changes have not been decided, but will be based on community feedback and co-designed with an inclusive group of stakeholder representatives. The changes are expected to:

1. Respond to specific issues/opportunities identified by the community of people using Ponsonby Rd.
2. Address one or more of the project’s objectives:
   • Vibrancy – create a more vibrant environment for shoppers, residents, hospitality patrons, etc.
   • Safety – reduce the risk of transport related deaths and harm to users of Ponsonby Rd.
   • Access – increase the ease of access to Ponsonby Road by people of all ages and abilities
   • Inform plans for longer term changes based on learnings from the changes.
