Yes, worth empahsising that without the Core Rail Link being built first, other network extensions like Mr Roskill or airport or Shore lines won't work.

Pak N Save is just outside the rail designation
Goes through the firewood yard next door, doesn't it? Recall someone (you?) writing that already using some of the old designated land for the motorway means houses will need to be demolished to fit rail through now.

And who'd want to give that up now?
You mean the parkland or the motorway?

See what you mean. That's more prominent already than I expected.

Interesting how Auckland's transport and urban planning deviated from Wellington's last century - post includes a 1940s Ministry of Works map of what could have been. Note that the new motorway from Onehunga goes over the land reserved for the Avondale-Southdown rail link (hence the network of public parkland through Mt Roskill).

And for anyone who thinks we're being too hard on NZTA, here's some pictorial evidence about their similar efforts on another section of Auckland motorway.

an alternative route
And for trucks bypassing the Northern/Southern motorway from Manukau or Albany, which is good (though at about $4b for the whole route, not cheap). This project at least makes more sense than the provincial RONS projects.

widening the NW motorway without adding dedicated buslanes
Found a Transportblog post on that. Think there are earlier ones too.
