It is becoming clearer that continued investment in infrastructure that supports the continued use of the private fossil fuelled motorcar is short sighted and unwise both environmentally and now economically. This petition seeks the complete intergovernmental policy change from massive infrastructure investment in roads to public transport instead, namely rail but not solely. As an example the re addressing of proposed funding for the $1billion plus SH20 Waterview highway tunnel towards Auckland Rail, initially the C.B.D. underground rail loop. It is the authors opinion that New Zealander's are seeking modern and efficient public transport alternatives. The window of opportunity to alter course is shrinking.

I started this because I felt alone in questioning why we keep prioritizing tunnels over trains. Your notes confirm that I am certainly not the only one who sees this differently. I am busy gathering the research to present your concerns to the transport board soon.

Sick of being stuck in gridlock every morning. Rail is the way forward for this city.

The traffic in Auckland is a joke. Stop building motorways and actually give us a train system that works for once.

Yes pleeease. Waterview is such a waste of money when we could have a proper rail loop.
