We don't need a park on that corner, or to lose any more parking. Or to add to the traffic queues. Save the slip lane!

The slip lane is so useful. Its loss of both convience and parking is not justified to a theory idea.
Turning left at the lights would be dangerous as the up hill layout and angled away direction would require a wide turning circle.
The pocket park would be unattractive, all the local pocket parks (Balmoral, Three Kings) are deserted/unused, too noisy, and dangerous with the immediately located traffic volumes. Cross traffic from ANZ car park also makes the pocket park a pedestrian hazard. Similarly with bus stop noise.

Slip lanes are for motorways.
There has been some good progress in removing them from the CBD in the last few years which has made the environment safer and more pleasant for pedestrians (some would call them shoppers), especially those who aren't nimble enough to run out of the way of a speeding car.
It's great to see they are also starting to disappear from the suburbs too, I'll be glad once all the slip lanes in Auckland are gone.

Agree, removing the frequently used lane from a busy intersection is nonsensical

Save the slip lane! I use this all the time to turn left onto Mt Albert Road...so stupid to remove this for a wider foot path...and what about the parking that will be lost for these shops, if there is nowhere to stop people will drive on buy....who thought this was a good idea? Ridiculous!

There will be no parking for customers to the adjacent shops if they remove the slip lane and replace it with stupidly wide footpaths and a cycle lane.
