Kia ora Parents, Caregivers and Whānau,

Auckland Transport (AT) is inviting community feedback on its proposed Westney Road Pedestrian Safety Improvements.

The proposed changes are intended to improve pedestrian safety along Westney Road. As members of our school community who use this area every day, your feedback is valuable and can help ensure the needs of all road users are considered.

When providing feedback, you may wish to consider:
