Two key points:

1/ "Political will is the key factor in developing sustainable mobility policies, but this political will must manifest in decisions regarding where to build infrastructure and how to manage the mobility system."
2/ "From a technical point of view, the knowledge needed to make things happen already exists, and there is no need to wait. "
Result:

"The number of cycling trips on a working day increased from approximately 13,000 to a peak of 72,000 — a 452 percent increase — in just three years. "
#Auckland has the complexity of political leadership moderated governance of it's transport agency via it's board and executive leadership. Nevertheless, the above applies.

The technical skills exist within the council family.

What we need is 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽.

In 2008 when we purchased our home Auckland had about 1.4 million people. Our block had about 60 dwellings, or about 200 people. In 2019 Auckland reached about 1.7 million people. Our block still had about 60 dwellings with maybe 220 people.
By 2028 Auckland will reach 2 million. More people per year than the current population of Onehunga.
Our block could have 400+ dwellings under the AUP. Enough for another 1000 people.
