The cost of speed tablesThe Herald’s Bernard Orsman is going after Auckland Transport over the cost of speed tables (again). The cost of a new pedestrian crossing in Wellington is tens of thousands of dollars. Auckland Transport chief executive Dean Kimpton has defended the local cost of crossings, saying they are fundamentally different from those in Wellington. Putting that aside, it does seem like AT need to look at ways of getting these costs down as we need a lot more raised crossings. Auckland Transport (AT) has “lost the plot” over the cost of pedestrian crossings when a lick of paint will do, claims Mayor Wayne Brown.
