Auckland\u2019s multi-billion dollar transport challenges are to be dealt with under a single joined-up approach unveiled by the government and council, starting with\u00a0a $200 million boost for the Eastern Busway.<\/p>\n
The joined-up plan will span light rail, a future shift of the city\u2019s port, a new harbour crossing and other work, signalling an end to\u00a0public jousting project-by-project, and merging separate council and government funding and strategy plans.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe agreed joined-up plan will require clear\u00a0decisions and timelines to be made about the future use of Auckland\u2019s publicly owned waterfront land, currently being used by Ports of Auckland,\u201d mayor Wayne Brown and Transport Minister Michael Wood said in a statement.<\/p>\n
