Auckland transport issues & CBD transport planning projects

A large number of complaints have been made throughout these years on Auckland City’s transport networks. The motorists complain about the traffic chaos as one of the biggest issues when they travel around the city every day. Moreover, as Auckland continues to grow to a population of 1.5 and eventually reach to the number of 2 million in the coming years, it is particularly crucial for the local government to seek various ways to improve the current provision of transport network and to solve these complex issues in relation to the transportation in the city, especially to focus on the issues of the Harbour Cross and development of public transport system, such as the railway development.
Advises have been made on solving the issues of traffic congestion that are predominantly taking place in Auckland. The article written by Keith Rankin which I found online may present an idea from an individual,

Large debates over Auckland’s transport issues are also raised by the governments for a same purpose for fixing the problems. Much debate over the funding for new development to be carried on road and support for the public transport system.
Transport has been seen as one of the primary issues in Auckland. The development and continued growth in the city will put more pressure on this. For generating the best result and solving the issues, government has focused on a number of key projects that are being planned and proposed to be done within a few years, two of the outstanding projects involve construction of CBD rail loop and the bring back of the tramway. Other related issues on CBD tranport planning are also included in this blog, such as the widespread discussion over the second harbouur crossing and effectiveness of Auckland transport planning.
