Auckland residents seek removal of raised road crossings

Residents in Auckland are calling for the removal of raised road crossings due to complaints about vibrations and structural damage to their homes. Areas affected include Avondale, Blockhouse Bay, and Carlton St. Auckland Transport is responding to these concerns by planning to remove some of the raised crossings. They are currently consulting with local boards to determine further actions. This follows a recent incident where a raised pedestrian crossing in Titirangi was replaced with a level zebra crossing after similar complaints. Residents report significant noise and shaking from vehicles crossing these raised areas.
