Akoranga Park and Ride

About 2 months ago, Fair go was talking about something that sounded really interesting to me.The parking space in Akoranga Bus Station.
Now, this really interested me because this is actually the closest station on the shore, and it doesn't have a park and ride.This makes it really hard to park in one of Auckland's busiest Bus stations.There are a couple of parking spaces at the station. but it is really small and you have to pay to park there.The closest Park and Ride on the Busway is constellation which is 6 kilometers away from Akoranga. A park and ride are much needed for a growing urban area like Takapuna. it brings a better sense of safety and security. That's why it would create an impotent and significant change to the local businesses of Akoranga.The solution is simple. Right next door to the bus station, there is a big open field which is only used for sewage.It has tonnes of space for extensions in the future, and could potentially bring more businesses to the area.Here is a map of where this is.
In my opinion, I think it is a perfect location to put it there. it is close to the Bus station, it has tonnes of room to expand and it have a big significance on businesses in the Akoranga Area.And that's just a couple of reasons why it would be very important.I don't know why the government aren't allowing to do this. It's pretty stupid since Akoranga station is the closest bus station on the North Shore.What do you think?
