Petone Station parking changes
Work on the SH2 Dowse to Petone Upgrade Project has resulted in some changes to park and ride facilities for Petone rail commuters.
Construction of the project has meant that the layout of the carpark at Petone Station has had to be altered to provide space for adjacent SH2 work and access for trucks and other machinery.
As a result some carparks will be unavailable from Monday 9 June until work has concluded on the project. However, the final layout will provide an improved carpark with more efficient and safer access and parking for 176 vehicles.
The areas in which commuters can no longer park will be clearly marked and signposted and Transit asks that the public not park vehicles in these areas as they are a crucial access way for trucks and equipment. If any cars are inadvertently parked in the marked areas they will need to be towed away.
In order to offset the changes at the park and ride facility, motorists are welcome to use temporary additional carparks which have been made available by the construction team in an area off the northbound side of SH2. This area is close to the pedestrian footbridge ramp by Korokoro Cemetery and is signposted. Commuters should note that there are no security cameras or monitoring in this location and parking is done at the owner's discretion.
