Wayne Brown is confident he can get Auckland Transport to change its approach to traffic management.
The Auckland Mayor has been calling on council organisation Auckland Transport to reduce its 145-million dollar spend on road cones and traffic management to help fill the council's ballooning fiscal hole.
He's describing the spending as unjustifiable, excessive, and unnecessary.
Brown says that he's now spoken to Auckland Transport —and utility companies Chorus, Vector and Watercare— and they seem to be getting the message.
He says he's had a couple of hissy fits, but he's now being listened to.
