Sunnybrae Road /AT Agenda

This continues their (AT's) push to impose their agenda of making travel by car as difficult as possible despite I'm sure many objections from those who use the road. The introduction of the dreaded T2 lanes is imminent and I have yet to hear of road users who have found this to be of benefit in other places (think Onewa Road). This organisation is domineering and evil and have shown their unwillingness to listen to public opinion. They have a 'we know best" approach and have more power than Ratepayers in Auckland should be comfortable with.
