Poll: Are you in favour of the new cycleway being trialled in Auckland's CBD?

Cyclists will have additional spots to lock up their bikes with new facilities installed as part of a cycleway trial.

Project WAVE is a $1 million cycleway trial in the Viaduct Harbour to connect the Quay and Nelson Street cycleways that could have over a thousand daily users.

Auckland Transport (AT) confirmed two new bike parking facilities able to accommodate 16 bikes have been installed as part of the trial, taking the total number of bike parks along the cycleway to 56.

The project is opposed by a group of residents and business owners.

The two new bike parking facilities are located on Customs Street West between Market Place and Lower Hobson Street. One is located near the Tepid Baths, and one is near O’Hagan’s bar.

The area now has enough space for around 56 bikes, as there were already existing facilities to accommodate 40 bikes before Project WAVE was implemented.

AT spokeswoman Natalie Polley said there are also numerous new bike parking facilities on Quay Street and in the new square as part of the Downtown project.

"That doesn’t even take into account bike parking at the ferry terminal, the AT Downtown Carpark and at many other locations on the Viaduct,” she said.

My random query is thus, has anyone else who lives in the vicinity of housing developments experiencing a very heavy load of mushrooms or toadstools or other forms of fungi appearing in their garden, potted plants etc ...?
This may sound kind of random, but it seems to be happening in two places out west that I am aware of.
I ask as I have NEVER had any fungi appearing before this last year.
They have suddenly appeared since we've had a couple of large housing developments in the area.
With all of the soil clearance and scrapping of the remaining land preparing for the foundations, I was wondering if any spores of these said fungi have been dug up and are being blown all around the neighbourhood?
I thought that I may have been way off base, and could still be, but a friend who lives in the Swanson area has been experiencing the exact same thing and he has housing developments right across the road and quite a few down Swanson Road.
He seems to agree with my theory and I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same thing.
I wonder what else the excavating has loosened and is being transported around the neighbourhood by the wind and all of those heavy trucks removing all the rubble and dirt?
What happened to the LTSA rules for trucks having to cover their loads, especially with loose rubble, dirt, stones etc ...?
