Poll: What would you like to see changed to make Hamilton more cycle friendly?

Nicola Brennan-Tupara Reporter from Waikato Times

Hi neighbours,
There's a big change coming for one of Hamilton's key bridges, and bikes will benefit.
Claudelands Bridge will get a lower speed limit, some separate cycleways and new road markings to help two-wheeled travellers get over the river safely.

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.

Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.

For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.

Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!
