Poll: Do you think Te Rapa Straight is on the up?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Te Rapa Rd is changing, but opinions are divided on whether it is turning into world of retail opportunity or downgrading into a crime-ridden wasteland.

What do you reckon? Is Te Rapa Straight on the up? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
