Welcome Bay cycle way.
The debacle continues with a TCC consultants study out of Christchurch ($16,500 cost), suggesting a pedestrian crossing near Awanui Place for city bound cyclists, then crossing back over at Hammond street lights. Yes its true, check out the BOP Times.
Logic would demand the cycle way heads up Welcome Bay Way ( as it has done prior to the under pass), past Greenwood Park retirement village & then through the light controlled pedestrian crossings to Harini St. Simple is good & safe!
The old bridge could become one way (give way) to easily accomodate safe cycling.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
