Re: Proposed roading upgrades Tamaki

Min from Point England

The proposed sounds good. But actually, it is neither environmentally friend nor good for our society.

First, each time before the bump cars have to reduce speed to less than 20 km/hr to make the movement smooth. Very slow speeds are especially necessary with age or unwell people inside the car. After the bump cars have to re-accelerate to keep going. This adds extra car emissions to our environment. A better solution would be to install traffic lights, an easier, safer and more efficient solution.

Secondly, slow snail movements associated with speed bumps upset people. Anxiety, Depression, anger is building up day-by-day. It will explode out at one point.

Therefore, I hope council can reconsider the impact of traffic flow restrictions on daily life, and don’t over increase the number of speed bumps.

Hello from Ocean Bali Spa

Yana from Ocean Bali Spa

Hello everyone, my name is Yana I’m originally from Bali. I’ve been living and working in the area for 7+ years now. I was known as Tiwi and I was a professional massage therapist/ beautician working in one of the finest establishments in St Heliers.
Now I have Ocean Bali Spa at 287E St Heliers Bay Road and have been enjoying being part of this vibrant and supportive local community. It has been so rewarding to meet and help so many people with their aches and pains or just enabling them to enjoy a relaxing massage or rejuvenating facial.
