College Street debacle, and what is the real agenda.

Iola from Awapuni

Our Mayor is saying that Council cannot do nothing about not widening the cycle lanes along College Street. My question is Why ? There has been no call by residents for this downgrade, there has been no serious accidents on this stretch of road, nor has there been any call for the removal of parking in the area. The argument that 8 primary/intermediate schools should be able to safely cycle to school is a total red herring, as the law states clearly that children under 14 years should not be travelling without adult supervision. So what is the hidden agenda? We remember the debacle about dogs on leads between Dittmer Drive and the Fitzherbert bridge was being promoted as necessary for the safety of children, when in fact it became something the cycling lobby wanted, and succeeded in getting.
So what is this current nonsense talk up all about? Has PNCC entered into negotiations to have some of the 3000 Lime scooters available in Palmerston North?
