Mauao closure

Communications from Tauranga City Council

Yes, Mauao is still closed and here's why
⬇️⬇️⬇️

👫Maintaining a safe physical distance🚶‍♂️

Unfortunately, due to the narrowness of parts of the tracks, a safe physical distance of 2m can't be kept.

Why don't we make it one way?
Working with the Mauao Trust we looked into this instead of closing it, but unfortunately it was not feasible given people's varying physical abilities.

Some people will still want to run while others may want to keep a more leisurely pace, and despite people's best efforts, maintaining a safe distance while passing isn't possible.

😡Other tracks are open though!😡
The main difference between Mauao and some of the other tracks that are open is volume. Truthfully, the other tracks just don't see the volume of people Mauao does.

When will it reopen?
Working with the Mauao Trust, we will look to open it as soon as it is safe to do so.

This time is allowing Mauao to take a break and replenish. Please be respectful of the closure and the measures in place for your safety.

Poll: Should drivers retake the theory test every 10 years?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Drivers get where they need to go, but sometimes it seems that we are all abiding by different road rules (for example, the varying ways drivers indicate around a roundabout).
Do you think drivers should be required to take a quick driving theory test every 10 years?

Vote in the poll and share any road rules that you've seen bent! 😱
