‘Silly, stupid, short-sighted’: Cyclists unite over KiwiRail decision
Heathcote resident, Thomas Healey said he was against cycleways in general but he was circulating a petition at the rally to submit in opposition to KiwiRail’s move.
“The safety is more important than the cycleway [itself].”
He didn’t use the trail, but its sectional closure would force cyclists onto Port Hills Rd, a 60km zone which was “a number one hot spot for speeding”.
This bloke is against cycleways, except this one that helps keep the cyclists out of traffic. Unlike the intent of all the other cycleways 🫤
Possibly because he can see this one being used.
Dude's the opposite of a NIMBY. Only In My Back Yard.
The pictures don't show any reason why this should be closed.
It looks like a huge gap between the cycleway and the tracks. If the level crossing needs work, why close 1.5km of cycleway?
