Ruakura Road closure - follow up
It was good to see that by Tuesday they had changed the green light cycles for traffic turning right from east Clyde street onto Wairere drive going north to around 8 seconds and 14 seconds. Still not long but a good improvement.
Now all they have to do is make the strip next to Clyde Park a 'no-parking' zone for the duration so cars that want to go straight ahead on Clyde street don't have to sit behind those waiting to turn right, thus reducing the queue for the traffic lights.
As a 'by the way' , most cars parked there belong to the police officers working out of the office across the road.

Poll: Do you think workers are taking up too many CBD parks?
Central city businesses are losing shoppers because workers fill up all the car parks, a Hamilton retailer says.
The “P” word came up when Hamilton City Council met with members of the Hamilton Central Business Association last week - and a councillor told retailers worried about parking changes to make themselves more attractive to customers.
Do you agree with retailer Barry Radford of Hanrad Bespoke Rugs, who says more parking buildings for workers are needed?
