Cyclists & cycleways
Can anybody please enlighten me as to why this council spent millions of ratepayers money on a shared footpath/cycle way along Kahikatea drive and Ohaupo rd and then spend more money on installing painted cycle ways as well. I had to travel from Glenview to Chartwell and return 3 times last Tuesday. The first trip at 8 am and the last at 4-30 pm. All told on those 3 trips I counted 12 cyclists and 9 of them were riding on the footpath. (Not a lot of cyclists to see considering the miles I travelled and at peak times as well)
Now I don’t have a problem with that but I do wonder if 75% of cyclists are using the footpaths why do we need these ridiculous money wasting marker pegs everywhere narrowing even tight and narrow streets and corners. It must be a nightmare for trickiest Traffic would flow a lot better without these hazardous marker pegs everywhere
Am I alone in wondering why the council is pandering to a very small minority eg cyclists?

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
