Consultants! Unbelievable that council would let outsiders create the short list, and then probably let locals, the voters pick from a bad bunch. Why isn’t council publishing the ten routes as already identified rather than leave that up to “consultants” ? One really has to wonder how they think they are involving the public when the only two routes the Herald mentions are a bridge over the lake or down Hearn Street past the pool and school zones. The first would be hellishly expensive, the second destroy the “Beechy zone” council had other consultants rave about.
Let’s not have another Library fiasco. Involve the community early, not once the plans have already been set.
Oh, and for the record, along the railway line still looks like the best option from any aerial view and will have the minimal disruption to schools, shops, communities and the people that actually live here.
