Simeon Brown and the Reeves Rd Flyover
The Health (former Transport) Minister shows his ignorance, again
Long queues and baffled drivers: New $152m flyover drives minister mad | Stuff
"Simeon Brown is calling for urgent changes to a new $152 million flyover, saying it has created long evening delays and confusion for motorists."
"His proposed solutions included ditching a “completely unacceptable” plan for a cycle lane in favour of another lane for motor vehicles."
Maybe someone should sit Simeon down and make him watch 90 seconds of 'Utopia'...
Bike Auckland have a more nuanced response, and actions you can take to support:
"Brown’s letter represents an unprecedented interference by an MP in decisions that ought to be determined by transport specialists. Making this change based on one individual’s opinion undermines the consultation process."
Oppose MP Simeon Brown’s request for a last-minute removal of a cycleway from Pakuranga - Bike Auckland
The Reeves Road Flyover was built to improve bus reliability, walking and cycling safety, and long-term traffic flow across Pakuranga — not just to add space for cars. We’re concerned by calls to remove the planned cycle lane or safety features.
