What the? I know people on stuff who make more sense than the planners of the State Highway 2 Waihi to Bethlehem project. I know everyone's sick of letters on this topic, but c'mon, who are these people?

When I moved from Papamoa to Katikati nine years ago, I just assumed that a four-lane expressway would go in to accommodate the ever-growing volume of traffic on the route, but what have we gotten instead? Three passing lanes removed and a series of awkwardly-designed, narrow roundabouts. So when this flash, four-lane Takitimu North Link is completed, it's going to deliver motorists into this joke of a mess? That'll be a bit of an anti-climax to their speedy, smooth trip from Tauriko to Te Puna to say the least.
