I have lived in Te Puke town centre for almost eight years and with my husband I walk the streets regularly, different days and different times. I have seen around seven cyclists on the streets in all that time!
A lady in her eighties, a gentleman in his seventies and five MAMLs – Middle Aged Men in Lycra – who cycle together about once a week on a circuit.
Is this really what we need to be spending our rates money on? Sure I can put in a submission but who reads those!
At least with the dog park, dog owners paid towards it. Obviously we need to start licensing the hordes of cycle owners in the Te Puke borough.
The money would be better spent connecting Seddon St or the Te Ara Kahikatea Pathway to the Papamoa to Paengaroa at Bell Rd.
