Tauranga Mayor Stuart Crosby is trying to get to the bottom of concerns that Bethlehem residents were poorly consulted by the New Zealand Transport Agency over the suburb's four laning project.
Stuart made the commitment to resolve the problem at a Bethlehem Progressive Association organised meeting on Tuesday night.

'From the council's perspective, we have mixed messages from shop owners and property owners on the southern side, which believe they have not been approached or consulted.
'We are in the middle and are trying to assist.”
He will also deliver a petition to NZTA which expresses concern the four laning project will result in the destruction of a car park in the area.
Stuart says there were indications from NZTA the car park would be replaced but has not received updates on the issue.
At the meeting Stuart was also asked about the amalgamation of councils and reiterated his stand that the Bay of Plenty has far too many councils and he would like to see the number reduced.
'We need to have a public discussion about having less councils.”
He would like to see the seven councils in the Bay of Plenty, including regional body Environment Bay of Plenty, reduced to three.
'There's going to be a lot of changes we need to be prepared for.”
He says these changes include changes to the Resource Management Act, the completion of treaty claims in the region and plans to ‘take the local out of local government'.”
