TaupÅ District Council's plan to snip off a chunk of Lake Terrace to create more green space and reduce through traffic along Roberts St has some businesses asking about parking.
A major revamp of Taupō’s main drag that would see cars banished from it’s prime lakeside is prompting angst amongs some business owners and predictions of doom for profits.
The section where Tongariro Street morphs into Lake Terrace has unobstructed views down the lake to the mountains of Tongariro National Park – a natural asset the Taupō District’s Council’s town centre transformation (TTCT) wants to capitalise on by increasing pedestrian access to the lakefront and Tongariro Domain.
