What’s the best way for a pedestrian or a cyclist to cross four lanes of traffic on Cobham Drive? After some years of indecision, the people at LGWM this week came up with the answer. (And no, it’s not the design that is shown above.)
Traffic lights are the choice made by LGWM. It’s not a choice that everyone supports.
As Benoit Pette points out today on his Inside Wellington blog:
The traffic light option has already been consulted on, with a petition where +7,500 people said they favoured a bridge or an underpass. The number of signees is significant and I wonder how many more would be needed before LGWM started accepting that their preferred option is simply not wanted.
