Comments on: Spending http://www.baybuzz.co.nz What's new, funny, perplexing in Hawke's Bay Wed, 08 Feb 2012 20:59:18 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.3 By: Tracy Pryce http://www.baybuzz.co.nz/issues/spending/comment-page-1/#comment-18429 Tracy Pryce Sun, 18 Oct 2009 04:44:49 +0000 http://www.baybuzz.co.nz/issues/spending-2#comment-18429 I am flabbergasted at the same stretches of roads that seem to be dug up repeatedly- eg: Lyndhurst, Mahora intersection, Omahu Road. Doing it once and doing it right seems to NOT feature in the grand scheme of HB road funding. Why too I ask, do they insist on carrying out road works near schools immediately after school holidays- is it to inconvenience commuters as much as possible? Pakowhai Road has an uncontrolled pedestrian crossing by Girls' High- witness the back-log of traffic at peak times, as vehicles are forced to stop for tardy flocks of teens crossing at whim.
