Letters to the editor: Cycleway and parking

The CBD cycleway should be removed, says a reader. Photo / File.

I would like to know when Rotorua Lakes Council is going to remove the unused CBD cycleway.

Its presence is, in my view, an offensive reminder of mis-spent money.

It sends a confusing message. I have seen tourists weaving in amongst pedestrians because the cycleway has no clear boundaries.

Parking review suggested

Your correspondent (Letters, January 30) is correct. Unlike your correspondent I kept my medical appointment but did ring the number provided on the meter to complain that the device was out of order.

Like your correspondent I was told to find another pay station. Impossible, as I was already in the doctor's surgery.

So I emerged to a $40 fine. (I protested and the fine was eventually withdrawn.)

These pay stations are awkward to use.

I don't object to paying for parking but the system should be user-friendly.

Perhaps the council will have a review of the service provided.
