Christchurch’s mas grande has promised that a planned new kinds of cycleway won’t

destroy local businesses.

This owners of the Copenhagen Bakery actually are unhappy with the loss of car parks to get way for the Wheels to Wings cycleway.

The loss of leisure areas is due to a proposal as part of the cycleway to narrow Harewood Rd far from four lanes to two.

Mayor Lianne Dalziel told Parthenia Lynch on Newstalk ZB may perhaps be holding a genuine public consultation about the plans.

“I have heard people make comments that this is a slam dunk, it’s a foregone conclusion, I just wanted one… the Papanui Parallel cycleway as a result of Northlands Mall to the central municipal, more than 80 changes were made to. ”

Dalziel told me she will personally go and , the burkha the owners of the Copenhagen Food handling business.

The cycleway typically is expected to provide a connection for city cycling trips in the Harewood, Bishopdale and Papanui suburbs.

Street parking will be reduced to 3 parks outside Copenhagen Bakery over Harewood Rd.

Owner or managing director Donna Thomsen told Chris Lynch elderly customers and tradies be reliant upon street parking when the 12 on-site parks are full.

“Of course the kids need to be trusted and I do love to see bums on bikes but the democracy with this process is very disingenuous. We only real got approached last week.

“This will annihilate our characterization. ”

The removal of on-street parking is a key part of the larger plan.

Councillor Aaron Keown said the exact number of theme parks that are expected to be removed simply known but it is “most”.

Keown said the entire Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood community board, which he is as part of, opposed the plan.

“When you hold up traffic to remain it on the road for longer, it uses good deal more carbon so it’s a bit of a farce back when we claim climate change and tell him we’re going to save the planet.

“A big chunk of the generation isn’t going to use the cycleways as they’re [council] signing up for try and force them out of motor vehicles and I think the public is smart enough that that’s the agenda that seems to be materializing. ”

Keown said the cost of the plan, an estimated $20 million, is far beyond the particular community board was expecting.

“It makes no believe. ”
