Scenic Drive, Queens Drive and the pleasure of driving in Dunedin have long been eroded by our car-cancelling Council evidenced by the planet-saving ‘transport’ staff the previous head of which said ‘We have got to get people out of their cars otherwise the planet will burn’.

The pious planet-savers and selfish cyclists have cost us hundreds of millions with their virtue-signalling projects that have done nothing to save the planet or make any difference to transportation safety that better technology was not making anyway.

The systematic spreading of speed humps and sidelining of our most-used car transportation mode in favour of cycling has been a financial failure as well as failing to increase cycleway use as DCC data shows below.
