Heathcote resident, Thomas Healey said he was against cycleways in general but he was circulating a petition at the rally to submit in opposition to KiwiRail’s move.

“The safety is more important than the cycleway [itself].”

He didn’t use the trail, but its sectional closure would force cyclists onto Port Hills Rd, a 60km zone which was “a number one hot spot for speeding”.

This bloke is against cycleways, except this one that helps keep the cyclists out of traffic. Unlike the intent of all the other cycleways 🫤

Possibly because he can see this one being used.
