Safety first

Re the proposed cycleways in Wellington City, it seems to me the council are focusing on areas that don’t actually require new cycleways and are neglecting safety issues for cyclists and pedestrians by failing to come up with a solution to cross Cobham Drive safely near the ASB Centre.

The ASB is well used by many children during the week and even more heavily utilised at weekends. Currently there is no safe way to cross from Cobham Drive to the ASB directly without a car. A safe crossing could be achieved by using the Troy St roundabout as a midway point for a walkway/ cycleway between the ASB, the fire station, and Cobham Drive. JOE HORVATH Kilbirnie
