As a regular cyclist along Grey Street, I think the traffic changes are great.
Clear, colourful, concise, cultural, clever.
The best thing about it is it makes drivers slow down, stop, look and think – something Gisborne drivers have never done before.

Clear – point up for argument here – convoluted in my opinion.
Colourful – patterns in the fill paint – do we need this?
From a cost point of view I think not.
Concise – if you mean short – as an example of what $900K buys you, it is somewhat of a mind boggler.
If this is to be the norm, to encourage walking and cycling, the elephant in the room is surely the massive, ongoing implementation costs.
Cultural – why do roads and their setup need to be cultural?
I understand there is to be a sculpture somewhere which touches on the cultural aspects of our area. I may be wrong.
Clever – from a design point of view, as a lay person, I don’t think so. Also, from a value for money perspective.
Lastly it seems amazingly permanent for a supposedly two-year trial. I do hope those annoying yellow and black speed bumps are only a temporary feature.
I notice more clogging of the roundabouts in Childers Road but this may be due to other factors.
