New bridge an asset for our town

Re: Waka bridge is taking shape, will be ready for summer - September 13 story. 

I think this is awesome. People come from all over the world to see our region and learn about our history ... and to see the sun come up first! 

Despite all the naysayers, we really do live in a very beautiful and unique part of the world. It is so good to see the Cook landing monument being acknowledged and it being easily accessible. The road is quite dodgy to cross with all the trucks, so a bridge from Kaiti Hill is perfect. 

This is something useful that is an asset for our town. I am looking forward to walking over it. 

Our Kaiti Hill tracks are my favourite places to walk in Gizzy. We are very lucky to have it right on our doorstep.

Cycleways and walkways and dare I say it sporting hubs are very nice to have but higher rates and lower income per capita kind of offset the benefits.
Debt has always been the instrument of tyrants.
We are being "navigated" into a 15 min city.
Dennis laid it all out fairly plainly in his letter.
The question really is which "nice to have project" is a bridge too far?
