And re LGOIMA requests to the Dunedin City Council (including the Mayor). My experience is that the DCC ignores them until an election is forthcoming. And Aaron still hasn't answered my one from 2019 re him using a Council asset (the Museum) as part of his campaign.
The roundabout at Forbury Road is not particularly friendly to cyclists either. Nor for that matter is the cycle path from Portobello around towards Port Chalmers (but still a few kms short). It's too narrow in many places, with the threat of ending up in the harbour if more than a few cyclists use it. And having to share with walkers out on a Sunday stroll means that cyclists will get it in the neck for riding on the road (you have your own path!) or riding on the path (you're riding too fast!). And if the sunday strollers have earphones then we will have to hop off our bikes so as not to get blamed for them not hearing us coming up behind them.
I suggest turning Portobello Road itself into a cycle path now that the locals have got used to not being able to drive down it.
