To Tourist Eyes * New Zealand - Trucks not good look
Napier City Council is in a bind with its ambitions to remove trucks from Marine Parade.Hawke's Bay,New Zealand -The Hawke's Bay Today, by Louis Pierard - 28 June 2007: -- ... the real problem, the nearly quarter million-dollar cost is a concession to the need to mitigate the noise of heavy transport using the Parade... Despite the arguments from defenders of keeping the trucks on the Parade - and there are many of them, who argue the port is pivotal to the Bay's economy and that any diversion will cost in time and money to be passed on to consumers - there are bigger reasons for making the parade truck-free, and as soon as is possible... The matter is in the lap of Transit New Zealand and its own spending priorities. Short-term remedies bring diminishing returns for the council. At some point, and soon, it will have to bite the bullet to decide whether Marine Parade is far too important an asset to be compromised by the continued use by heavy trucks... It will be a tough decision that will alienate residents having to endure the diverted traffic. But it might also expedite the development of the proposed alternative...
