    It'll never happen.
    Imagine all the suicidal people getting easier access. Lemmings will have competition finding a spot on the edge to hurl themselves off from.

    Put one underneath.

    I don't know the shore very well. but for the city end the bus stop by victoria park just before the motorway onramp would be perfect.

    Surely cheaper than 5 million to buy 1 or 2 buses solely for this purpose.

    $1 each way.



    Logical solution to me, what you guys think?
    They did have a bus a number of years ago that went from Stafford Road to Point Erin Pools. It Died a natual death

    A high fence will stop this.

    See my earlier post about the one they put under the Mangere bridge. It's a crime spree waiting to happen.

    Already noted, but is there such a high demand for lycra that people will rob them?

    Oh dear...making the bridge viable for pedestrians and cyclist is a great idea and as usual the majority knock it.

    Now when was the last time the majority voted for something suggested by the authorities...now when was the Treaty signed...
