SMC Call To Arms: Further bike parking removal by Council/ARTA

[motorbyclist]

"please continue to hold"

why can't they let me just enter an extension number?!

i've got an assignment to hand in by noon, so i'll have a shower/get dressed, get to uni, hand that in, print off those plans A3 size and go consult an actual civil engineer and see what he says, then storm into offices at the council... lectures for me start at 2pm today

could someone please count the number of bikes parked on symonds st and measure the current total length of the motorcycle parking. remember to exclude trees.

[Squiggles]

157 just before 12

156 just after 1

10-12 bikes parked under science


Got plenty of pics

IIRC Beca are the people in charge of designing the busway.
Could be worth for someone to give them a call, I would but im grogged up with the flu =/

One option for a protest could be to go park in aotea square (i'm sure someone would have a metal ramp to get into the square or just around the square would be fine too)

SO if they are planting lots of trees instead of motorcycle parking are we allowed to ride on the curb and park under the trees? A big hats off to motorb ans squiggles, when action time hits I shall be there next to both of you, getting pulled up for obstruction lol

[Magua]

I shall be sending some emails myself to question the removal of parking from under the quad, politely of course.

You want the rest of us to hassle him on the hour?

Let us know aye, but then again since your the PREZ of the club, your words will have more depth/substance than the words comming outta our wee mortal mouths

haha i've just been putting "SMC Comitee" after my name

[motorbyclist]

i've printed and examined the plans, and sofar can say it shows less than 40 metres parking, depending on how close to trees you can park that may become less.

i then paced out the current parking and measured that to be approximately 150m of parking

you do the maths

[Chrislost]

Well thank you for your polite reply
I have no idea of the size of the uni, and was only making a suggestion.
But seeing as you Dorklanders want to just be brazenly obstinent and not listen to possibile alternatives for a hick town southener
Then I dont give a fuck if you loose all your presious bike parks
go sit on you degree or smoke it, it's only theory anyway, not real life experiance which matters in the end.

I wish you luck Dryder87, dont get yourself arrested for obstruction

huh! you must ride a cruzer...

go untwist yer knickers eh

Get in touch with BRONZ, there's nothing like an outside organisation poking its nose into uni business to get the uni concerned.
Oh, and media attention. You might warrant a sad-motorcyclist photo on page four of the Herald, choose a nice photogenic girl.

Ooh, ooh, I'll pose!

The BRONZ idea is a good one.

[Ixion]

BRONZ is already there.

Tim Darby didn't phone back today as he promised (yesterday he said that ACC knew nothing about it and as far as they knew no motorcycles parks were to be lost). That may mean there is something going on, or may just mean he is a slack bastard.

I'll ring him again tomorrow.
