How are we doing? Is there anything you would like to tell us?
I support the Tunnels Trail project to develop a Shared Path/Cycleway between Mosgiel and Caversham. The Tunnels trail project should be given immediate and high priority, without delay, with a focus of delivering operational sections as soon as possible. The tunnels trail is Dunedin's internal transport corridor between the coast and the Plain, as well as our link to the wider Otago cycleway network.
Currently we are seeing a surge in cyclist numbers, and it is clearly obvious a viable cycle route from Dunedin South to the Taieri is currently missing and therefore needed.
Myself and many of my cycling friends would use such a route, to say nothing of the benefits to local tourism.
What other ideas should we be thinking about to include in future plans for our city?
