1:17  Island Bay cycleway dug up

The $1.7 million Island Bay cycle way was only completed three months ago, but half of it has now been dug up. However it is not due to the strong opposition to the cycle way from members of the Island Bay community, it is because the council is resealing the road. It plans to put it all back again afterwards.
The cycle way spans 1.7 kilometres of The Parade, from Wakefield Park to Shorland​ Park by the sea.  It sits between the kerb and parked cars to keep cyclists safer, but many locals have complained that this has made the road more dangerous, as cars are now parked right against a busy road, and many parked cars have had their wing mirrors knocked off by buses.  

Southern Ward councillor, Paul Eagle says it is a debacle and a total waste of money to dig up the road just a month before a safety audit into the cycle way is to be completed
