Alot of Sod Turning lately

Yesterday they turned sod on the ew tunnel at Victoria Park - Today PM John Key turned the first sod on the Cycle Way down in the Waikato:

Cycle way is good, and wont get much negative from me: Other than pave it, do more and hurry up: And make it easier to commute around towns and city, and perhaps widen the foot path to cater for foot and cycle traffic:

On the other hand, the Victoria park tunnel is another excessive use of public funds: I am all for better roads and making roads more efficient:

But as RAM has suggested a better investment would be for beter public transport network, more frequency and more convient stops to make it easier and a more viable option:

This new tunnel is another smack just like the Mt Albert tunnel, a better option is to make existing roads more efficient, better driving campaigns, where we have more aware and safer drivers:

This should be a concern for Cabinet, and they should be questioning the ability of their very new Minister of Transport and Communications who seems un caring about throwing Billions of Tax Payer dollars to build un needed roads and fibre networks, with the most he has done is come up with excuses why he needs to spend our money - although many in the Industry are not sure why he is going to such length: Where was the lengths he is willing to go, when our buses brough the city to a half for a week eh?

National needs to learn to make better partnerships and deals, but to also make more effective use of the current infrastrcture, we do need to invest in these areas, but it needs to be more strategic: - This is just an excessive use of funds, and its major surgery for something that only requires a band aid and a panadol:
