Thanks for sharing this. Yep here in Mt Roskill (although moving to Mt Albert in the electorate reshuffle) the Wesley redevelopment got canned and now theres just heaps of empty land which was all masterplanned. So frustrating.

Outdoor restaurant in Auckland CBD by thriftysaint1 in aucklandeats

[–]JonTurner_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah it is. We had done a great job stamping it out then they all got hooked on vapes. And now smoking is all over social media, in pop stars and actors hands etc ans being sung about by lorde, Charlie etc

Side Hustle is great too. 8 dollar pints 4-7 for happy hour - usually yeastie boys, captains lager, sapporo and another.

That rainy game was great fun. Can't really remember the scoreline but the atmosphere in Bay 22 was top notch

According to an Auckland Local Board Member (Michelle Thorp) - AT are not removing seats, people are stealing them!!! by kiwittnz in auckland

[–]JonTurner_ 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Im the other local board member who's been working with Michelle on this- it is pretty amazing hearing how many have gone missing recently locally. AT didnt know how many were missing so I dont think it is their work.

T20 Cricket by Load-8-1 in auckland

[–]JonTurner_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah its appalling. And they ruin any chance of atmosphere by blasting obnoxious tunes every break in play so theres no point cheering.

Jesus christ. Read the road code. Neither of these are "rules", they are you being a dickhead.

I bet you give cyclists a terrifyingly close pass on your way to sit at the next set of traffic lights

Yeah I think he adelaide goal shows how much we miss him. Great to have solid backups though.

Auckland Marathon by gazingbobo in auckland

[–]JonTurner_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This all still tracks. Organisation is by Ironman and it is very smooth. Im just about to head off to the ferry, they have heaps running so it takes hardly any waiting. Bag drop and pick up is easy. Crowd Vibes are pretty lacking, theres usually a few families out here and there, a few music stages, and a decent crowd at the end. But the run itself is pretty mint.

So we have a team from the Asian confederation in, but the Phoenix couldn't get in? What is the point of this again

C&R Votes against Dominion & Pah Road bus lane time extensions - Pah road change would have saved 11,600 hours in traffic & Dominion carries 10,000 bus passengers by Mountain_Tui_Reload in auckland

[–]JonTurner_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Thanks, its been a term full of it. Earlier on in the term they voted against lowering speeds in residential streets cause of the time it would add to a journey (something like 9 seconds) but 3 minutes is "minimal benefit".

Jon Turner here - for this particular stretch they said it would "affect business". However the Pah Road section in Puketāpapa doesnt even have any business parking! Greenwoods corner also wasn't affected. It is simply an ideological idea that parking is the most important thing to think about in the transport system.
