Why has Trustpower moved into downtown Tauranga with 500 workers and their cars? Why couldn't they build at Gate Pa or any other suburb?
Also, why is the city council residing downtown? Couldn't they be relocated out of town with their 500-600 employees?
Also, we are going to have a university slap-bang in the middle of the CBD. How will students travel to study? By car, scooter, bus and bicycle.
These office workers are not the shoppers retailers want. They might have an hour for lunch; not enough time to browse the interesting shops. These shops will be gone in 20 years as parking is already taken by the office workers. I don't know how many people work for IRD but they are also there.
There should be a high-rise building along Cameron Road in every second city block, spaced to allow for shading, sunshine and fresh air. What do town planners do?

Obviously they plan for failure, disasters and put all in place to further that aim. They plan to do what would not otherwise happen logically and practically. Hence why the CBD is dying and TCC then throws the money of others (Rtaepayers) to try and remedy the deliberate and planned strangulation of the CBD. Meanwhile TCC live in a world of their self deemed perfection, where all they do is a wonder to behold, yet we see endless and huge consequences which they are somehow able to white-wash and ignore when it suits from the lofty Ivory Towers, then you wonder why the CBD is shutting down?
