Re the Greerton lights nightmare. It looks like yet another project has been delivered at great cost to Tauranga City Council ratepayers, likely with yet another throng of expert consultants feasting feverishly.

Despite all of the rampant stupor over it in advance; despite all the wondrous answers provided to Greerton township, and despite all the hype on how wonderful it all would be, it's been and gone within days of flicking the switch.

Commenters on the SunLive website actually put the spotlight on the result achieved, apparently all in line with exactly what was predicted by many non-TCC staff, who yet again have been ignored.

Perhaps it is overdue to review the news reports, content, writers and all contributors thereto so as to avoid history repeating.

Likely the TCC transport department will have all the most wonderfully creative excuses on this one. Whose fault will it be this time? In the end, the result is the absolute desire to create and magnify traffic congestion in any and all ways possible as to further the ultimate ‘final solution'. That being to eliminate all cars from the roads and force all occupants onto the footpath, bicycles or buses.
