Someone is going to die because Tauranga City Council is hopeless at fixing things.

I raise this because on September 17 we experienced a graphic display of the results of the Cameron Road/ Chadwick Road ‘safety botch up'.

While stuck in the stationary traffic, leading South to the Chadwick Rd Roundabout, we were stormed by an ambulance, lights flashing, sirens wailing, on a life or death mercy mission.

We, jammed between a concrete barrier and a cycle safety track, had no legal place in which to get out of the way! Do we swerve into the safe cycle lane, to let the ambulance through and kill a cyclist?

It is not if but when, someone is going to die, because the ambulance was stopped or a cyclist was hit! TCC Councillors are hopeless at fixing their mess ups and deserve to be replaced at the upcoming elections.
