Who was the brass bound lobotomised idiot who decided to remove the slip lane from Cameron Road into Maleme Street, and replace it with a widened concrete footpath for the limited number of pedestrians that frequent the walkway there?

The traffic which builds up around the Pyes Pa Road roundabout causes congestion every day, and often is banked up as far as the Pooles Road roundabout. Reducing the ability of vehicles to exit left into Maleme Street, which is a busy commercial and industrial area on its own, is sheer bloody minded lunacy.

Whoever is responsible should be given a job looking after a public toilet block, while being required to repay to the Tauranga ratepayers the doubtless hundreds of thousands of dollars that have been totally wasted on this intersection.

It's not merely a total waste of public money, it is also a clear indication of a complete lack of awareness of the traffic congestion problems of Cameron Road.

Is the same brain-dead fool who stuffed up the Harrington Street car parking building also responsible for this fiasco?
