Scrapping SH2 upgrades

It is a shame that the State Highway 2 upgrade has been scrapped. But I can see why they did so.

We are in a climate emergency and need to encourage less cars on the road, not encouraging more.

So I think a great alternative could be passenger rail. The line already exists between Omokoroa and Tauranga's CBD. Surely it wouldn't take much to hook some passenger carriages onto the freight trains that go through and possibly have a train station at Cherrywood next door to BP and another one on The Strand. Perhaps the train could carry on through to Te Puke and back again. Another idea could be a ferry from Omokoroa into town.
