Bike stands update, February 2023

The HDC gave us bike stands by the footbridge in June 2022. They’ve been well-used over the summer.

However, the Roading Manager at the time promised road markings to make it clear to cars where not to park by the bike stands, and also further stands on Reay Mackay Grove and Manga Pirau Street.

Time has gone by, so I recently followed up, and received this response from the HDC Enquiries desk:

I have just checked the job 220350. Hiren one of our Roading Engineers left the following note 14 February 2023: I will visit the site for road markings near footbridge and inform our contractor to do so soon if it requires. The bike stands at end of Manga Pirau Street and Reay MacKay Grove are expected to install by end of June–2023.
