Ffs finally, that motorway was gonna destroy the whole neighborhood. Common sense prevails for once.

Ben Sullivan2026-07-09T18:51:00.000Z

So what now? We still sit in traffic for an hour to get into town? Great plan guys 👍

Quinn Murphy2026-07-09T19:36:00.000Z

lol still gonna be gridlock at 8am, nothing changes

Sophie Ngata2026-07-09T19:11:00.000Z

So happy for the residents on Hector St. They've been stressing for years. Now let's put that money into trains instead

Blake Turner2026-07-09T19:25:00.000Z

Relieved? Try pissed off. We need that road, not more bike lanes for three people a day

Luca Reid2026-07-09T20:12:00.000Z

you clearly don't live here, it's a nightmare. But we need public transport not roads

Honestly climate change is real, we should be reducing cars not adding more lanes. Good call council

Ben Sullivan2026-07-09T20:20:00.000Z

lanes don't fix the fact I drive from Wainui every day. Clueless

Noah Bennett2026-07-09T20:01:00.000Z

Bet the property developers are fuming. Love to see it

Chloe Martin2026-07-09T20:49:00.000Z

facts, developers crying into their overpriced coffees this morning

Sage Lawson2026-07-09T20:15:00.000Z

Let's be real, the money will just get wasted on some consulting report now

Sophie Ngata2026-07-09T20:54:00.000Z

Riley Scott2026-07-09T20:27:00.000Z
