Our mayor who was silent throughout the level 4 lockdown has decided rather than trying to stimulate our local economy he would rather try and pedestrianise our main street then cover it with pretty dots.Viv Deaker (Dunedin, 2020-05-19)

As a Rate Payer I consider the Dunedin City council are wasting our money.Decisions are being made & money spent without proper consoltation or vote.
Now especially, after Covud-19 any money spent, should be to get the most benefit from it for the most people.
People use cars, need cars & plenty of parking. Not everyone lives within walking & bus distance.

The council are the community representatives, and as such should be listening to the feedback from those who are paying their wagesNeill Glover (Dunedin, 2020-05-19)

Although I think that the CBD can be more tourist friendly you need to consult and talk to the businesses envolved - democracy not detatorshipMoyra Johnston (Dunedin, 2020-05-19)

The wastage of money on the most stupidest ideas in a very tough time for the rate payers.Noeline Bourke (Roxburgh, 2020-05-19)

Rushing through a 10km/hr speed change to George street is their top priority. Why not divert attention to working with central government to create jobs within the region, fixing the sand dunes at Saint Clair, improving the impractical cycleways just to name a fewZach Pronk (Dunedin, 2020-05-19)

The signs were already manufactured and the contractors painted the road within a week, so this had obviously been planned for some time behind closed doors. Councils are supposed to work for the ratepayer, not the other way around. We need a mayor who actually has some real life business experience to take Dunedin forward in prosperous times, let alone the economic depression that we are now facing. It is clear the current Mayor isn't up to the job if he wants to employ a personal adviser to make decisions for him!J MacLean (Dunedin, 2020-05-19)

I have no confidence in a Mayor that wants to bankrupt businesses and take car parks away. There is no need to try and control pedestrian movement in the main street. It will be no more successful than trying to get kids to social distance at school. Please give us a Mayor with some brainsAlexander Keremestevsky (Dunedin, 2020-05-19)
#1082
This idiot mayor will screw this city by pushing his own agenda with no hesitation or any consultation with the ratepayers who by the way pay his wages and we should be able to tell him what to do or get out altogether. This man will do nothing for Dunedin as he is only interested in the pedestrianization as he is a GREENIE!!!!!! but a bloody hypocrite as he hitches rides from people heading into town and he does not like cars. It's time to pull the plug on this individual right now any way we can legally of course.Bill Swift (Dunedin, 2020-05-19)

Putting All Ratepayers in debt with extravagant dreamland ideas disrupting normal traffic flows- removing hundreds on needed car parks. Follow AA advice on Road planning not those dreamed up by back room ignorant imported planners with large city ideas. Use our rates intelligently for city maint. Water, sewerage, flood protection drain replacement( main street) not speed bumps, Cockle shells. ETCAppoint the person that polled highest for Mayor not some twisted voting iteration system.
ACT IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE CITIZENS.

Despite using George St as my main route of travel to and from my workplace, I was unaware that the speed limit had changed until this evening. Maybe the giant coloured spots on the road distracted me? We are supposed to be Keeping Dunedin Beautiful, not adding unnecessary ugliness.Catie Hodge (Dunedin, 2020-05-20)

I think it is totally laughable-----goes along with the sandpit ideas and the closing off of the Octagon. All so so stupid and such a waste of taxpayers money. Just wait until some elderly or young child gets run over or hit by running on the road. There was no discussion about this with real people not the muppets in Council.Lynne Ryder (Dunedin, 2020-05-20)

I feel let down as a resident of Dunedin particularly as one who has to drive for work. Car parks have decreased. Meter rates have increased time for parking has decreased. $46000 to move towards the car free city which people dont want but the council thinks it will sneak in is rude and a swipe at our intelligence.Leisa Pierson (Dunedin, 2020-05-20)
