They removed them and put back to normal. Currently it's an eyesore and terrible to bike or drive over.


I wonder...

How many people will actually use it - Not enough to justify spending anymore on it. However this current council seem to waste ratepayers money, even if the majority don't want it. Be good to see you actually listen to us ratepayers


I wish...

I wonder...

Is the council planning to do anything between the raised platform and Centennial drive, there is drop and gap.
As I noticed people who are using mobility scooter, they are struggling.

If the bike route could pass by the school as the path is wide enough to be a shared path and would be great for the kids

Tom Grant could be considered as part of the route and the old humps be replaced with the softer traffic calming cushions that have been installed at Centennial Drive.

I wonder...

If the old humps are to remain, if a metre width gap could be made to ensure it is more accessible to those who have mobility scooters, push prams or ride a tricycle. Thus making it easier and more enjoyable for everyone to navigate.

I wish there would be fewer crossings parallel to Broadway - the one at Tainui street is awkward and dangerous, seeing as it is right at the intersection, there are a number of time where someone needs to stop mid street at this one. sites D and E seem a bit dangerous.

I wonder why the potential crossings are all at intersections...
I wonder if we can have a crossing outside the library, often we need to park on the opposite side of the road due to limited parking.

Farmers Road would be a good one, but further back from the intersection where the one currently is. Its current position is so dangerous, traffic turning directly onto that pedestrian crossing or coming across intersection have to stop jutting out. There are so many children leaving Intermediate and College that would use it.

I wish people on cycles would sound a bell when coming up behind other people. We walk our little dog in the drive, and find this a big problem.


I wonder...

I wonder if the berm in Tamihana street could be made lower, and with a much lower lip on it. Very uncomfortable getting into the drive entrance.


I wish...

There was an overpass over the SH and the rail tracks to safely connect the two parts of town. European roundabouts have a pedestrian crossing on each of the four ways. Why not here? You literally have to run for your life if you want to cross, which is pathetic.


I wonder...

How we can motivate the car centric people to consider and care for other traffic members. Cars are important and I love mine. But people should be able to safely walk and cycle too. It is standard in most parts of the world, just not in green and clean NZ.

I wish...

There needs to be a crossing for Firth St, near McDonalds. So unsafe. I live on this side of town but do not allow my Primary aged children to cross the road here, if we cycle or walk we have to cross at the only pedestrian crossing - Firth Street near the college.


I wonder...

Could Centennial drive be designated as a car free zone - put some bollards up with lockable access for council workers. If this was a designated walk/cycle path it would not require a pedestrian crossing and would be a huge advantage to both pedestrians and cycle users in Matamata.

We would love it to come past the school. Anything that encourages kids to ride their bikes and makes it safer to get to school would be greatly appreciated.

I have just driven passed Rata Street on my home for lunch and I see it has become a safe driving area, that, I do like, and we need more of those around Matamata.
However I do still think the painted green patches are a waste of time and effort, the 30km/hr sign should be sufficient for people to slow down.

Regarding the newly painted roadway and 30km sign, I fail to see how these can make the road safer. I still see cars going over 50km plus. Without chicanes or speed humps the road will never be safer. This had been a complete waste of time and money unless more is done.
