crustyngrizzly 1,700 Report post Posted August 23, 2018 Economists say the Sky Path will bring economic benefits to NZ/AUCKLAND. Hamilton is still waiting for benefits from the V8s and the Rugby Stadium that gets used very sparingly.Build the stadium and they will come said the spin doctors. News during the week that a major player in the food industry in Hamilton is to close 3 restaurants due to lack of patronage.These councils are full of b/s and their economists are b/s artists.If they were that good they would have predicted the last GFC.Rates in Hamilton continue to rise. Make the sky path user pays. chevy86 and Basil brush 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eljay 1,719 Report post Posted August 24, 2018 I don't think these greenies realise 1) how steep it will be and 2) how long it will be meaning 3) how long it will take to transit a) just the bridge section and b) the whole walkway from Takapuna to Auckland City. I think it's main benefit to the pollies is vote snatching!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohokaman 5,825 Report post Posted August 26, 2018 Whether it is worth $100m is debatable. Tourists might use it for novelty. Seems to pander to a small minority. https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/politics/2018/08/government-pledges-67m-to-build-skypath-cycleway.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
