Richard Hills: North Shore councillor on more delays for a second Waitemata Harbour crossing
from Early Edition with Ryan Bridge · host Newstalk ZB
An Auckland councillor's questioning why the Government needs another investigation to rule out the mayor's preferred crossing - again. Cabinet's agreed a Crown-led case into the pros and cons of a bridge or tunnel as another crossing of the Waitemata Harbour. The $1 million bill to investigate if Meola Reef in Point Chev is the right spot will be split between Auckland ratepayers and the country's taxpayers. North Shore councillor Richard Hills told Ryan Bridge the Government admits it's already ruled this idea out before, so why can't it just share that information. He doesn't think it'll work because it would involve building motorways through suburbs. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
