I can see cyclists needing to use it, its a long way round the other way.
Walking? No.
As for unsafe, they aren't allowing trucks on the clipons now.

All these protests though, it doesn't work. They've said cyclists will have to wait years and years for the tunnel.

776400 2009-05-25 05:01:00 I'm informed that at some stage in the past they provided a bus to ferry foot traffic and cyclists across the bridge, patronage was so low that they gave up on it.

Now these same people who it seems don't really want to cross the bridge want the government to spend multiple millions of our dollars on a carriageway just for them to not make use it.

776401 2009-05-25 05:11:00 I have made an excecutive decision. In future any pedestrian can use the Auckland Harbour Bridge to cross any time they want.

In return I expect to be able to drive my car on the footpath any time *I* want.

It's only fair I think.

776402 2009-05-25 05:13:00 Well you are allowed to cross a footpath when coming out of your driveway. prefect (6291)
776403 2009-05-25 05:51:00 True. But that way I can only run two or three over at any one time.

I was rather hoping for more than that!

776404 2009-05-25 09:01:00 It helps me understand how one loony could defy the cops in Napier for so long.

I guess they were lucky he took his own life or they might all still be there.

Anyway, I don’t think we have a Police Force anymore, they’re all just “Uniform Lovers”.
