OPINION:
There s a bit of a battle going on in Onehunga, where several suburban side streets have been blocked to through traffic with heavy plywood boxes and artificial grass and patterns stencilled onto the asphalt.
Drivers used to rat-running on Arthur St, Grey St and some of the other streets nearby are now encouraged to use the main roads.
