Bay of Plenty Times So last week I trotted off to a shop in Greerton. Being part of the Team of Five Million I stood at the shop door looking for the Covid app to scan. Nothing to be seen. Went inside and asked an attendant who directed me to a countertop. Nothing to be seen. I was then told it was under a pile of new deliveries. I gave up.
Next shop stop was in Fraser Cove. No Covid app at the door. At the counter I was told I would see it on the back of the door on my way out.
The project was completed with funding from Waka Kotahi New Zealand Transport Agency. One of the controversial new covered bike stands in the central city was also due for completion on Wednesday – a 60-bike stand in Montgomery Square. Cyclists using the stand might make their way into town using the just-completed connecting shared cycle-walkway between the Maitai river precinct and the Railway Reserve, which after one hiccup in construction opened this week. The disruption to the Railway Reserve from the roadworks connecting a new hilltop development and Princes Dr to Waimea Rd has also come to an end, with the new reserve underpass also opening this week.
