Has anyone done any looky looky at streets around Auckland that might be able to give an "easy" route across, through and around the city? That is, some second tier streets that might mean a bit of diversion but eliminate the main routes? When they DO hit the main arterials it might be useful to "impose" very frequent crossings for bikes to keep cycle flow going. I have been lookin intently at Wellington and the Hutt for something similar.

.... I wonder what the other circumstances are? I was sure there was only one way....
Re getting bunned in the oven while on a benefit.........looks like there might be approaches but with consideration. Anyone got any guesses how that might be achieved? Anecdotes abound.
And Danielle. Just for you on page 53:
We have heard examples of people changing their living arrangements in response to financial penalties.
and
The Welfare Working Group understands that this is outside of their Terms of Reference. However, it is highly undesirable to have benefit support influencing family formation. The Welfare Working Group thinks that the Government needs to consider this in the future.
Which might be good ...or bad.
