We need to address this situation BEFORE there is a fatality! Do you feel safe riding or walking along the side of a road? How about trying to cross Port Road Bridge? This bridge was built in 1956, 63 years ago. How many Near Misses have happened? How many accidents have happened? Most other bridges in town have footpaths attached, either once side or both. For some reason... this doesn't have one! With a huge amount of people working out towards the Port, why hasn't this happened sooner. NZTA says that if you are to walk on a road, walk towards the traffic, but that would also mean crossing the road, which is tricky enough having to cross 2 sets of double lanes, and merging ones at that. (We all know how good some are at merging) I have heard that there is some plans to put a bridge across here when the shared path goes in... but how far away is that?

"Preliminary designs released for Whangārei’s Civic Centre Project  Preliminary designs of Whangārei’s new civic building have been released to the public, and while many design elements are still being worked through and finalised with input from local Hapu, Whangārei Mayor Sheryl Mai is delighted by the progress. “These designs show a wonderful symmetry with the Central Library,’ says Mayor Mai, ‘while connecting the surrounding green space of Cafler Park and Waiarohia Stream. Accessibility has always been at the top of the ‘needs’ list, and this preliminary design shows a welcoming, open entranceway with easy flow from the adjacent Shared Path, Central Business District, Library and Forum North, completing the new civic precinct.”  With all public services situated at ground level, the preliminary designs include a light-filled central atrium, a larger, more accessible customer-facing contact centre and ground-floor Council Chambers.  Along with the preliminary designs...
