Further Attempts To Delay Transmission Gully?

The front page of the Dominion Post is again carrying a story questioning Transmission Gully. It seems that Transit are having trouble with three landowners and this is complicating the task of identifying the exact location of the fault line that is meant to run across the proposed alignment of the new road. It carries a quote from super brain local geologist Tony Edwards "It would not be wise to build a road or a bridge within about 200 metres of the fault" he says. For the record, SH1 passes over a bridge at the mouth of the Pauhatanui inlet just before the famous T2 lanes in Paremata. Guess what also is spanned by this bridge? The same fault line that Transmission Gully will have to deal with.

Come on Dominion Post, you can do better.
