Shared pathway adjacent to the Õtaki River - Aussie Zone

Transcription: a photo of a shared pathway entrance with a series of steel pipes placed to create very narrow pathways to enter. The width is hard to tell from the angle of the photo, but far too narrow for a wheelchair or bicycle to fit.

I cant figure out what they intend this to do.

Supposedly it’s to keep motorbikes out.

But when your design also forces bikes to be lifted up, cuts out wheelchairs and even fat people…it’s astonishing to me that any government department could think this was OK.

Motorbikes will 100% go round via that patch of dirt next to it.

I reckon (could be way wrong) that you could get a bicycle through by turning the handlebars 90 degrees in either direction so they slip through the thin bit and the bit at the bottom is wider so the wheel could go through as long as you lift it and roll the bike on its back wheel. Thats still really rubbish if that’s the design tho.

I doubt a wheelchair is getting through there anyway anyhow.

Apparently it’s not finished yet and they might end up fencing it off to prevent going around in the dirt.
