We can tell people that the planned Basin Reserve flyover is a bad idea, but the argument really sticks once we can show people how bad a flyover would be. Here is the first image of our model of the planned Basin Reserve flyover next to the Basin:
We think the whole Basin flyover plan is an outrageous and unnecessary waste of money. If you agree, here are some things you can do:
- Email Prime Minister John Key, john.key@parliament.govt.nz, and tell him why his Government’s planned flyover is a bad idea. We’ll be giving you lots of arguments as time goes on, but to start with, here’s some cricket-related ones: http://blogs.espncricinfo.com/inbox/archives/2012/10/save_basin_reserve_for_cricket.php
