Traffic trouble solved
With regard to our chocked road network being more apparent during school drop-off and pick-up hours, the logical solution would be to close all inner-city schools and the highly valued land that they occupy could then be used for housing.
Replacement large schools should then be built on the outer fringe where housing is envisaged, having plenty of buses taking students to and from school to discourage parents from being the transporters.
The Government wants to house more people here in Tauranga and have a reduction in vehicle use, so by using battery buses and people living closer to inner-city then it is a double solution.
