it would need to be developed together, with cycle ways - as a 'larger picture' effort to boost Te Aroha.

Improving walking and cycling connections

Tell us what you think about Improving walking and cycling connections:
Slow but steady
Any other comments on Improving walking and cycling connections:
It would be important to recognize the demographics of the initial polls for this 'want' - we are a predomintly a rural sector who utlilises vehicles.
-> adequate parking near bike/walk/trails for rural users.
-> Bike park/hire for low income families/tourists.

Dog park in Matamata

Tell us what you think about Dog park in Matamata:
Our preferred option – create a dog park at Swap Park
Any other comments on Dog park in Matamata:
great idea - can it be fully fenced?
- drinking water facilities
- a dog wash facility -> 'pay per use'
What do you think about our proposed limits for rates and debt?
it is what it is,
it is for the betterment of the district. :)
What do you think about our plans for our other projects?
Overall - good!
due to covid, we should probably not go 'hard & fast' for small town tourist features. But in 4-10 years;
the 'overall' connections & improvement, of the towns will be a great attraction.

Things we want to investigate/Looking further ahead/Things we're compromising on:

Other comments:
Another idea I would like to see is more children's playgrounds fully fenced. With increased traffic, as a mother, it would be a less stressful 'day out' if I know my kids could not get onto the road.
Shade sails would also be great at parks :)
