It's not just that statement; it's the ideology underneath it. It's about taking away the opportunity for people to be able to have their say in how their streets are managed, so that the local territorial authorities and transport authorities can carve up their streets without consultation, put planter boxes in, and limit access to people's streets and neighbourhoods, and all in the name of putting in a two-year pilot without any consultation. And it could be that they put in a cycleway, a bus lane, speed bumps, or close the street down, or limit it to just cars that have some type of emission standard or not. This is the ideology that is seeping into our transport policy and it needs to be called out, because ultimately our roads are for getting around. They are not a plaything or a toy for the Minister of Transport to play with, with planter boxes and other ideological implements that he wants to do.
