00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:35,560

00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 1: the moment, it's happening at no cost to the ratepayers,

35
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 1: which is cool if you're still there. What's driving this

36
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,160

00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 2: a safe community submission to Council for the walking and

41
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 2: Cycling strategy quite a few years ago, and it's taken

42
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,360
Speaker 2: a bit of time to work through it. But yeah,

43
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 2: hopefully early next year we'll keep the spate in the

44
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 2: ground and it shouldn't take too long to sleep.
