Suggest- ing to motorists and ratepayers that it is “time for you to push back” is a poor message. Maybe it is a genera- tional attitude on his part. We all know that to reduce our carbon emissions we must cut back on our use of fossil fuels and our reliance on our cars for relatively short journeys. People need to be encouraged to use other modes of transport like cycling, electric scooters and walking. Pathways and corridors criss-crossing the city would make it a safe, easy, healthy and enjoyable option for people to choose. We do need to change the way we use our cars and we need to change now. Every person has a part to play in combating global warming. I regularly cycle from Springvale to town and although Whanganui motorists on the whole are respectful and considerate to other road users, our current roading network generally does not cater that well to alternative means of transport - but it is improving. /ƾ applauded for the leadership they are showing, they too recognise that we need to change the way we transport ourselves and I for one will support them so that the burden of change does not fall entirely on the next generation. - Des Healy, Springvale
