A decision on whether to close a section of the Matakana cycleway due to two deep slips near Whitmore Road had still not been taken, nor had the holes been fixed, as Mahurangi Matters went to press last week. The issue was referred to Auckland Transport (AT) last month after safety fears were raised by Rodney Local Board member and Matakana Coast Trail Trust (MCTT) chair Allison Roe and others. However, in a letter sent to members of MCTT and the Matakana Community Group last week, AT said it was difficult to resolve, since the section was not on AT’s asset management register, but it was going to recommend it should be closed immediately until an alternative route could be found or mitigation works completed.
