security camera, cloud camera , cloud storage : Child safety concerns raised as Wellington cycle lanes rolled out

A “complete f... up” is how a Wellington grandmother has described the city’s newest bike lanes after a near miss with a cyclist while dropping her grandchild at daycare.

Louise Swann says she was yelled at by a cyclist as she and her daughter-in-law tried to navigate crossing the lane from a park outside Island Bay Childcare on The Parade, with her 3-year-old granddaughter in tow.

“Yes I was standing in the cycle lane, but I wanted her to slow down, because you know what little kids are like...”

The newly built cycle way is part of the council’s city-wide bike network project. It runs parallel to the footpath, with a raised concrete strip separating the parking spaces which sit alongside it, forcing anyone dropping children at the center, or using the nearby physiotherapist, to maneuver across both the narrow lip and the cycle way.
