Tried doing some interesting pedestrian vs vehicular traffic diagrams at the Piha Store and out towards the beach parking lots. Turns out they are not very complicated but are also very highly focused towards the vehicular side of the spectrum. Also at the Blairs parking lot there is a 1 way road that just seems unneccasarily dangerous to have. Did a little study on that to see if there could be an alternate solution to this obvious hazard. Also due to the construction in the same parking lot it has been a particular problem area and gets a little hairy during peak tourist hours on weekends.
Also checked out how the plants were doing on the dunes and they seem to be doing alright, i didnt notice any wilting or die out which usually happens fairly quickly after planting if they are going to die off. And i would assume that being on a hot dry beach with fast draining soil water and heat could be a major factor to weither the plants survive or not

We are addressing this 'one way' issue very soon as part of the Beach Valley Road Project. Drop in for coffee and we can chat about possible options :)
