Dunedin City Council candidate Richard Knights said it flew in the face of Team Dunedin’s policy of curbing wasteful spending. Much of the work on the first block, between Moray Pl and St Andrew St, has been completed. "I am looking forward to a return to two-way traffic and parking in George St, albeit with prettier paving," Cr Vandervis said. However, mayoral candidate Richard Seager said the George St project was "not good for cars, not good for cyclists, not good for pedestrians and not good for retailers".
