"What they have is a reasonably steep street but with some sections that are steeper than others. Where as we've got a steep street which is very steep over its entire width." They haven't measured it on the centreline and when you're designing a road, all road design manuals when you're talking about road gradient they measure centreline gradient." Enterprise Dunedin director John Christie said it was great to see just how much Baldwin Street's record meant to Dunedin.
