A Wakari resident is ‘‘over the moon’’ as the Otago Regional Council looks to alter ‘‘dangerous’’ bus routes in the area. Two bus routes in the Wakari area (top) and regional council’s preferred alternatives. These were parts of Shetland St, Centennial Ave and Lynn St. The council’s report said this was the preferred option as it meant the two routes did not overlap, which increased coverage. It would also trigger a policy which would require wider community consultation, since it would require significant changes to other bus routes, it said.
