The removal of car parks in Howe St has hurt business for Piano Specialists owner Jim Strang. But as contractors began to turn temporary safety measures into permanent ones yesterday, the Howe St business owner said he did not have "a lot of time and energy" to try to stop something that was "always going to happen". Workers from Bailey’s Concrete Cutting cut into the footpath in Howe St, north Dunedin, near the intersection with George St, yesterday. "And I can only imagine what it’s like for someone who wants to come and see us." The work was part of the council’s $3million, 15-school programme that prioritised safety over parking at Dunedin schools.
