A large  majority of more than 1400 people who took part in an Otago Daily Times poll oppose a plan to make Dunedin’s George St one-way.

A total of 78% were against making the street one-way as part of a plan to make it more pedestrian friendly.

The poll is not scientific.

It comes after the Dunedin City Council’s planning and environment committee this week decided to push ahead with a business case for a one-way design for the city’s main shopping street, with the flexibility to convert back to a two-way street if it did not work out.

It rejected a staff recommendation for the opposite — a two-way design with the ability to shift to one-way.
