(2) What is the breakdown of how this money has been spent and how it will be spent.
(3) What are the timelines for completion of this work.

(6) Will the Government implement recommendations made in the upcoming review of city pedestrian and cycling infrastructure that recommend significant redesigning of Bunda Street.
