I’m signing this because to name this tunnel after a well respected man is a small token of appreciation for both the memory of Jim and his family.

I knew Jim, my partner worked with him in NZ on the Clyde dam working in the tunnels. Couldn’t think of a more deserving man to have this tunnel named after him. If you knew him fond memories of a hard but oh so comical man. I hope they do name the tunnel after u Jim Adams “what a man”

Jim Adam's was an uncle of mine. His mother and my grandmother were sisters and we visited our whanau in Turangi during the construction. We were sadden to hear of his loss but naming this tunnel in his honour would be embraced by all who knew him and his whanau. All the best.....

I know several of Jim's extended family and they are all good, hardworking people. It would be lovely to have Jim honoured in this way.

Jacinta Latta (Dunedin, 2020-03-31)

#717

Im signing this because i worked on the southern section when the message came through that Jim had been injured, we just didnt know how bad the injury was at the time. Jims horrible accident and passing sent shock waves through all of us tunnellers because that could have been any one of us at any time. One man lost is one man too many. I will never forget what happened. Dedicate the northconnex tunnel to Jim Adams so the world never forgets either.

There wouldn't be a tunnel if it weren't for men such as Jim Adams, who lost his life while working on a project that benefits all of us.. What better tribute than to show our appreciation not only for his and others hard toil but also for his great sacrifice . Make it account for something.

I was shift boss at southern site of NCX project and was working at the time when this tragedy happened. Dallas later came out to southern and did a presentation on his himself first, then his brother, father and tunnel life, it was a moving speech and the 100 odd people listening were all completely and utterly motion less and engulfed with Dallas every word. I will never forget it.
