[ad_1]
Edit 9pm 6 April: See the link in the comments for an update – “A man who protested construction of a cycleway by standing out in the rain with his placard, appears to have won the battle.” Thanks Mike Davidson City Councillor – Papanui for sharing.

The Grassmere Street section of the under-construction Papanui Parallel cycleway is in the news today: “Roading contractors have been forced to down tools as residents angry at Christchurch’s new road and cycleway design have taken their protest to the street.”
