Community Board cycleway briefing this Thursday

The Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood and Papanui-Innes Community Boards will hold a joint briefing this Thursday 2 December at 6pm on the Wheels to Wings – Papanui ki Waiwhetū Major Cycleway. This workshop was requested by Councillors in a February 2021 Notice of Motion, which directed staff to produce a range of design options for the Community Boards to consider in public workshops prior to the commencement of the hearings process. The purpose of the workshop is to provide information to the Community Boards, to inform their submissions to the Wheels to Wings hearings panel.
At the workshop design changes made following initial consultation, and a summary of the feedback received in the second round of community engagement will be presented, and the Community Board members will have the opportunity to ask the project team questions. Due to COVID restrictions public cannot attend in person but the meeting will be livestreamed on the Council’s web page and YouTube channel. Click through to read the full agenda:

Bus Route Review: changes proposed for routes 17, 28, and 125

Changes to local bus routes are being proposed by Environment Canterbury. The review could see two new routes being made out of a combination of the current Route 17 (Bryndwr to Huntsbury) and Route 28 (Casebrook to Lyttelton). As part of the proposal, the route 125 (Redwood to Westlake) that presently stops at the airport terminal would instead use the bus stop outside the Antarctic Centre on Orchard Rd and not go into the terminal. Feedback is also sought on purchasing electric buses rather than the budgeted low-emission diesel ones. Click through for more information, including proposed route maps and an online feedback form:

There will be a link sent out to you this Friday 26th Nov to access the event – but you MUST be registered.
