2 Latest Christchurch news at www. .kiwi Tuesday March 7 2017 Inside FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK NOR’WEST NEWS News.......................................3-5 IT’S KIND of been a bit of a slam dunk I’m afraid in regards to city councillor Aaron Keown’s unsuccessful bid to get traffic lights at the Gardiners, Breens and Harewood Rds intersection. On page 4 today, Mayor Lianne Dalziel outlines why Keown did not get the necessary votes to get the improvements through the council. Keown also has his say on the matter in our weekly Soapbox column (page 4). The intersection rates 94th out of 100 medium-risk intersections in the city. So that either means there are a heck of a lot of risky intersections in the city, or there are many other more worthy intersections that need upgrading. Also, a cycle scheme at Jellie Park has been a success the organisers of it say and they are looking to roll it out at other recreation centres (page 3). – Barry Clarke GET IN TOUCH General Enquiries Ph 379-7100 Classified Advertising Ph 379-1100 The Christchurch Star Company Ltd.

NOR’WEST NEWS Latest Christchurch news at www. .kiwi Tuesday March 7 2017 3 News Cycle scheme a success • By Julia Evans A BICYCLE scheme to get people to leave their cars at home has been labelled a success and might soon roll out across the city. City council head of recreation and sport John Filsell said initial data showed the scheme at Jellie Park Recreation and Sports Centre was fully completed 17 times and partially completed 13 times. There were at least 117 individual visits from people on bicycles in February. The Jellie Park Bike Initiative Project committee was formed by the Fendalton-Waimairi- Harewood Community Board in May to gather public feedback on ways to combat the parking problem at Jellie Park. “The hope is to free up car parks, create healthy habits and make sure there is community involvement,” project committee chairwoman Bridget Williams said. Extensions to Jellie Park’s car park were voted down by the city council after an overwhelmingly negative response to public consultation. Board chairman David CYCLING: Bridget Williams, chairwoman of the Jellie Park Bike Initiative Project committee, is expecting a report back on just how successful the pilot scheme has been. PHOTO: ANDREW KING Cartwright said the number of people cycling meant there were at least 100 empty car parks that otherwise may have been full. He said that would only increase as the public became more aware of the initiative. Mr Cartwright said they might look into running it at other centres around the city, including the Pioneer and Graham Condon sports and recreation centres. The board and project committee are expecting a report back this week on the scheme’s overall success and whether it will be continued permanently. Mr Cartwright and Bridget Williams, chairwoman of the project committee, agreed the pilot run went really well but they’re waiting for confirmation from the report. Spokes Canterbury cycling group said the only way to discourage people driving would be to charge for parking. However, Ms Williams said that charging people would only increase frustrations. In Brief MORE WORK ON RUTLAND ST Businesses on Rutland St struggling to get customers in due to road works outside their shops will face more disruption as further construction of the Papanui Cycleway began last week. The entrance to Malvern St and Westminster St from Rutland St will be closed at alternate times for three weeks. Rutland St, between Weston Rd and Innes Rd, will be one-way for four weeks. North-bound traffic will need to detour along Innes Rd on to Bretts Rd and then back on to Weston Rd. THEFT FROM CARS The Belfast Community Network is warning residents to lock their cars and make sure windows are closed when parking at Sheldon Park. The community group has received several reports of cars being broken into in the car park. FUNDING GRANT Flynn McDonald, 16, has received a $300 grant to participate in the New Zealand national age group swimming championships in Wellington later this month.
