Welcome Phillipa Shaw 021 914 565 Call to improve cycle safety on Memorial Avenue • By Sophie Cornish A CALL has been made to improve cycle safety on Memorial Ave including extending cycle lanes and changes to parking management. In a city council Long Term Plan 2018-2028 submission last week, the Commodore Hotel expressed its interest in supporting an increase in cyclists using Memorial Ave, however, it said cyclists often have to compete with parked cars for space in the corridor. “This pushes cyclists out into the traffic lane encroaching into motorist’s space and creates an unsafe environment for all,” said the submission, presented by general manager Michael Patterson. Currently on-street parking on Memorial Ave is not subject to time restrictions or parking fees. The hotel is requesting parking restrictions be applied to reduce all-day parking near the airport and that ideas around parking clearways during peak hours and shared paths be considered. •Turn to page 4 Ashburton 03 307 8949 Blenheim 03 579 5353 Fendalton 03 351 3535 Greymouth 03 768 5528 Halswell 03 322 4326 Rangiora 03 310 7355 houseofhearing.co.nz *Offer on the purchase of selected hearing aids, valid to 29th June 2018.
