Plan for safe cycling route
• From page 1
Over the past few months
city council staff have been
analysing the submissions,
continuing to meet with
businesses and submitters, and
looking at design options to
address as many of the issues
raised as possible.
The Wheels to Wings cycleway
aims to provide a safe cycling
route for people travelling
through Papanui, Bishopdale,
Harewood and in the airport
area.
About 7000 people work at the
airport campus and the airport
has reported that there is strong
demand for safe cycling routes.
It also provides benefits to the
wider community through additional
crossings for pedestrians
and safety improvements at
intersections.
This cycleway is part of a network
of cycleways that is being
constructed to make it safer and
easier to bike around Christchurch.
“The public information days
are an opportunity to discuss
the feedback from consultation,
share the design work we’ve been
doing and for people to provide
feedback on the additional work
we’ve done,” said Ellis.
“We’ll display all of the options
we’ve considered including
our preferred design that has
incorporated the feedback we
received.”
ON DISPLAY: The city council’s proposed Wheels to Wings
cycleway.
“The extra information will
also help people to prepare
their comments to the hearings
panel who will make a
recommendation to the
council.”
Wheels to Wings cycleway information days will
be held at the former Ara campus building in
Bishopdale Mall on:
Today, October 28, noon to 7pm
Tomorrow, 9am to 3pm
•Due to Covid-19 restrictions, people are asked to
book a time to attend an information day on the
Wheels to Wings web page.

scoring 21-15 over Julie Dalley’s

Rossiter, Kay Wallace and
Sonia Butler.

promising for the first 10 ends
leading 12-6 but Morel’s team
fought back, buoyed on by a
four and a five on the 14 th and
16 th ends, to move away to a
comfortable win by five shots by
the 18 th end.
For Morel, this was the closest
margin she and her team had
faced over the four previous

‘This collection of paintings has been inspired by a seven day
boat trip in Fiordland that I went on last October 2020. This Kotare watching the incoming tide
complete contrast of landscape to most of the rest of New Zealand,
has started my journey of exploration into these paintings.
The wild Southern Ocean acts as a protective barrier to the rugged
land of the fiords.
A vast place of vertical steep land, dense forest and huge volumes
of precipitation and very few landing spots have saved this extensive
area from exploitation.’
