Auckland Council has revealed the final design of its Queen Street makeover.

Three projects to upgrade the city centre street have been rolled into one and will be completed over the next 12 months.

A key change is wider footpaths, that will be shared by people on feet and wheels.

The path closest to shops is for slower moving pedestrians, while the side closest to the street is for bikes, scooters and people moving quickly on foot.

Changes in paving texture, planting, street furniture will separate the two paths.

General parking on Queen Street will be removed, but space has been designated for loading zones along the street.

Between Wellesley and Wakefield Streets there will be two lanes in each direction reserved for buses, motorcycles, delivery and emergency vehicles, cyclists and scooters. Private vehicles will not be allowed here.

What do you think of the planned makeover of Queen Street?

People are rolling down their street in wheelchairs, bikes and wheelbarrows to raise awareness for muscular dystrophy.

Roll 1k for MDA is an annual event where people roll 1km on any kind of wheels to fundraise for the Muscular Dystrophy Association of New Zealand.

This year the event is taking place virtually, with people rolling in their respective bubbles and sharing photos online.

MDA member Neil Singh has Duchenne muscular dystrophy which led to the deterioration of his skeletal, heart and lung muscles.

His parents Yasha Aggarwal and Kuldeep Singh said MDA has provided vital support for Neil.

“They knew everything, every emotion without us mentioning it,” the couple said.

“MDA has held our hand and helped us with various stages of Neil’s condition.”

People are encouraged to get creative and complete their journey on any kind of wheels like wheelchairs, electric scooters, skateboards, roller skates and push bikes.

If you decide to take part in this fundraiser, share a photo below below!

An artwork created during lockdown, featuring a miniaturised snapshot of the 1pm conferences Kiwis have become so familiar with, is selling online.

Mt Albert artist Jesse James created “The Bubble” to support those in need and will donate all the proceeds of the auction to the mental health charity I AM HOPE.

“We’re all living in our own little bubbles, so I feel like having these little characters inside a bottle symbolises this,” he said.

“With us being in lockdown, people’s mental health just gets way worse, and they feel like they don’t have anyone to reach out to.”

The piece is currently displayed at the Turua Gallery in St Heliers. It features Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and Ashley Bloomfield delivering the 1pm press conference, encapsulated in a glass bottle.

The auction closes on September 26.
