Government announces $685 million cycling and walking bridge for Auckland's Waitematā Harbour

Kia ora koutou. A new bridge costing $685 million is to be built for walkers and cyclists crossing Auckland’s Waitematā Harbour.

It is hoped construction can begin mid-2022, in a plan unveiled just five days after cycling lobbyists broke through a police barrier and rode over the existing Harbour Bridge, demanding action.

Transport Minister Michael Wood said once begun, the new structure is expected to take five years to complete, and work will continue on interim use of existing harbour bridge lanes for cycling and walking.

“A stand-alone structure is the safest option that will not only provide a walking and cycling option for commuters but creates an outstanding piece of tourism infrastructure,” said Wood.

2. After effects- I felt fine in the days after the first shot. 2nd shot, day after I was a … View more
I've had both shots now, so here's a few tips

1. The injection is painless- both times, the pressure of the nurse's fingers on my arm to setup the site was harder than the needle going in
2. After effects- I felt fine in the days after the first shot. 2nd shot, day after I was a bit sleepy and needed an extra coffee, but I'd done a marathon the previous weekend..
3. Take something to read , drink and eat - you have to wait for 20 minutes after the injection

Enjoy knowing your helping the team of 5m be protected

Hi Neighbours, I had a lovely session in Meadowbank this week meeting some local people interested in meditation.
I run courses for people new to meditation, and sessions for experienced meditators to refresh their practice and connect with others. It was lovely to meet some locals from Kohimarama, Meadowbank and Remuera keen to start or further their meditation path.
Living locally myself, it feels like we are growing a community.

Auckland Council - Building Wash

when our damns are less than 50% full and Auckland Council asking people to continue to conserve water, why AC is intending to wash the building/window wash at 135 Albert street? - note the building was washed a year ago.
This is their response::::
Auckland House has not been externally washed for some time, I believe it has been more than a year since the last building wash happened. Some of the façade external components deteriorate due to the climate and location of the building, so we need to perform a building wash at least once a year to extend the life of the asset

On top of this, the building wash is used to investigate the quality of windows sealant and windows in general, so we can fix leaks and repair where necessary.
We have asked the contractor, Ventia, to ensure they are using the minimum possible amount of water during the building wash. We’ve agreed on few points, as follows:
A flow control valve will be used to decrease the pressure and the amount of water used.
Water is only going to be used once triggered by the technician.
A water meter to measure the quantity used for the building wash.

We believe these activities will reduce the water consumption to the minimum required.

Really building wash every year???? BCs take note this is not a necessary expense on owners - as the rain in Auckland will do the bulk of the job in keeping windows/walls clean .
