Design changes for red zone bridges after community feedback
Plans for three footbridges going into the Christchurch river red zone have been reworked after complaints the original concepts lacked local flavour and would not blend into the environment.
The three structures, worth $13.7 million, will be part of the green spine, a network of trails and green areas that hug the banks of the river between the city centre and New Brighton. Funding will come from the Christchurch Earthquake Appeals Trust.
They were originally going to be white bridges with concrete pads, but Christchurch City Council has changed the plans after receiving feedback from 91 people or groups.
The most common complaints were about the bridges being white because it does not blend into the environment, and concerns about a lack of cultural identity or local flavour.
