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.
🪱🐦 When are you the most productive? 🌙🦉
The Post has been diving into our daily habits, and research suggests being an early bird or a night owl isn’t just a choice—it’s biology! We all have that specific time when our brains finally "click" into gear.
This raises a big question for the modern workplace. To get the best out of everyone, should employers accommodate our natural body clocks? This idea is at the heart of the four-day work week and flexible scheduling movements.
We want to hear from you:
1. When does your brain "click" into gear?
2. Would a flexible (or shortened) schedule change the way you work?
Premature theft
Increasing the cost of fuel in anticipation before any actual justification I regard as blatant premeditated theft.
The CEO's who condone this premature theft for their share holders BEFORE they have any justified reasons will not be so quick and prematurely reduce the price when the situation is reduced.
Nor if the situation is quickly restored will they arrange payback if they have over reacted.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
