The council decided on Monday to complete its 101-kilometre network of cycleways by 2028 – one year earlier than proposed in the draft LTP, but still 11 years later than expected when the network was first proposed in 2013.
It also decided to bring forward a cycleway connection from Westmorland to the Nor’West Arc cycleway from 2031 to 2025.
The council also decided to spend $931m over 10 years on roads and footpaths and $96.7m on public transport infrastructure, including bus stops and shelters.

Barriers have been pushed aside and signs removed in the pursuit of free parking in central Christchurch, as charges are about to increase by almost 50 per cent.
A bunch of motorists have pounced on a once car-free lane that stretches across several Christchurch blocks. It is now lined with vehicles parking for free.
Huanui Lane, which runs through Rauora Park, is a shared zone for pedestrians, cars and cyclists, but has yet to officially open to vehicles.
A case of brazen parking thieves? Or a reasonable solution to a lack of central city parking?

Yes, it is only about bread rolls, but it is also indicative of the price gouging and profiteering that NW (and other supermarkets) engage in and we pay for. I would urge others to raise their voices (or keyboards) to challenge the rip off practices of supermarkets in NZ.
My message to them was as follows:
I'm a regular shopper at Stanmore. I pass two other NW on my way home from work but one of the main reasons I go to Stanmore is to buy the bread rolls for lunches. I noticed that other NW were reducing the size of the bread rolls whereas NW Stanmore did not. Alas, Stanmore has now also followed this trend.
I recall 18 months or so ago that NW Stanmore hiked the price of individual bread rolls up from 67c to something approaching a dollar each. Presumably to encourage people to buy a full bag at a lesser rate. This ill thought out plan quickly collapsed and the price was reduced to 79c per roll - an increase of nearly 20% on the previous cost.
And now the size of the rolls has significantly reduced. They are getting close to the size of a slider. And please do not tell me there has been no change as a blind man can see there has been.
Given the price that you sell a bag (up to 14 rolls) at, where I assume that you are still making a profit, to now reduce the size of the rolls after increasing the price is just blatant profiteering and trying to squeeze more out of customers for a lesser product.
If you are going to reduce the size or weight of the product you sell, then reduce the price accordingly. As it stands at the moment, NW Stanmore is deliberately ripping off its customer base.
79c is already expensive for a single bread roll. Please return them to their previous size!

Christchurch Youth Hub Trust and the Victoria Neighbourhood Association reached an agreement through an Environment Court mediation process, including measures such as a community liaison group, to mitigate against potential concerns raised by the residents’ group.
“We are absolutely thrilled with this wonderful news,” Youth Hub Trust chair Dame Sue Bagshaw said.
“This agreement means resource consent has now been achieved, enabling us to work together, hand in hand, to ensure that the Youth Hub delivers not only for the city’s young people in need, but also, importantly, the local neighbourhood.”
