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.

New Brighton Rd and other streets close to the Avon River flood even when it hasn’t been raining. All it takes is a fairly decent high tide before water is forced back up through stormwater pipes originally designed to drain water away.

A large health facility with procedure rooms and luxury recovery suites is proposed for a prominent site in Christchurch's health precinct.
The application proposes two levels of medical facilities and three levels of guest accommodation “proposed to function as luxury recovery rooms” for procedures done on the lower floors.
Huadu International NZ chief executive Aaron Boddington said the company was excited to develop the project, but declined to answer questions on when the facility would be built, who would operate it and how much it would cost.

The fire has been burning since about 11.25am on Sunday after flaring up on a Twizel riverbed and spreading to a large forest on Mt Cook Rd (State Highway 80).
It grew to 2500 hectares and had a 23 kilometre perimeter by Sunday night but on Monday, there was "significant spread" overnight and it was now covering 3100 hectares.
There are 17 helicopters and two fixed-wing aircraft battling the fire, with the first helicopters equipped with monsoon buckets going up at first light.

With capacity on buses reduced due to social distancing requirements, some Christchurch users have reported delays and passengers being left behind because there was not enough room.
A Christchurch commuter said "some bus drivers care about how many are on the bus and some don't".
Do you think it's okay that bus drivers self-enforce social distancing?

Christchurch City Council recently converted 65 of its 196 meters to credit/debit card only to combat damage and theft.
However, it is not easy to identify which machines no longer take cash.
Do you think we should move to a totally cashless system?
