Christchurch mayor Phil Mauger is pushing to use a lane of traffic for hospital car parking, while opposing doing the same to create a cycleway on Park Tce.

The Christchurch City Council will on Wednesday consider Mauger’s plan to temporarily close one lane of traffic on part of Hagley Ave and Riccarton Ave. It will also make the final decision on whether to keep a temporary cycleway on Park Tce, which Mauger has heavily criticised in the past.

At the hospital he was proposing the council trial the lane closure for up to 10 days before making a final decision. Such a test was not done with Park Tce, he said. In a mayor’s report to the council, Mauger said the 10-day trial would allow time to assess options for increasing on-street car parking.

Ōtira and Springfield celebrate 100 years since tunnel opening

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

Ōtira was a bustling town with about 650 people when the Ōtira Tunnel first linked the West Coast to the rest of the South Island 100 years ago.

Ōtira was a bustling town with about 650 people when the Ōtira Tunnel first linked the West Coast to the rest of the South Island 100 years ago.

Communities at both ends of the tunnel are celebrating its centenary on Friday.

The rail tunnel travels 8.5km through the Southern Alps and was once the seventh longest tunnel in the world, and the longest in the British Empire.

Although the rail tunnel is now only the third longest in the country, it remains an engineering marvel.

During its construction, tunnellers contended with harsh conditions, using basic tools to drive through wet shale and rock, and with the steep track required from Ōtira to Arthur’s Pass.

A committee of Ōtira residents was set up two years ago to organise a celebration to commemorate 100 years since the tunnel opened on August 4, 1923.

Dimensions are 13cmX13cmX9.5cm (approx). Each box is constructed then placed in an oven at 140deg C for one hour and then left to cool. The box is then taken apart and trimmed to minimise the gaps that occur during the seasoning process before being re-assembled and oiled using several applications of rice bran oil. So the box is ready to line with baking paper and slow bake your favourite cake. You must remember to always line your cake box with either baking paper or brown paper. Simply brush any crumbs or spills out after each use and never wash your cake box by immersing it in water. These boxes are designed for slow and low baking at temperatures of 150C or lower and they should not be used on the stovetop or in the microwave. Re-apply rice bran oil when the wood starts to look dry.
