A series of tweaks have already been made after frustrated motorists complained about congestion and delays when the street's $20 million upgrade was completed in October last year.
The first changes have made a difference and complaints have dropped, Christchurch City Council senior traffic engineer Stephen Wright said, but more changes are likely.

Now more than ever, the fern seems to best capture the spirit of our country. If we look to our Māori roots, we are reminded of the twist or pikorua which resembles two intertwined pikopiko ferns - a fern known for thriving in dark, damp areas of our woods. A reminder that difficult conditions can actually be an opportunity for tremendous growth.
The entanglement of the pikorua also has no beginning or end which is often used to represent an everlasting bond. Although we are all on our own path in life, in the end we always come back together - we are all connected through our interwoven lives.

This Sunday, Michael Brown begins our new series, What if our brokenness were a bridge, not a barrier? Might sound like a strange title, but basically, this series will explore the damage that shame and guilt can wreak on us, and how God wants to set us free from those knots to live fully. We'll finish this series looking at the story of The Prodigal Son.
Hope you can join us, as always, the coffee is hot from 10.15am and the gathering goes from 10.30am-12pm!
With the National Remembrance Service taking place (Friday 29 March), some bins may not be collected. We’ll do our best to get to everyone, but if your bin hasn’t been collected by 7pm Friday, they will be collected on Monday instead. Please put them out by 6am Monday for collection.
no entry over Armagh St bridge by foot, scooter (or car) to Nth Hagley for the #WeAreOne National Remembrance Service tomorrow.
Closing to even foot traffic will cause much confusion, put a lot of pressure on the Botanic Gardens esp. the narrow footbridge- I hope I am wrong
PLEASE plan accordingly

People, sitting on picnic blankets and on chairs, turned to strangers and embraced, others wiped their partners tears and women wore headscarves to show their solidarity.
Speakers stood on a stage meant for the Bryan Adams concert cancelled a week earlier, and in front of them a sea of people sat in absolute silence as the names of the 50 killed were read out by the Linwood mosque Imam Ibrahim Abdul Halim.
