A new partly sealed bike lane has appeared on New Brighton Rd, but it looks half done according to some locals.
What are your thoughts on this new bike lane? Is it safe?
UPDATE: A Christchurch City Council spokesperson said the lane would be extended hopefully this week and then a final surface would be added from kerb to kerb. The end result will be a consistent surface across the whole carriageway, he said. There will be a delay before the final surface is completed, early November, to allow time for the first one to harden.

Every night Gary Bridgman’s Christchurch home is lit up like a sports stadium.
The Fendalton resident blames new LED streetlights installed on the street outside, and says complaints to the city council about an “unbelievable” glare coming through his windows have gone unresolved for weeks.
The two lights either side of the house produce a whiter light than their predecessors, Bridgman says, causing the house to be “lit up like it’s floodlit” at night. He has seen other LED streetlights in his area that are “very good”.
Council says the complaints are being investigated and the contractor has been asked to provide a solution.

Pages Rd, which is a main road to New Brighton, often floods when it rains, causing problems for pedestrians and motorists.
Councillor for the area Phil Mauger got so fed up with the situation that he went in with a digger last month and dug a trench – it fixed the flooding overnight.
The council blocked the trench as it was deemed a safety hazard.
It wasn't going to fund the works to fix the problem for another four years – but voted to bring it forward to start next year at a council meeting yesterday.
The $12 million project includes a new stormwater treatment facility, stopbanks near the Avon River and a tidal wetland.

About 70 hectares of red zone land in the Christchurch suburbs of Brooklands, Southshore and South New Brighton were also transferred to city council ownership.
The land was passed over as part of the global settlement, wide-ranging agreement outlining the division of some earthquake recovery costs and responsibilities of the Christchurch City Council and the Crown. It was signed in September 2019.
Bill Sutton was a well-known New Zealand artist and his 1960s architecturally designed house in Templar St in Richmond has been extensively restored by the Crown. Sutton painted most of his celebrated works on the site. It will be set up as a museum.
