I understand it is because of a cycle way, although I haven't seen that advertised. The time this project has taken and the manner that the construction has been engineered has to be seen to be believed. The extravagance , the hotch potch of expensive materials - the complexity - for what ? If it is for a cycle way, I don't know where the cyclists will be coming from or going to. That part of the city is very quiet with few cyclist or cars so this extravagance is completely unnecessary. Richardson Tce. has experienced several major flood events over the last year or so and the whole area will require to be be re-engineered to lessen that and the Tce. itself is a real mess since the quakes, so my bet is all this work will be dug up over the next short time frame so the whole area can be made safe and functional.
The contractors doing this work are shaking their heads in disbelief as to what is going on around our city - another mad example is Worcester Street. Of course they are loving this work as they are filling their coffers while the council are draining ours !
Winter is well and truly here! From midnight tonight, a wintry storm could bring cold wind gusts and snow to parts of the Port Hills and Banks Peninsula.

Councillors voted in January to chlorinate the city's water supply after experts warned of there was a low risk of contamination. The council authorised chlorination for up to 12 months while the work was done.
Work on at least 19 was meant to have been finished by now, but the city council has indicated that none have been completed yet.

Double with music storage compartment preferred. No objection to recovering or renovating, but no woodworm please.
Thanks, Colin.
When it comes to an Earth-friendly wood, bamboo's hard to beat. And in the hands of local designers Bevan Whiting and Andrew Veitch, it's being turned into beautiful and innovative home products.
See how they find creative ways to showcase bamboo's sustainable wow factor, here.
