Suggestions for a zebra crossing location in Featherston
Hello,
Featherston has two zebra crossings at the moment.
There could be a case made for a third on the Wellington side of town, but the question is where?
If you'd like to make your suggestions, we can try and come to a consensus so that should you find yourself talking to someone at the council who tells you that you should deal with NZTA, you'll at least have the same location suggestion as [hopefully] everyone else who feels like asking for it.
If you work backwards from the train crossing, up to the 70km sign, that's effectively your available range.
Obviously some locations along that stretch of road will simply not be suitable, but hopefully a suitable one will come to the forefront.
Speak now, or forever hold on for dear life to your kids / pets / life / shopping bags / takeaway / old person's trolley thing / school bag / work satchel / man bag / sports gear / gas bottle / drink crate / drunk mate / pizzas / pushchair / pram / stroller / buggy / annoying sibling / etc.
Cheers,

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
Poll: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? ☕
Wellington’s identity is built on its cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. We’ve seen the headlines about recent closures, and it’s a tough pill to swallow along with a $6+ coffee.
We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets ⚖️
