Avenues community help to plan a safe connection between Shared Paths

The Team from Whangarei District Council

💡 The Kamo Shared Path and Raumanga Shared Path are quite close together - what if they could be connected up? This year we're making safety and layout improvements around Central Avenue and its side-streets to do just that.

We've incorporated local feedback in the plan, which includes dedicated vehicle turning-lanes into First, Second and Third Avenue, slightly narrowed street-entrances, traffic islands to help people cross Central Avenue, and street-lights on existing walkways. 🛴

The changes don't just improve the journey for kids, people pushing prams or riding bikes, they'll also make life easier for drivers. More details and a technical drawing available at the link below.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
