Permanent zebra-crossing to be installed on Vine Street

The Team from Whangarei District Council

We're installing a permanent zebra-crossing on Vine Street in the central city.

The temporary "courtesy crossing" has created a better link to the city from the bus hub and car park, as well as reducing speeding and letting people cross the road more safely. Now Vine Street is booming - the shop-fronts are near full occupancy and whether it's baking, gyms, op shops or something else, there are plenty of reasons to visit. You can also wander through The Strand arcade or Quality Street to access Cameron Street and the central city, and the foot-traffic is great for the many small businesses that have set up in the area.

The construction work starts on 13 May 2024 and will take about 3 weeks. At times during construction, Vine Street will be reduced to one-lane with stop/go control.

Harvestsafe Aotearoa! 🍠🥕🌿🌾 calling al Community Gardens

Kristi Neighbourly Lead from Tikipunga

🥬🥔🥕🫛 Calling all community gardens and māra kai! Here is a project that we think you'll be interested in - introducing Harvestsafe Aotearoa! 🍠🥕🌿🌾

Harvestsafe is a limited-term research project on community garden and māra kai soil in Aotearoa New Zealand. Māra/gardens can join the research as community-scientists, and learn more about the environmental quality of their soil while helping us learn about soil around Aotearoa! We'll ask you to fill in a 15-minute questionnaire and send a bag of soil from your garden to the University of Auckland. We will send you a report on metal contaminants and be in conversation with you about what next.

They are now receiving new garden/māra recruits until the end of December 2024, so share widely and get in touch with our researcher Moss at bcao914@aucklanduni.ac.nz asap if you'd like to participate!

See the poster to learn more about Harvestsafe Aotearoa, and check out our website at soilsafe.auckland.ac.nz... to learn more about our wider programm
