There's some new traffic tech in town
A few days ago Plugshare notified me that there was a new electric vehicle (EV) charger at the recently opened Pohe Island Car Park. So I decided to check it out, and there it was - a Schneider EVlink charger with a D-shaped type 2 (Mennekes) outlet. Fellow EV owners - please bring your own type 2 charging cable or adapter, just like for the one at The Warehouse. Many thanks to WDC, or Northpower, or whoever put that charger there (the Rock & Roll Club? ;-) - it's very much appreciated, and great to see that chargers are becoming a standard feature for new car parks.
And then I noticed, while walking around in the CBD (I know, I know... don't say it!) that the pedestrian traffic lights at the Rathbone St / Robert St intersection had been upgraded to modern LED ones, which are larger, brighter and easier to see (at least to me), and also include a display counting down the seconds left while it is still safe for pedestrians to cross the intersection. I think this is a great safety improvement, as long as we still have cars, cars, cars petroling and dieseling and blaring and thumping through the CBD, often in an aggressive and dangerous way around intersections and pedestrian crossings. So again, thank you for that, WDC.
It's those little improvements and changes for the better that seldom get any attention, news coverage or positive feedback. We love to complain about everything that's wrong under the sun but rarely appreciate the little things and steady progress and continuous improvements being made.

🎭 Tricky, Twisty, and Totally Fun—Let’s Riddle! 🤹♂️
I bring people together, though I’m not alive;
I’m small but vital, helping communities thrive;
I’m often green, sometimes blue or red—
without me, connections might be dead—
What am I?
