Back on track: rants and raves
- WellUrban
- There's a lot going on regarding transport at the moment. First of all, if you believe that shutting down the trolley buses is a bad idea, then there's a public meeting at 3pm this Sunday to discuss what to do about it. Where? At the Aro Valley Community Hall, of course.

Parks vs parking
- WellUrban
- Thanks to Simon Bush-King, designer of the new Courtenay Place park, for his comments clarifying my detailed questions. Many of us will be glad to hear that yes, the narrow footpath between the north edge of the park and the road will be widened, and the awkward bollards removed.

Park on the Place
- WellUrban
- It's just been announced that the council is seeking public feedback on the design of a new pocket park on the corner of Courtenay Pl and Taranaki St. I've been talking about this for a while, and the combination of wine bar, public square and good burgers looks like a winner.
