What a great way to get feedback on a trial street upgrade, a morning rave! #meetmeongloucester https://t.co/oEO392ri2i

[Geoff Haines @GFHaines]

Rapid road space reallocation in action! Christchurch is trialling upgrades to make Aranui Streets safer for all road users. This project was designed with the community & is part of NZTA's Streets for People programme. Trial feedback can be provided here: https://t.co/nRt4uWGQVe

A new Streets for People project being installed in Wainuiomata with new pedestrian crossings providing accessibility for people of all ages and supporting school travel. All designed with community feedback using on-road trials. New artwork and seating coming soon!

@RichardHills_ Have we considered banning private plastic rubbish collections on the North Shore? Not only is it unecessary plastic and duplicated rubbish truck miles, but they're often collected days later and the birds love making a mess of them!

[Geoff Haines @GFHaines]

New street changes underway on Gloucester St, Chch as part of NZTA Streets for People. It looks amazing & already feels safer on foot & bike. There's traffic calming & new street furniture for people enjoying the arts precinct. Check it out & provide feedback on the trial.

A recent @MikeLydon project to connect a new waterfront park to the city in NYC.
Didn't bring my boardies for a swim unfortunately...

[Geoff Haines @GFHaines]

What a great urban backdrop for your commute! This is the Botanic Garden ki Paekaka to City transitional cycleway supported by 75% during consultation. It's a work in progress and Wellington Council still seek feedback while many get to enjoy the benefits.

[Jimmy @doclangers]

Just look how good this is and over such a short space of time. City of Sydney did a great job here. Am doing a talk in Adelaide tomorrow and this is one of the great examples ill be using to help the conversation.

“It’s not my duty as mayor to make sure you have a parking spot. For me, it’s the same as if you bought a cow, or a refrigerator, and then asked me where you’re going to put them."

[Geoff Haines @GFHaines]

The Rolleston Avenue Improvements project is a great example of turning a disruption into an opportunity! While the museum is being redeveloped, the council has replaced a traffic lane with a quick build temporary cycleway. Traffic is unaffected, and cycling numbers are up!

[Geoff Haines @GFHaines]

Let's make more street for people!

[Geoff Haines @GFHaines]

There is less than 2 weeks now to apply for the Streets for People programme at Waka Kotahi. It's an awesome Fixed Term or Secondment opportunity to join a fantastic team and be part of a national programme helping to open streets for everyone to enjoy. https://t.co/2P2N5ljK3d

[Geoff Haines @GFHaines]

The Richmond Streets for People project in Tasman has already started to trial materials on their journey to more quickly implement separated cycleways on 5 streets. Surveys show people of all ages feel safer with the new separators. https://t.co/RGvXfkn9Ik
