What's coming up in March?
CAT forum: On Tueday 9th March, the next Canterbury Active Transport (CAT) forum will be held at Evironment Canterbury from 1 – 3 pm. Come earlier (from midday) if you want to do some networking and catch a light lunch.
Walk to Work Day. Walk to work through the square on Wednesday 10th March and catch the Living Streets Crew handing out some breakfast and other goodies between 7 and 9 am.
March Walk: On Tuesday 23rd March, Chrys will lead a walk in the vicinity of Princess Margaret Hospital which is likely to involve walking up (and down) some hills in the Cashmere area. There is the option of coffee and a light meal at the café afterwards.
Meet at the bikestands outside Zeroes café (next to the hospital) at 5.30. pm. The number 10 bus and the Orbiter both go past the door.
Jan Gehl Public Space Public Life Study
In 2009, Danish urban designer Jan Gehl undertook a Public Space Public Life Study of Central Christchurch. This has been released early in 2010 and has some great stuff in it around walking and making Christchurch less of a car focused city. Check out the report here.
