Dunedin Walkers Interest Group, now renamed Living Streets Dunedin, was first formed in June 2007, in response to interest from the Dunedin City Council, who wished to have a formal group to liaise with about pedestrian issues, and with assistance from Liz Thomas of Living Streets Aotearoa.
Projects
Our aim is to make Dunedin a more pleasant and safer place for walking, through advocacy and specific projects.
Our first project was to respond to the DCC proposal for the exemption of parking bans on the footpath in certain narrow streets.
(see our written submissions and an opinion piece published in the Otago Daily Times).
We have also done a walking audit of the pedestrian space in the Octagon, which has turned into more of a pedestrian corridor, because of the explosion of bars and outdoor eating in that space.
Other issues we want to tackle when we get going are: congestion on footpaths; integration with public transport; the value of a walker's army in improving our community in such ways as litter reduction.
Meeetings
We are an informal group, and hold meetings as needed. Next meeting will be a walking meeting on Wednesday September 9th at 5.30 pm. Meet at the terrace outside Crocodile Cafe, in the Botanic Gardens. For information phone Judy 453 4619.
