A great idea and a project of the International Federation of Pedestrians
Submitted by andysmith on Thu, 29/03/2012 - 22:24When streets are dead-end for cars but are open for pedestrians as well as cyclists we label them living-end-streets.
We have a green flyer that you can place in people's letterboxes asking them to cut back vegetation that is a footpath obstacle.
You can order Vegetation Fliers by email to: accounts [at] livingstreets.org.nz.
Councils and other organisations can order print runs with their logo included. Or find a sponsor and we can get them printed for you with your sponsor's name.
Vegetation Flyers are available free to members and individuals at local meetings or we can send small numbers to members direct. Larger numbers by arrangement.
Our campaign to make laws safer for pedestrians gets NZ Herald coverage.

I can't believe how useful this iPhone application is. Anywhere in NZ I can take a photo of the street problem (car on path, overhanging trees), write a description the phone uses GPS to tell where I am. Press REPORT and it will send it to the council in charge of that area. And it works well.
A must use for any walking advocate
