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.
Neighbours Day Aotearoa is something for ALL New Zealanders to be involved in.

Please find attached a generic poster.
Just place in the white space your sponsors and Ziera.

This workshop is designed to bring together key local and international researchers, with policy analysts in local and central government, NGOs and members of the public, to consider the evidence for co-benefits of active journeys -- particularly benefits for population health, climate change, and quality of life -- and how this evidence can be strengthened and acted upon effectively.
The Greening the Rubble project, will be run under the umbrella of Living Streets Aotearoa with grant support from Christchurch City Council. It forms part of a wider initiative to find temporary uses for empty sites across Christchurch, following the damage caused by the Canterbury earthquake on 4 September 2010; collectively known as Make-SHIFT.
Living Streets Aotearoa is the New Zealand organisation for people on foot, promoting walking-friendly communities. We are a nationwide organisation with local branches and affiliates throughout New Zealand.
We want more people walking and enjoying public spaces be they young or old, fast or slow, whether walking, sitting, commuting, shopping, between appointments, or out on the streets for exercise, for leisure or for pleasure.
