The Living Streets Aotearoa Walking Awards
A highly motivated and determined community worked alongside two councils to create a safe, 4.5km walking and cycling link between Horsham Downs Village and Hamilton.
This walking and cycling route links Horsham Downs and Resolution Drive initially by a 1.4km footpath alongside the road and then by an off road walking and cycling route through a future roading reserve which HCC has granted a License to Occupy.
The Warren Cole Walk and Cycleway is a new 2.1 km long, all weather
accessway along the Whakatane River stop bank. It runs from the
Whakatane River Bridge to the Whakatane Gardens and Amphitheatre. It is a
part of the Council’s overall Whakatane River Greenways Project which
stretches for 5km from the Whakatane River mouth to the SH2 Whakatane
River Bridge. |
The ‘GRX Mount Challenge’ is an 8 week series for participants to reach the summit of ‘Mauao’ Mt Maunganui. Participants meet twice weekly and the intensity of the sessions is increased over the period to progress from walking around the base to succeeding with the climb to the top.
Wellington cyclists are cleaning up their act with a courtesy campaign aimed at reducing conflict with walkers and curbing bad biking behaviour on the waterfront. The campaign includes a printed courtesy code, events, a video, news releases, bell giveaways and a grand prize of a cruise to Kapiti island.
