Cycleway route plans opposed by school BY GABRIELLE STUART
The first of the $68 million city council major cycleway routes could be delayed due to conflict over a Riccarton road. Work is due to begin this summer on the uni-cycle route, which would run from Canterbury University to the central city. Christchurch Girls’ High School has opposed the route, because it would restrict their plans to expand on Matai St. The school board has asked for a six to eight week delay on the decision, to allow the school to release its long-term master plan. That could involve closing part of Matai St, where the cycle route would run, in order to rebuild and expand earthquake-damaged school buildings.
The Ministry of Education has supported the school board’s request for a delay. A city council staff member who spoke at the community board meeting said that the school could raise objections with the city council, but that would have to be done in a separate process. Board of trustees chairman Mike Lay said that it could be expensive for both the school and the city council if the plans had to be changed in the future. He said that he did not want to interfere with the cycleway development, which he said would be a great thing for the school. He said that the board wanted to make sure that it did not compromise potential development at the school. •Turn to page 2

PREMIUM BREAD (700g Varieties) WALKIE TALKIE: Maya Halford, 12, from Casebrook was treated to a behindthe-scenes tour of the Christchurch Central Police Station by Senior Sergeant John Robinson for winning a police colouring in competition. She was allowed to take along three of her friends. Senior Sergeant John Robinson said her colouring in was better than what most of the cops at the station could do. “I bet they wouldn’t be able to keep between the lines,” he said. PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN
