In reply to LennyBoy. Ah, that is good to know. Thanks. I plan to reference these in my oral submission regarding the DEMP (in case you were wondering how I keep digging up these year-old posts), namely the proposition that separated facilities should be preferred for arterial roads and be considered for collector roads. Random side remark: I love the fact that Cycling network guidance displays a picture from Christchurch as its header. Very appropriate.

In reply to Jan Jakob. Part A *is* the 2013 Design Guidelines (i.e. the conceptual designs). Part B developed the details based on this, although these days the NZTA Cycling Network Guidance is also becoming the national standard.

Are the Christchurch Strategic Transport Plan 2012 and the Christchurch Cycle Design Guidelines 2013 still good policy? I know the Christchurch Cycle Design Guidelines Part B: Revision B refers to a Part A, but I can't find that one.

Can we have a system to collect lots of quick win ideas? Why not add a web page, with links to a Chch map, for cyclists to add in our quick win ideas. I’ve sent a couple in CCC but I’d prefer to allow discussion about different ideas.

In reply to Shane G. Well, the Christchurch City Council should be driving this initiative. As is pointed out above, it gets the masses riding, which I believe is one of CCC's objectives. Imagine if we had a mayor who declared "I will make this happen"...

Great idea Joy, we looked into doing this a couple of years ago ……. you would not believe how much paperwork and expence is attached in doing something so simple. I have seen them for myself in other countries and they seemed very simple to organise and everyone enjoyed them.
The NZ paperwork nightmare was enough to convince me I had better things to do! …… shame really.

How about what Bogota does but on a smaller scale – maybe only over summer or monthly: “Ciclovia happens once a week in Bogota, every Sunday between 7am and 2pm. 120km of roads are shut to cars and opened up to cyclists, walkers and people to enjoy. It’s fun, with around 30% of locals, or 2 million people, taking part.”
