					<description><![CDATA[It is good to see that work on the cycleway is progressing well.
Sheldon St is not yet open, Clarendon Terrace is open again after major work on the intersection that has closed the road for the last couple of months.
The new intersection looks very nice, decorative pavers covering the area.

It is very disappointing to see that the planners/engineers have not  taken into account the proximity to the river- after a few hours steady rain the (new) intersection is flooded! You could not walk along Clarendon Terrace and cross Sheldon St without wading through water.

It would appear that the road level has been lowered- this area is now under water, before this intersection was &#039;improved&#039; it did not do this. The river backs up through the stormwater  drains, it is no where near coming over the river banks.This happens regularly with high tides so will be an on going problem, as the Council seems unwilling to take effective measures to prevent surface flooding resulting from tides.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I&#039;m unreasonably excited by this.  I&#039;ve moved to Lyttelton in the last year, and to be able to bike all the way to University on bike friendly paths makes it all that much easier.   Since you can&#039;t ride through the tunnel (yet) there will be a choice to drive through to Truscott&#039;s Rd and park, or take the bus and cut through the school down Station Rd.  I&#039;m thinking that will be relatively popular with other residents on the other side of the hill.]]></description>
