Several recent mentions of GHW:

Enough procrastination, let's get on with it.

Belmont cyclist Janie Cook reckons there has been ample talk and a small mountain of reports on a proper cycleway between Wellington and the Hutt Valley. It's time for action, she says, and a public Fixing the Gap workshop this Sunday is a chance for people to have their say.

The Great Harbour Way - fix the gaps! Details of workshop 2-4pm Sunday 12 October

Hard on the heels of a backdown and rethink on its regional walking plan because of local authority and walking activist criticism, Greater Wellington Regional Council has released a lightweight regional cycling plan for public comment.

There's now a Facebook group for the Great Harbour Way

Cycle lanes might be built into Wellington bus lanes to make streets safer for the growing number of people taking to two wheels to get around.

I have implemented the Discussion Forum in the new web site. This Forum will be open to anyone who has an account in the system: CAN Members and Friends of CAN.

To have access to the forum, click on "Forum" on the menu, or follow this link:

http://cms.can.org.nz/forum

The Forum is organized in three areas:

General
Technical
Legal

I have a request for each one of you CAN Exec and Staff member and other early adopters. Before Sunday, would you please create a forum topic - something you are interested in, or just something fun, for example, "Where would you like to ride to after the CANdo?" or "Does the Government Policy Statement supports the targets of the New Zealand Transport Strategy?"

The website will launch August 30th. It would be good to have some traffic in each area to encourage further discussion. Would you please use the Forum instead of using CAN Exec or other groups to discuss issues that are of interest to the public.

Also, please help me evaluate the Forum. If you have any suggestions, I would be glad to incorporate.

Thank you,

Andre
