Trial Gardens Narrow Street and Frustrate Residents. (Palmerston North)
Raised gardens designed to slow down traffic are causing issues for residents now struggling to find parking along a newly narrowed street.
Palmerston North City Council built four trial gardens along Ruha St near He Ara Kotahi last week in a bid to slow traffic as part of the Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency Innovating Streets programme.

Hamilton's 'Innovating' Street an 'Embarrassment' (Hamilton)
A top developer who transformed parts of Hamilton into showpiece buildings has slammed a city street redesign as “an embarrassment”.
Business owners who’ve lost car parks outside their premises agree, saying the design has gone too far yet a project leader at the city council says you can’t improve the street and the environment without change.

Road Adornments Labelled 'Childish' and 'Dangerous' by Locals (Nelson)
A council’s aim to make streets safer and more liveable has been labelled as “dangerous” and “childish” by some locals.
Tipahi St in Nelson’s south is part of the Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency Streets for People project, seeing bright artwork on the road, picnic tables, speed humps, increased signage and thin tubular bollards used as an initiative to improve safety.
But some locals say the recent additions are an eyesore and do more harm than good.
