Bus shelter for Morris Rd
In his chairman’s report, Paul Weir reported progress on a wooden bus shelter for Morris Rd, by Chain Hills Rd.
After a meeting on site with transport implementation lead Julian Phillips, a location for the shelter had been chosen.
The bus shelter would likely be wooden and it was hoped bike stands would be attached to the back of it so people such as children biking from Chain Hills Rd could secure their bicycles before using the bus.
"So where we are heading now is looking at sourcing funding. So once again, we are chasing up Julian and seeing how he is going with that," Mr Weir said.
Water fountain funds found
A water fountain for Fairfield skatepark will be able to be installed thanks to the board and council.
At its April meeting, the Saddle Hill Community Board approved funds of $1940 towards installation of a water fountain at Fairplay St Reserve.
Chairman Paul Weir confirmed the Dunedin City Council would provide the remainder of the funds via the property services budget.
It will be similar to an orange and steel water fountain that was installed several years ago near the Faculty of Dentistry.
