Taking a break...

FixMyStreet is going offline shortly, probably permanently. The software is old and needs a complete rewrite, the site is being bombarded by spammers, and it is debatable whether councils are receiving and/or acting on FixMyStreet reports.

As of now, it is not possible to post new issues, or updates to published issues.

If you have submitted on FixMyStreet, thank you for playing a part in one of Aotearoa/New Zealand's early civic tech projects.

Roadworks sign dangerous for pedestrians

Downers have place a roadworks sign right in the middle of the pedestrian crossing on the eastern side of the Manchester St / Hereford St intersection. They have even “thoughtfully” placed it in a direct line with the tactile paving, so all sight-impaired pedestrians are directed right into it! Why not move it 2m to the east or 3m to the west, where it will be out of the way of pedestrians (& cyclists, since this is a shared path), won’t interfere with motorists and will still be visible to all?
