Save Our Mall
Sign Now
We oppose turning the citys pedestrian heart into three roads. Please do not ignore the wishes of the people and rip the heart out of our inner city by removing its already limited pedestrian area.
To date the people of Christchurch have only been consulted on general plans for the inner-city redevelopment and havent had the opportunity to have our views heard of the specific issue of amending the malls pedestrian status and creating three new roads.
We believe building roads is short sighted. Roads, cars and the pollution they cause are the way of the past, not our sustainable future. We should be extending pedestrian areas, not reducing them.
We are also concerned for keeping our children safe. The proposal to build three new roads cuts our unique inner-city school in half and will be a major safety concern for our students and young people.
We are aware that the current Mayor as well as current Councillors Barry Corbett, David Cox, Carole Evans, Bob Parker, Bob Shearing and Gail Sheriff all supported the move to build three new roads through City Mall.
We would like it to be known that we intend to vote for candidates in the upcoming local body elections who want to save our mall.
We urge the Christchurch City Council to keep City Mall as a pedestrian area and oppose constructing three roads through our citys heart.

I would personally visit the City Mall area much less if the roads become more open to vehicles. It would also become less child-friendly.

The feel and open nature of the mall will be cut off if roads are put through it. It will literally divide the mall into two. In fact it will cease to be a mall and will become a main trunk shopping street like Queen Street or Lambton Quay. Yes, the shops

The Mall is a people place. I WILL NOT fight with cars to shop in the city... therefore bus./$ will be lost in our city. As the say "Sales walking out the Mall!"

Lowering the parking fees in the centre will be more helpful to attract more people than putting cars through the mall. Isn't that what makes malls so popular - free parking and a people only space. Since I work close by I visit the mall regularly and I f

Most forward looking cities in the world are trying to bring pedestrians back to the city. The mall is well used and reverting back to a roadway would seem to me to be a waste of money.

Any service lanes should be one-way and closed during most of the day. No slow roads, roads open to general traffic, or roads open all day should be allowed.
