Thanks to all who joined our first webinar this morning, it was great to e-host more than 50 people. During the first part Dr. Glen Koorey discussed the several benefits of speed management, and some tactics for implementing this in your district. After that we enjoyed your engagement.

Dates for the first tranche of urban street design workshops in 2021 have been confirmed for March-April in Christchurch, Auckland and Wellington. Developed in collaboration with Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency, expert practitioners from Abley, MRCagney and Viastrada will introduce best practice and guidance on multi-modal urban streets design. Knowledge and experience will be shared via presentations and group discussions, and design exercises in groups give you the opportunity to apply the knowledge to practical situations.

Despite all the challenges, we have worked on fantastic assignments. Thank you to everyone who trusted us with their projects. We don’t take anything for granted and appreciate the opportunities.
