- Shabby
- Uneven, irregular - should be upgraded - tree roots etc
- Some are not wide enough for prams
- Footpath up and down in Madras St - stones all over the
top of footpath
- Uneven surface
- The surfaces are often rough because the original has not
been cleaned down and levelled before the next surface is
applied
- State of footpath very dangerous - hasn't been touched
for years. Reconstruction been delayed for 12 months
- Was dissatisfied but at the moment it is all being redone
- Thinks least attention from road maintenance, is given to
footpaths
- Contour of footpaths/driveways uneven - interruptions,
unkempt verges
- Hole in footpath directly outside gate (has been there
three years)
- Very uneven
- Grass growing through asphalt
- Pot-holey and unkempt
- Emmett St very bad - tree roots, also grass. Needs
attention - not properly finished since water pipes put
in
- New water pipes in and has never been tar-sealed (over a
year ago)
- Lifted footpaths, and now are forming puddles. Impossible
to walk along without getting wet feet
- Water meters are not level with footpaths. Footpaths are
sinking
- Uneven - bumps, pieces missing, not wide enough
- Old
- Dangerous walking in the newly paved areas in the city -
shoes get caught in the gaps
- Hasn't been fixed up properly after road works
- Doggy doos. Area set up for grass verge but never
planted. The height of trees over-hanging footpaths needs
to be sensible - ie okay if people can easily walk under
them
- The gutters are very bad
- Section outside respondent's home hasn't been upgraded
and it needs doing. Gloucester between Stanmore and
English
- Corner before Waimairi Rd between BP station and
restaurant - many cars pull in and out, and there's no
footpath. Bad for parents with children in prams and on
foot. (She means the entrance to the Bush Inn Centre from
Riccarton Rd)
- Footpaths too high (big gutters)
- Not wide enough, not well maintained
- Uneven, rough and flooded
- Uneven surface
- The original trees planted on the street have roots that
are creating hazards when walking
- The tree roots are ruining the pavement surface
- Some of them have been resealed but they've resealed them
with a very fine stone stuff and it's very slippery
- They could be wider - very narrow round here
- Uneven lows and highs in level
- Lawns have eaten into the asphalt
- Things growing over the footpaths (ground cover)
- The seal - they haven't put any boxing around the
footpaths and the seal keeps breaking away and breaking
away round the edges. They're a major concern around here
- Difficult for pushchair Martbern Crescent 38 to 26 and
also towards 12-4 Martbern Crescent near Cardom St
- Cherry tree on footpath is destroying the asphalt outside
54 Martbern Crescent
- Tree roots cutting up the footpath means I fall out of my
wheelchair Martbern Crescent
- Under-growing vegetation breaking up asphalt also 93
Gardiners Rd requires tarsealing of water meter -
installation damage
- Trees lift seal - elderly trip over with variation in
seal - ground sunk when council installed water metres
- Tree roots in (Cullahill?)
- Footpath needs to be extended in Waimakariri Rd for
children to walk along
- Want some footpaths Harewood Rd / Waimakariri Rd and
Watsons Rd for safety of school children attending
Harewood School near Johns Rd
- Trees lifting footpath
- They have damaged the footpaths by the roots lifting the
paths up
- Roots of trees are making them bumpy
- Glenmore Ave
- Too many tree roots coming up through the ground
- Roots of trees are growing under foot paths and they've
broken them up - you're liable to trip up if you don't
look out
- With a pram it's hard
- The state of its contour - undulating, breaking up, many
patches
- Tree roots growing through and breaking up pavements.
Some were resurfaced less than a year ago and are
starting to break up
- Trees blocking signs ie. Bus stops
- Subsidence of the hot sealing
- Horse droppings
- Arbutus (strawberry trees) leaving a mess on footpath
- Tree roots
- Haven't been renewed for 30 years
- Uneven for someone walking on crutches
- Maintained with no consultation with the people who live
there. Their finishing off is shoddy ie edges - didn't
take enough care with regard to the special conditions of
footpaths on hill. - it was infinitely better when the
footpath maintenance was not put out to contract
- Always seem to be getting dug up for some reason or
another
- Hillside suburbs only seem to have footpaths on one side
of the road the school children need more
- There's a hump directly outside my house which is hard to
cope with when I have sore legs
- Some are too narrow eg. Between 81 and 89 St Andrews Hill
Rd
- They are very narrow and only on one side of the road.
Cars often park on the footpath so I have to walk on a
busy road to get round them
- 28 and 30 Seamount Terrace to Mt Pleasant Rd - there is a
neglected area where the council is denying
responsibility although it is designated for road
widening. There are no footpaths and the over-hanging
hedge makes walking in Seamount Terrace unpleasant and
dangerous and residents have to walk on the road there as
there is no path at all
- I have had to repair footpath potholes and damaged areas
at my own expense after waiting a year after reporting
the need to council
- Paving stones are terrible for women catching shoe heels
in the cracks
- Area by Cave Rock from end of promenade to main road -
the public should not be allowed to park vehicles -
should be a pedestrian area. Good job has been done but
this area looks unfinished. Clifton Hill Rd remain of old
road (Clifton Bay) to the left there are trees growing
through the tarmac - looks untidy
- Too much dog and horse poo
- Unevenness of the footpath when jogging in dark or winter
light - it can be hazardous
- Too narrow
- Camber of footpaths meant footpaths impossible to travel
on with mobility scooter/ tree roots bad also
- Grubby with squashed berries
- They have a law that you're not allowed to tarseal up to
the fence line. This is an old ruling to do with pipe
systems not used now. That rule should be abolished and
paths should go right over to fence line and then the
street would look a lot tidier. These footpaths were laid
in 1952 and haven't been done since. They're not a metre
wide so the footpaths are too narrow - mother and
children can't walk together
- Not finished off at edge (seal not to edge)
- Half of them have disappeared under weeds, some of the
guttering is shocking too
- Some of them are bad - it's not a wealthy suburb and it
doesn't appear to be a priority. More affluent areas are
better serviced
- Pot holey ,up and down. Not wide enough, not well kept
- Too narrow
- Bumps in footpaths for pushchair. Pothole on footpath.
Trip over when walking - then it sinks leaving a pothole
- Very broken, very old and never maintained
- Our street - shingle on footpath from driveway onto
street. Roots on footpaths. The road - have to push your
way through
- All uneven. Forfar street footpaths. Slope is wrong. When
you walk one leg up one leg down on slope towards road -
very uneven
- Lumps and bumps on footpath, Forfar St
- Grass verge growing on footpath. Can't walk two-abreast.
Two houses have shingle on their driveway which slopes
onto footpath spreads onto footpath too. I have written
to the council which we all signed here. Tree roots in
footpath
- Weeds, sunken down where they've dug it up
- Along Hinemoa St the new footpath is not even - you go up
and down in waves
- Lots of potholes
