"When you are photographing in Karori, there are some unique occupational hazards! New phone and I'm shooting a time-lapse of Tui in flight. I look out the window, and my new phone is being investigated, tugged and being put through the ruggedness test by this young Kaka!
Kaka are so intelligent, and much more gentle than their South Island cousins, the Kea. It's always more investigation than sheer vandalism and mischief! It's such a joy and privilege to have them around."

Safe footpaths for pedestrians

Ellen from Mount Victoria

Do you like to walk? Most people do, it is our most popular recreation in New Zealand and the most climate-friendly healthy way to get around every day.

Most people do, it is our most popular recreation in New Zealand and the most climate-friendly healthy way to get around every day. Do you think footpaths should be safe for pedestrians to have a nice pleasant walk wherever they want to go? It's time to take action to take back footpaths from escooters.

Sign this petition from the Disabled Persons Assembly for safe footpaths.
our.actionstation.org.nz...

New Zealand escooter use is one of the least regulated in the world, it means that pedestrians often feel unsafe out walking as escooters whizz past and frequently have to navigate around escooters all over the footpath. For some people this is not a big deal, for others it means they can not get out and do what they need to. I have been stuck at home with escooters blocking my gate on several occasions. It's ok, I can climb over the fence and drag them away. A friend said today he has been poked in the eye by hard-to-see escooter handles at night - he is in a wheelchair. Our MP Ibrahim Omer has been knocked off his feet by an escooter rider. There are many similar stories. Not everyone can walk around or move a heavy escooter.

Waka Kotahi the NZ Transport Agency has a survey about escooter regulation. Take the survey and say no to renewing the Gazette notice that allows escooters to use footpaths. There are many better options to regulate escooters to use the road and cycle lanes. Treat escooters like ebikes.

First of all, a big thank you for your support to remove e-scooters off footpaths. It’s been great – but, we have more to do…
We are coming back to you all again for additional support about the New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) | Waka Kotahi’s engagement and whether E-Scooters should be considered a motor vehicle or not. We need you to support our joint petition to remove E-Scooters off footpaths as follows…
Disabled Persons Assembly (DPA), Blind Citizens NZ, and Living Streets Aotearoa are collaborating - we’re calling on NZTA | Waka Kotahi to not renew the declaration that says E-Scooters are not motor vehicles. We believe E-Scooters are motor vehicles – they travel at speed, they injure people and we need to get these dangerous vehicles off our footpaths.

Signing the petition will demonstrate your support and help create safer streets for everyone! It will keep footpaths for pedestrians which includes mobility device users (i.e. wheel chair and mobility scooter users).

Our call to action urges you to support our efforts and to please sign our petition by taking the following link

Please share this opportunity as widely as possible including encouraging family-whānau to support our efforts.
