Broken parking meter
This parking meter in Worcester Boulevard has obviously been vandalised. When I walked past just before 10am this morning there were several dollar coins on the footpath and in the metal box. I was surprised no-one had picked them up and I guess it goes to show how little foot traffic there is in that area.
I met a friend for morning tea (no need for social distancing now!) at Miro. The ambience and outlook there is lovely, but we were disappointed no cabinet food was offered. I had chips, but these were not as good as the ones I had at Ballantynes three weeks ago, and I ate less than half of them.
North Frame Pedestrian Bridge
On the way home I passed the new North Frame Pedestrian Bridge currently under construction. Unfortunately the art bridge which was originally intended got cancelled, and the replacement will be pedestrian in more than one sense. It will be completed in early 2021. Personally I can’t see any need to have an extra bridge between Colombo and Manchester Streets. What do you think?
The meter has been pulled apart.
The bridge can hardly be called art.
Ruth's Reflections 
level 1 in Wellington has us looking quite a lot like normal. Increased traffic but still sensitivity around social distancing. The WCC was going to put a ‘short term’ cycle lane on a couple of busy streets and roads but had backed off partly because of L1 but also to mixed reactions from the public.

We’ve been out again today, and at The Palms they were busy removing all the social distancing signs.

I’ve learned that what I saw is a temporary bridge close to where the final bridge will sit. It’s being used as walking platform to help the crew access the sites on both sides of the river during construction.
