The Story of Bridge St Linear Park / Whakatū / Nelson

CLIENT. Nelson City Council / ROLE. Strategic Design / TIMEFRAME. 2022 / STATUS. Complete

Running west-east through Trafalgar Street, Bridge Street is one of three streets in the city centre where most pedestrian activity and public life occurs. It is a key conduit connecting Anzac Park and Queens Gardens, two of the city centre’s most prominent green spaces, and home-to-be for up to 175 new social and affordable homes.

A survey of public life in 2019/2020, reflected the importance of Bridge St in the network of streets/ public spaces in the city centre, resulting in Bridge Street being reimagined as a Linear Park - a place for community and cultural well-being, economic activity and ecological biodiversity.
