Benefits of a footbridge

The main benefits of a footbridge are:

• pedestrian and cyclist safety for our local residents and visitors to Lake Tekapo;
• providing a safe vantage point for people to view and photograph the Church, lake and mountains;
• restoring the "sanctity" to the Church through foot approach instead of a bus;
• reducing parking requirements in front of the Church;
• encouraging people to experience the natural environment of Lake Tekapo by walking instead of driving to the Church; and
• linking the new Regional Park with other walkways around Lake Tekapo
