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
