On the right path

Mother of three Ana Almanza says one of the major reasons her family moved from Argentina to settle in Cambridge was the opportunity to walk and cycle safely.

She and her three children Lourdes, 7, Clara, 5, and Mateo, seven months were spotted trying out the new upper Duke Street section of the Cambridge Pathway last week.

“It’s so convenient for us and the connections around the town are good,” she said.

Most of the cones around the pathway were removed last week and finishing touches applied by Waipā contractors in Bryce, Alpha and Dick streets in time for the new school term.
