The Gore District Council decided not to use about 120 planters in its 'Streets Alive' programme, which were destined for the town's median strips. Concrete planters placed on Gore’s streets as part of a roading project have proven controversial – but there could have been a lot more of them on the roads. The planters are part of the Gore District Council’s $1 million Streets Alive project, which has changed some layouts for traffic throughout the town, by adding pocket parks, planters, roundabouts and courtesy crossings. Gore District Council roading asset manager Peter Standring said the planters had been destined to ‘’highlight’’ the town’s median strips, and were going to be placed about every 50 metres along them.
