Watch Your Manners Buses
- Auckland Trains
- Ouch. Already 2 people have been injured after being hit by buses in Wellington’s new Manners St bus lanes in separate incidents. The bus lanes were open only on Sunday and people have obviously not got used to watching out for buses in what used to be a pedestrian-only area. Story is here

Willis Street complete? Not, actually
- Wellington Scoop
- "Willis Street complete" is one of the headlines in the Wellington City Council’s effusive display advertisement in the DomPost today. But the headline isn’t accurate. Only part of the job has been completed. Though it’s true that “the paving is complete” on this part of the new bus route, the council doesn’t mention that another stage of the project is yet to begin – on Thursday, linesmen will start the complicated task of rearranging the network of overhead wires for trolley buses.

The misery of Manners Street, and Willis Street, and Taranaki Street
- Wellington Scoop
- There were lots of men at work in the disintegrating Manners Mall this afternoon. But after Matt Calman’s exposé in the DomPost, I didn’t see any of them asleep on the job. I did notice, however, that some of the workers were saving the bricks which had been ripped up from the pedestrian mall – perhaps they’ll be used again when councilors next change their minds about Manners Street.

Mind your Manners
- Eye of the Fish
- Well, Well, Welly. Wellington City Council weren’t joking when they said they were going to start work on the Manners Mall bus route. Notice in the paper one day, ripping up those horrid concrete bricks (not one of the design team’s best choices it would seem) the next day. One of our regular readers sent this pic in as they started work:

The new Manners Street: speed is needed if you want to object
- Wellington Scoop
- The Wellington City Council has issued a densely-packed document of 27 pages which describes changes to traffic flows and parking which are to be made in preparation for Manners Street becoming two bus lanes. The council invites everyone to study the 27 pages and send “submissions”. But this isn’t a consultation process. The council is seeking only “objections” and the “objection period” closes at the end of next week.

Call for a New York Look To Wellington
- Auckland Trains
- The full redesign of Wellington’s lower Cuba Street is now impossible to implement before the Rugby World Cup, according to Wellington’s mayor who says this is because of a delay in legal issues. The deal for allowing buses to be rerouted through Manners Mall to improve public transport was that there would be better public space in lower Cuba Street. Today, Cr Celia Wade-Brown urges council staff to investigate temporary improvements so shared space can be initiated as soon as the bus route moves.
