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.

The council encourages whisky-drinking while it says it wants to ban liquor

Having created the happy, over-the-top mayhem that is Courtenay Place every weekend, it’s now trying to calm things down with a ban on liquor in any public place. It already has a liquor ban in the central city, as is evidenced by its over-sized signs on lampposts. But now it wants to extend the ban into the suburbs as well.

- Save the Basin Reserve!
- Rumours are flying that the NZ Transport Agency will begin consultation on the options for the Basin Reserve on Monday 22 February, and that five options will be presented - three involve building an unnecessary flyover, and two are "at grade", i.e. ground level without a flyover.

Normally a property development isn’t pitched as a ‘product’, but in this case the cue comes straight from the developers themselves.
