Wgtn Car Ban Talk
- 28 May 2010
- Auckland Trains
- Wellington Mayor Kerry Prendergast today called for private cars to be banned from the Golden Mile within 10 to 20 years, following planned developments such as opening Manners Mall to buses, overhauling roads near the Basin Reserve and building a second Mt Victoria Tunnel And the Greens say they support the proposal to make the Golden Mile car free with only public transport, but said Wellington should give priority to light rail and pedestrian space in the Golden Mile now, not in 10 to 20 years.

Almost Over PT!
- 28 May 2010
- Auckland Trains
- As often stated here, public transport only wins hearts when it is reliable. We can’t expect a perfect 100% run – road works and accidents hold up buses, rail is prone to breakdown and operational issues. But I have struck it bad this week and it’s highlighted to me how important it is to bring forward as a priority the plans for realtime information for train stations.

BNU Masters 3 v Western Subusrb - 15 May 2010 at Ngatitoa

And so it was, even though Wests are the only team below us on the table - their defence was much better organised, their keeper was in that position by choice, and one midfielder in particular caused us a lot of trouble in the second half.

We are calling for the WCC to scrap the current scheme owing to its predominate use of car parking, and to re-design the spaces for the use of people, not cars.
