It’s not just about transport. It’s about our city and the quality of our environment
- Wellington Scoop
- However you describe it, the 380-metre-long structure that the Transport Agency wants to build from Tory Street to the Mount Victoria Tunnel would change the Wellington cityscape forever, and not for the better. We’ve been wrong to describe it as a flyover. It’s much bigger than that. And the Transport Agency is wrong to describe it as a bridge. In reality it would be an elevated highway – which is an approach to road design from the early 20th Century that’s out of favour in most places.

Below the line – shopping day
- Hutt Chick
- Shopping all done, and even have $2.15 left to spend! First stop was the riverbank market to get my fruit and vege. Rachel suggested I get a cabbage to make cabbage soup. After all, that was what Charlie’s family ate, from Charlie and the chocolate factory. And apparently the thing that goes best with cabbage soup is a cabbage. Other bargains were some apples and potatoes that had blemishes, and pumpkin which is in abundance at this time of year.

Frocks on Bikes: Be seen in style!
- Cycling in Wellington
- Dear Frockstars As the Welly weather gets (gradually) better we’re more keen to get out and about on two wheels, rocking our styley scarves, coats, boots and gloves. Alas, it’s still dark enough in the mornings and evenings that we’re pretty damn hard to see on the roads – and Wellington’s drivers drive as if we’re not there even in broad daylight! But high-visibility gear? [eye roll] Do we have to?! Lucky for you, Frocks has the answer: Be Seen In Style!

DCM Bulletin - Demand for Food and Services
- Downtown Community Ministry
- With demand for foodbank services increasing, Downtown Community Ministry (DCM) supports those in need to address the underlying issues behind their need for assistance. In the first 6 months of this year compared with the same period in 2010, demand for food parcels has increased by 27%. The number of actual parcels being given out increased from 1337 to 1703. “Sometimes people come to the foodbank once, just to help them through a tricky week or two. But, the trend is that people need more assistance for longer, which shows how tough things are out there,” says David Manuel, Community Worker at DCM.

Bus drivers, cyclists swap points of view

He’s usually the one driving the bus, but in a road-awareness workshop in Kilbirnie he got to swap the safety of his driver’s seat for a cycle saddle. “I am used to having my rear vision mirrors,” he says. “Not being able to see cars until they were right behind me was intimidating.”

Basin flyover: another week of opposition

- It’s hard to find anyone who likes the NZ Transport Agency’s plans for a 380-metre-long flyover alongside the Basin Reserve. Starting at the Mt Victoria Tunnel, the structure would carry two lanes of vehicles above Ellice Street and Kent and Cambridge Terraces and discharge them at the Tory Street traffic lights. The flyover would be a dismal eyesore across the cityscape.
