Wellington Cycling Framework: progress or procrastination?
- Cycling in Wellington
- On 21 April, a rally of over 350 people who cycle demanded that WCC “get on with it” and start building cycling infrastructure. On 30 April, Council will debate the Wellington Cycling Framework, the “master plan” for developing cycling in Wellington. Is this the start of the progress that the rally demanded, or is it another exercise in procrastination?

Result: Shaw Baton Relay
- Olympic Harriers
- Conditions were pretty good for the running of the 2015 Shaw Baton Relays being somewhat cloudy overhead with a bit of a northerly breeze. The course had to be altered somewhat due to trimming of pine trees not far from the start of the leg. This meant that times were faster than in previous years, which gives encouragement to those of us who are getting a bit older. There was good support for the event this year with 548 individual results in the relays (this will include some people running twice).

When Road Cycling is Illegal
- Sustainable Wellington Transport
- Following my recent post on fixing cyclist infrastructure, I received a reply that questioned the rationale of pushing cyclists into pedestrian space: @sustwelltrans Lets make roads that work for all vehicles - Arras underpass should have bikes ok - leave #footpaths for #pedetrians — Ellen Blake (@Windynell) April 05, 2015 Since I didn’t know how or why cyclist restrictions happen, I emailed WCC to ask. Cyclists can use all roads except for motorways, lanes reserved for Buses Only, pedestrian malls, and some tunnels. Cyclists are banned from these places due to safety concerns which derive from conflicts very high volumes of other users who have been formally given exclusive priority. Cyclists may use all normal Bus Lanes, but not Bus Only lanes. Motorways in Wellington City area are: State Highway 1 from the Karo/Willis intersection to Ngauranga State Highway 1 from Johnsonville to Porirua Bus Only lanes are: Throndon Quay southbound centre lane into Lambton Interchange Lambton Quay from Bunny St to Whitmore St (Lambton Interchange site) Lambton Quay southbound from Brandon St to Featherston St Hunter St-Customhouse Quay-Willis St southbound from Featherston St to Manners St Manners St from Willis St to Cuba St both directions Pedestrian Malls are: Cuba St from Ghuznee St to Manners St Tunnels where cyclists are banned are: Arras Tunnel (State Highway 1) Mt Victoria Tunnel road lanes (State Highway 1) Hataitai Bus Tunnel. I’m sure that there are plenty of points that could be contested within that list, but I’ll only touch on a couple. For the road tunnels, the conditions of the road are identical to normal urban roads, with the exception of ventilation and lighting. It’s not clear how or why the Arras and Mt Victoria tunnels would create an actual safety risk beyond that of normal urban cycling. If there is some exceptional risk, wouldn’t it be better to educate the motorists that cause the risk? The decisions are the responsibility of the appropriate Road Controlling Authority. For all urban roads Wellington City Council is the RCA, for the entire state highway network it is the New Zealand Transport Agency. The timing of decisions result from safety and management reviews on an as required basis. Both tunnels are part of SH1 and fall under NZTA’s authority. I’ve just sent an OIA request for justification of the exclusion. They have until May 15 to respond.

Result: Maiden and Perston
- Olympic Harriers
- The weather was its normal magnificent self for the Maiden and Perston races, bright sunshine and barely a breath of wind. The underfoot conditions were a bit softer than usual and the greasy conditions down the bank prompted a course change for the under 10 race.

Jimmy Grbich Dinner - A Celebration of Rongotai Rugby
- Oriental Rongotai Football Club
- This year’s dinner is being held in association with The Rongotai College Old Boys Association and hosted by ourselves and our good friends at Poneke. For many of us, Rongotai College has provided a pathway from junior to senior rugby, and now 'The Next Generation' are experiencing the camaraderie and enjoyment of Rongotai Rugby. Whether it was turning out for the 5B's, u55kg or the 1st XV everyone has made a significant contribution to the values and culture that is Rongotai Rugby. Many stories to tell, not of ones own exploits on the field but of others who have worn the #GoldenFleece of the 'Coutts St Academy'. We do not tell our own stories but take great pride and enjoyment of telling stories of 'others' on field courage and brilliance.

Reflections from week one of The Mystery of Edwin Drood
- Circa Theatre
- Drood, Glorious Drood! This week on *drama on the waterfront, we hear reflections from week one of The Mystery of Edwin Drood Just over a week ago The Mystery of Edwin Drood thundered out of the gate at Circa, with a bold and boisterous opening night event that served up a feast of madness, mystery, murder and music to the more than 200 people who joined the cast and crew to send Drood off to the races in style. Fabulous....Brilliant...Awesome...Amazing...You should see it more than once!By now, nearly 1500 of you have been welcomed to the Music Hall Royale to meet the incredible suspects, watch for clues and red herrings and decide for yourselves who the Dickens did the deed! Highly recommended that all lovers of Dickens go see this show. It’s been wonderfully exciting to see the different possible endings emerge (with some hilariously improbable pairings already proving popular! Most of all, it’s been humbling and gratifying to hear how much fun you’re all having Stunning in every way and rollicking good fun!Phew! As those of you who’ve seen it will know, The Mystery of Edwin Drood is a massive and spectacular undertaking, needing truckloads of energy, wit, speed, passion…..and people to share it with! We’re still firing on all cylinders and there are heaps of endings still to be seen, so it’s just as well we’ve got another three weeks to bring you a larger-than-life experience at The Mystery of Edwin Drood. Everyone should go and see this as quickly as they can; it is HILARIOUS!All photos taken by Tabitha Arthur, with quotes from the audience of this season of The Mystery of Edwin Drood.
