What they’re saying about the flyover (including Fran’s refusal to mention it)
- Wellington Scoop
- The Transport Agency’s stubborn decision to build a concrete bridge on the northern side of the Basin Reserve has brought a mass of criticism from Wellingtonians. Among the few expressions of support, a statement from Regional Council chair Fran Wilde in which she praises the proposal without mentioning the flyover.

Is it time to dust off Wellington’s 2004 Gehl Report?
- Wellington Region Cycleways
- Is it time to dust off for a reread the Danish firm, Gehl Architects’ 2004 Report for Wellington’s City to Waterfront Study? The NZTA are often accused of sham public consultations and then doing whatever they want, and that may well be the case for what they are now calling The Tunnel to Tunnel Inner City Transport Improvements.

Memorial Park
- Architectural Centre Inc
- The Prime Minister has announced today that the Memorial Park is to be a Park, and not a motorway. Hooray for common sense, good taste, sensible planning, appropriate responses, and joined up thinking. There has evidently been a fair bit of quiet contemplative thought going on with this proposal, and what seems to have been happening is some good cross-party agreements, that what is best for New Zealand is to have a Memorial Park worthy of its name. No one liked the proposal of a motorway through the park, which is what a five lane highway at ground level would have been – and so good sense has prevailed.
