The proposal is by a WCC Councilor, Leonie Gill, who appears shocked and horrified that Wellingtonians have such a care-free attitude to crossing the road. manners-mall-bus-lane transport wcc bus-lanes government architecture communitygroups Mon, 16 Jan 2012 00:00:00 GMT http://architecture.org.nz/2012/01/17/city-barriers/ Architectural Centre Inc 2012-01-16T00:00:00Z http://architecture.org.nz/2010/09/06/lanes/ As the streets and traffic lanes are changed to make way for the new bus route along Manners Street, footpaths are blocked, familiar traffic islands have disappeared and pedestrians are forced to reconsider how they navigate the city. manners-mall-bus-lane bus-lanes transport architecture communitygroups Mon, 06 Sep 2010 00:00:00 GMT http://architecture.org.nz/2010/09/06/lanes/ Architectural Centre Inc 2010-09-06T00:00:00Z http://architecture.org.nz/2010/08/16/just-manners/ Just as Manners Street is being ripped up (with the sort of silliness which means that the sunny side of the street will have the smallest width of footpath) it’s perhaps timely to have a think about the role the road has played in Wellington’s history.

New pedestrian calming measures have been introduced into the centre of the mall which also perform more than adequately as holding pens for paving contractors looking to gather up pavers from beneath the pedestrians feet and redistribute them to a place more deserving. manners-mall-bus-lane bus-lanes transport architecture communitygroups Fri, 09 Jul 2010 00:00:00 GMT http://architecture.org.nz/2010/07/09/good-manners-just-mind-your-step/ Architectural Centre Inc 2010-07-09T00:00:00Z http://eyeofthefish.org/mind-your-manners/ Well, Well, Welly. Wellington City Council weren’t joking when they said they were going to start work on the Manners Mall bus route. Notice in the paper one day, ripping up those horrid concrete bricks (not one of the design team’s best choices it would seem) the next day.

As you may note from the written and drawn information, we were very much less than impressed. 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. Wellington deserves better than this from our Council, especially at such an important, central city site. manners-mall-bus-lane bus-lanes transport architecture communitygroups Wed, 19 May 2010 00:00:00 GMT http://architecture.org.nz/2010/05/19/manners-mall-submission/ Architectural Centre Inc 2010-05-19T00:00:00Z http://architecture.org.nz/2010/04/20/agm-tonight/ Arch Centre AGM is tonight - Tuesday 20 April 2010.

If you have read the Dominion Post article, you will also not know the full story.
