City Barriers
- Architectural Centre Inc
- Timber posts with nautical rope strung between them are being proposed for segments of the Manners Mall in Wellington, in an effort to stop people crossing the road ‘illegally’. 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.

The new Manners Street: speed is needed if you want to object
- Wellington Scoop
- The Wellington City Council has issued a densely-packed document of 27 pages which describes changes to traffic flows and parking which are to be made in preparation for Manners Street becoming two bus lanes. The council invites everyone to study the 27 pages and send “submissions”. But this isn’t a consultation process. The council is seeking only “objections” and the “objection period” closes at the end of next week.
