Feedback is also being sought on cash free buses and the redevelopment of Waterloo Station into a transport hub with commercial and community spaces. Greater Wellington chair Daran Ponter says the plan proposes affordable investments that improve the passenger experience and encourage people away from using private vehicles. consultation bus-lanes transport government regional-council Thu, 27 Feb 2025 00:00:00 GMT https://www.gw.govt.nz/your-region/news/bus-corridors-paying-for-park-and-ride-and-pets-on-public-transport-up-for-consultation-in-wellington-plan/ Greater Wellington Regional Council 2025-02-27T00:00:00Z http://architecture.org.nz/2012/01/17/city-barriers/ 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. 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://cyclingwellington.co.nz/2011/09/buses-only-really/ Most of us know that bus lanes in NZ are fair game for “cycles”. cycling bus-lanes sport transport Mon, 26 Sep 2011 00:00:00 GMT http://cyclingwellington.co.nz/2011/09/buses-only-really/ Cycling in Wellington 2011-09-26T00:00:00Z http://cyclingwellington.co.nz/2011/09/bus-lanes-%e2%80%93-buses-love-%e2%80%98em-but-they-could-be-better-for-bikes/ Wellington City Council are currently consulting on their bus priority plan. bus-lanes transport cycling sport Wed, 31 Aug 2011 00:00:00 GMT http://cyclingwellington.co.nz/2011/09/bus-lanes-%e2%80%93-buses-love-%e2%80%98em-but-they-could-be-better-for-bikes/ Cycling in Wellington 2011-08-31T00:00:00Z http://cyclingwellington.co.nz/2011/08/wcc-consultation-on-courtenaykentcambridge-bus-lanes-proposal/ Wellington City Council would like your views on a proposed traffic resolution to extend the city’s network of bus lanes along Courtenay Place, Kent and Cambridge terraces and Adelaide Road.
