Apparently this started in late October, and as I walked by today the road was just about ready for sealing. The new NZTA website doesn’t seem to offer any drawings or maps of this, so for those who haven’t had the chance to see it, I took these pictures a couple of weeks ago to give you an impression of the route. bypass transport architecture blogs Thu, 13 Dec 2012 00:00:00 GMT http://eyeofthefish.org/motorway-patrol/ Eye of the Fish 2012-12-13T00:00:00Z -41.2985159558661 174.777561700332 Buckle Street, Te Aro, Wellington, Wellington Region, 6011, Aotearoa New Zealand http://eyeofthefish.org/nothing-ever-happens-but-it-could-be-right-now/ Just what is happening with the roads and tunnels in Wellington?

Surely it wouldn't be long before they were snapped up? But no: Karo Drive and Tonks Grove are going to look like toytown for quite some time to come.It turns out that under the Public Works Act, Transit has to look for the original owners or their descendants, and then offer the properties to them at market prices. architecture bypass transport blogs Sun, 10 Jun 2007 00:00:00 GMT http://wellurban.blogspot.com/2007/06/toytown.html WellUrban 2007-06-10T00:00:00Z http://wellurban.blogspot.com/2007/04/in-memoriam.html I can finally mention what I've known about unofficially for a while: it's been publicly announced that New Zealand Memorial Park will be built in front of the old Museum on Buckle St. It's not quite what I originally speculated about when demolition of the service station first started, since it will be where Buckle St is now rather than on the north side of it, and there's an additional nice touch in that the "Greening the Quays" project will be extended up Taranaki St to the park. architecture bypass transport blogs Tue, 24 Apr 2007 00:00:00 GMT http://wellurban.blogspot.com/2007/04/in-memoriam.html WellUrban 2007-04-24T00:00:00Z
