Organised by (unsuccessful) Lambton Ward candidate and famed Kaffee Eis creamslinger, Karl Tiefenbacher, the “Park It” campaign hinges itself on business owners arguing that losing the 20 car parks will make a significant impact on their profit margins. “The thing to remember is that a lot of people walk here, obviously, and I get stupid statements like, ‘cars don’t spend money, people do’, but cars don’t drive themselves either, so every car brings an extra person to Cuba St,” he told Salient. “You know, we’re selling a low cost product, and we need a lot of turnover, so if we lose something like 10% of our business [by having no car parks], that’s enough to send us under.” cubastreet parking places transport media vuw education Sun, 14 Apr 2024 00:00:00 GMT https://www.salient.org.nz/post/more-pedestrians-on-cuba-st-will-destroy-business-say-campaigners Salient 2024-04-14T00:00:00Z -41.2937917 174.7754336 Cuba Street, Te Aro, Wellington, Wellington City, Wellington, 6011, New Zealand https://www.innercitywellington.nz/latest-news/2023/10/26/update-from-lets-get-wellington-moving-re-cuba-street-upgrades Kia ora koutou This email is to update you on the Traffic Resolution process for Cuba Street upgrades as part of the City Streets programme of Let’s Get Wellington Moving. cubastreet lgwm places transport communitygroups Thu, 26 Oct 2023 00:00:00 GMT https://www.innercitywellington.nz/latest-news/2023/10/26/update-from-lets-get-wellington-moving-re-cuba-street-upgrades Inner-City Wellington 2023-10-26T00:00:00Z -41.2937917 174.7754336 Cuba Street, Te Aro, Wellington, Wellington City, Wellington, 6011, New Zealand https://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=140403 Last week’s cautious city council move towards keeping traffic out of more of Cuba Street, and converting part of Dixon Street for pedestrians, should be welcomed by almost everyone, except for the few who still think that customers only arrive in cars. Councillors voted 11-3 to limit private vehicle access on Cuba Street between Ghuznee Street and Vivian Street, and on Dixon Street between Taranaki Street and Victoria Street. cubastreet transport wcc places government media Mon, 15 Nov 2021 00:00:00 GMT https://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=140403 Wellington Scoop 2021-11-15T00:00:00Z -41.2937917 174.7754336 Cuba Street, Te Aro, Wellington, Wellington City, Wellington, 6011, New Zealand http://slowboatrecords.co.nz/danke-3/ Well, I did tell you that Record Store Day 2019 would be something special…! (pic by Tim Gruar) I mean, at that stage there was only the suggestion that blimmin’ Kurt Vile might be joining us, and we didn’t know for sure until we got a call that he and the Violators were on their way from the airport, having played 2 sold out shows in Auckland, and ahead of another sold out show here in Wellington. And it NEARLY didn’t happen, but we are so glad it did – and if you were here, good for you – it really was quite amazing to have one the most singular and unique voices in modern songwriting playing for us all here on this special day. He and his band and management were absolutely delightful, huge music fans, and KV even stuck around to sign albums and pose for pics, for which we are hugely grateful and humbled. (pic by Tim Gruar) We also enjoyed terrific sets from ex-Slow Boater/ Chill/ Verlaine Caroline Easther, who ran through some fine songs from her debut solo album, “Lucky”, with her wingman, guitar ace Alan Galloway, along with ‘Friend Of Slow Boat’ Lawrence Arabia, who shared some choice selections from his brilliant new album “Singles Club” (which may just be his finest hour yet…) (pic by Tim Gruar) So finally – can we just say a huge thankyou to everyone who made the 13th so special – to PJ who always designs us the most beautiful posters, to Ziggy from San Fran, soundguy extraordinaire Bernie Gruschow, the good people at Music Planet, Drunken Piano Touring, our suppliers, especially Universal, Rhythmethod and Southbound, to Kurt, Caroline and James/ Lawrence for the wonderful live entertainment – and finally, to you guys, the punters, some of whom queued in the cold from early in the morning to get your mitts on limited RSD collectables, and were, without exception, some of the friendliest, most enthusiastic and genuine music lovers we have encountered. The whole day felt more than just a little magical, which is more than you could reasonably expect, right…?! Give us a year to recover, and we’ll see if we can’t do it all over again, huh?!

They’re counting the savings in seconds. The claim is found in an Appendix to the controversial report in which the chief executives of regional councils tell their mayors that they ought to support a road through the valley. orientalbay tawa khandallah makara worserbay stokes-valley mountcook islandbay hataitai civic-square ngaio northland roseneath newtown thorndon huttvalley titahi-bay paraparaumu wadestown kapiti miramar porirua johnsonville wainuiomata lyallbay wilton begonia-house paremata eastbourne karori mountvictoria kelburn kilbirnie berhampore arovalley brooklyn wairarapa seatoun cubastreet waterfront newlands takapu-valley transport places media Sat, 07 Mar 2015 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=76088 Wellington Scoop 2015-03-07T00:00:00Z -41.3246143 174.8320065 Seatoun http://jackyan.com/blog/2013/05/park-wise/ Earlier today, the following press release was issued by my campaign team. parking cubastreet transport places election-candiates-2010 elections2010 local-body-elections blogs Mon, 27 May 2013 00:00:00 GMT http://jackyan.com/blog/2013/05/park-wise/ Jack Yan 2013-05-27T00:00:00Z -41.2937427 174.7758025 Wilson, Swan Lane, Te Aro, Wellington, 6011, New Zealand/Aotearoa http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=29813 cubastreet manners-mall-bus-lane places bus-lanes transport media Fri, 26 Nov 2010 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=29813 Wellington Scoop 2010-11-26T00:00:00Z -41.2937917 174.7754336 Cuba Street, Te Aro, Wellington, Wellington City, Wellington, 6011, New Zealand http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=29750 cubastreet manners-mall-bus-lane places bus-lanes transport media Thu, 25 Nov 2010 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=29750 Wellington Scoop 2010-11-25T00:00:00Z -41.2937917 174.7754336 Cuba Street, Te Aro, Wellington, Wellington City, Wellington, 6011, New Zealand http://www.aucklandtrains.co.nz/2010/02/24/call-for-a-new-york-look-to-wellington/ The full redesign of Wellington’s lower Cuba Street is now impossible to implement before the Rugby World Cup, according to Wellington’s mayor who says this is because of a delay in legal issues. The deal for allowing buses to be rerouted through Manners Mall to improve public transport was that there would be better public space in lower Cuba Street. Today, Cr Celia Wade-Brown urges council staff to investigate temporary improvements so shared space can be initiated as soon as the bus route moves. cubastreet manners-mall-bus-lane places bus-lanes transport trains Wed, 24 Feb 2010 00:00:00 GMT http://www.aucklandtrains.co.nz/2010/02/24/call-for-a-new-york-look-to-wellington/ Auckland Trains 2010-02-24T00:00:00Z -41.2937917 174.7754336 Cuba Street, Te Aro, Wellington, Wellington City, Wellington, 6011, New Zealand http://pepptalknz.blogspot.com/2009/12/manners-mall-net-stop-environment-court.html With the final passing of the revocation of pedestrian status of Manners Mall and creation of shared space in lower Cuba Street at the Council meeting on Friday, December 11, 2009, one battle has ended. cubastreet manners-mall-bus-lane places bus-lanes transport people blogs election-candiates-2010 elections2010 local-body-elections councillors government Wed, 16 Dec 2009 00:00:00 GMT http://pepptalknz.blogspot.com/2009/12/manners-mall-net-stop-environment-court.html Bryan Pepperell - Back To The Future 2009-12-16T00:00:00Z -41.2937917 174.7754336 Cuba Street, Te Aro, Wellington, Wellington City, Wellington, 6011, New Zealand http://eyeofthefish.org/changes-to-manners-mall-and-cuba-st-confirmed/ On Thursday, the Council’s Strategy and Policy Committee voted — 9 vs 5— to approve the proposed changes to Manners Mall and Lower Cuba St. cubastreet wcc manners-mall-bus-lane places government bus-lanes transport architecture blogs Fri, 11 Dec 2009 00:00:00 GMT http://eyeofthefish.org/changes-to-manners-mall-and-cuba-st-confirmed/ Eye of the Fish 2009-12-11T00:00:00Z -41.2937917 174.7754336 Cuba Street, Te Aro, Wellington, Wellington City, Wellington, 6011, New Zealand http://architecture.org.nz/2009/09/12/the-elephant-in-the-room/ Phil Jones‘ talk on last Wednesday (9 Sept 09) presented the idea of shared spaces (also known as naked streets) in the context of the council’s proposal to convert lower Cuba St into a shared space.
