Questions were also asked about how this all fits with transport overall. cycling sport architecture blogs Thu, 29 Nov 2012 00:00:00 GMT http://eyeofthefish.org/andy-foster-writes-2/ Eye of the Fish 2012-11-29T00:00:00Z http://eyeofthefish.org/where-the-are-the-bike-lanes-already/ We’ve had a bicycle-mad mayor for two years now and I don’t think I’ve seen one new bike lane, or any real indication that the council still even gives two hoots about cyclists and pedestrians. In fact our transport planning has just become, frankly, bizarre. For example our city council, regional council, and NZTA apparatchiks seem to think it’s a suitable use of millions of dollars of public money to tack on a dubious pedestrian-walkway-cum-cycleway to the Basin Reserve flyover, so that we can walk and cycle from the tunnel to the bypass. You know, because there’s such a huge amount of people walking and cycling around the city rather than to the city. It’s a route that is barely used for obvious reasons and will remain that way, even if they do actually fix the cycleway so that it is a proper cycleway and not just some bike-shaped-stencils painted onto a sidewalk*. cycling basinreserve sport transport architecture blogs Mon, 26 Nov 2012 00:00:00 GMT http://eyeofthefish.org/where-the-are-the-bike-lanes-already/ Eye of the Fish 2012-11-26T00:00:00Z -41.30037055 174.7802503270504 Basin Reserve, Dufferin Street, Mount Victoria, Wellington, Wellington City, Wellington, 6021, New Zealand http://eyeofthefish.org/mayors-knickers-in-twist-over-cycle-lanes/ It’s not unusual for mayoral cycling fanatic Celia Wade-Brown to advocate for cycle lanes. While her recent support for road building has caused some among us to query her how green her credentials are – one thing for certain is that if there’s a road to be built there’ll be cycle lanes attached to it. cycling sport architecture blogs Thu, 31 Mar 2011 00:00:00 GMT http://eyeofthefish.org/mayors-knickers-in-twist-over-cycle-lanes/ Eye of the Fish 2011-03-31T00:00:00Z http://eyeofthefish.org/harbour-cycling/ News of this has just come to light here at the Fish headquarters: the Council is supporting the ‘Great Harbour Way‘ cycle path along the edge of the big pond out there, “proposed to run almost 70 km from Pencarrow right around Wellington Harbour before finally ending at Owhiro Bay on Wellington’s South Coast. cycling sport architecture blogs Tue, 07 Jul 2009 00:00:00 GMT http://eyeofthefish.org/harbour-cycling/ Eye of the Fish 2009-07-07T00:00:00Z
