Well the LGWM thing was announced supporting the big, most expensive package. As you know I got my issues, discussed in 3-Big-Flaws here. Thought I’d come back and address a few bonus thoughts. First up: The Gauntlet Tunnel. To recap. The selected package aims for trams to Island Bay, frustratingly bypassing Newtown, and a busway to Kilbirnie and Miramar frustratingly attached to a new highway tunnel. lgwm transport architecture blogs Sun, 17 Jul 2022 00:00:00 GMT https://eyeofthefish.org/lgwm-the-gauntlet/ Eye of the Fish 2022-07-17T00:00:00Z https://eyeofthefish.org/feedback-time-again/ Slowly but surely, at a majestic but glacial pace, Let’s Get Wellington Moving are moving forwards. Well, moving, at least. Maybe it is forwards. Maybe it is sideways. But at least it is not backwards. They’ve released some proposals, and want your / our feedback. And that means it is time for a closer look. lgwm consultation transport architecture blogs Mon, 11 Jul 2022 00:00:00 GMT https://eyeofthefish.org/feedback-time-again/ Eye of the Fish 2022-07-11T00:00:00Z https://eyeofthefish.org/lgwm-decision-at-last/ Transport Minister Michael Wood blindsided Wellington this morning, with an announcement – and a definite decision – that Wellington is going to get Light Rail... lgwm light-rail transport trains architecture blogs Tue, 28 Jun 2022 23:25:52 GMT https://eyeofthefish.org/lgwm-decision-at-last/ Eye of the Fish 2022-06-28T23:25:52Z https://eyeofthefish.org/light-rail-and-fresh-tunnels/ Let’s not pussyfoot around – Wellington needs a Rapid Transit system and that simply cannot be more buses. And it needs to be Rapid (like the name suggests) so it needs some new direct routes – that means new tunnels.

If you thought that the run up to Christmas was getting tight for time this year, then get ready for it to be even more tight in terms of your time. Firstly, one you may not have been aware of: the proposal by KiwiRail and InterIslander to build new terminus stations in both Picton and Wellington, in order to tie in with the arrival of two new ferries due here in three years time. You can find out more about this proposal here. I’m not sure when they want the feedback by, but I’m sure that they want some feedback! consultation cycle-lanes kings-wharf lgwm transport ferry architecture blogs Sat, 27 Nov 2021 00:00:00 GMT https://eyeofthefish.org/four-upcoming-submittals/ Eye of the Fish 2021-11-27T00:00:00Z -41.2620718 174.7927802 Kaiwharawhara Point, Kaiwharawhara, Wellington, Wellington City, Wellington, 6035, New Zealand https://eyeofthefish.org/lgwm-3-big-flaws/ Hi all. It’s been a long time since I’ve posted (feels like it could be ten years). But I’m back to raise some major flaws with the LGWM plans because this has been a near and dear subject to me over the past 20 years. None of these flaws appear to be necessary compromises forced by cost or other constraints. And it appears we could fix them without additional cost. If we do fix them, we’ll have a much better transit network for Wellington. We won’t get a shot to do this over, so we should do it right. lgwm transport architecture blogs Sun, 21 Nov 2021 00:00:00 GMT https://eyeofthefish.org/lgwm-3-big-flaws/ Eye of the Fish 2021-11-21T00:00:00Z https://eyeofthefish.org/look-blue-go-purple/ After many long years, LGWM have finally offered us 4 shiny new options for us Wellingtonians to savour and think about, bedecked in shiny new colours to match the LGWM logo.

Of course, now having made a decision, they now want to ask us our opinion on their momentous decision. So, this post, the topic of discussion is all about the proposed Cobham Drive crossing. Seeing as their method of discussion is all behind closed doors (they are calling for submissions by the end of July), I though that it might be more useful to have some discussion in public, and the Eye of the Fish seems to be a good place to discuss that. lgwm consultation transport cobham-drive-bridge architecture blogs Thu, 01 Jul 2021 00:00:00 GMT https://eyeofthefish.org/cobham-drive/ Eye of the Fish 2021-07-01T00:00:00Z -41.3148226 174.800302 Cobham Drive, Kilbirnie, Wellington, Wellington City, Wellington, 6021, New Zealand https://eyeofthefish.org/build-a-bridge-over-cobham-drive/ OK: so my last post was trying to be all neutral, but I can’t take it any longer. kilbirnie transport cobham-drive-bridge places lgwm architecture blogs Thu, 01 Jul 2021 00:00:00 GMT https://eyeofthefish.org/build-a-bridge-over-cobham-drive/ Eye of the Fish 2021-07-01T00:00:00Z -41.3148226 174.800302 Cobham Drive, Kilbirnie, Wellington, Wellington City, Wellington, 6021, New Zealand https://eyeofthefish.org/lgwm-spanked/ And Spanked is putting it mildly. transport lgwm architecture blogs Sat, 13 Feb 2021 00:00:00 GMT https://eyeofthefish.org/lgwm-spanked/ Eye of the Fish 2021-02-13T00:00:00Z http://eyeofthefish.org/transform-by-friday/ I hadn’t realised that time is moving so fast, but LGWM wants feedback on their proposals by Friday. consultation transport lgwm architecture blogs Tue, 21 Jul 2020 19:55:00 GMT http://eyeofthefish.org/transform-by-friday/ Eye of the Fish 2020-07-21T19:55:00Z http://eyeofthefish.org/the-lgwm-masterplan/ Here at The Eye of the Fish World HeadQuarters tower building, we overlook our sweet wee metropolis and purvey the scene daily. transport lgwm architecture blogs Fri, 17 Jul 2020 11:25:58 GMT http://eyeofthefish.org/the-lgwm-masterplan/ Eye of the Fish 2020-07-17T11:25:58Z http://eyeofthefish.org/3-options/ Like you, I’ve been sitting down reading all the millions of pages of information provided by LGWM in their first major release of proposals for Wellington. transport lgwm architecture blogs Sun, 05 Jul 2020 03:41:09 GMT http://eyeofthefish.org/3-options/ Eye of the Fish 2020-07-05T03:41:09Z http://eyeofthefish.org/lets-get-consultation-started/ At long last LGWM have uploaded some of their work for the Public to look at and consult on. art consultation lgwm transport architecture blogs Wed, 24 Jun 2020 17:50:05 GMT http://eyeofthefish.org/lets-get-consultation-started/ Eye of the Fish 2020-06-24T17:50:05Z http://eyeofthefish.org/lgwm-chooses-pods/ Early indications this morning are that Let’s Get Wellington Moving has chosen Pods as the main public transportation device for Wellington moving forward. sport transport wellington lgwm architecture blogs Tue, 31 Mar 2020 17:17:03 GMT http://eyeofthefish.org/lgwm-chooses-pods/ Eye of the Fish 2020-03-31T17:17:03Z http://eyeofthefish.org/public-transport-network/ Following on from the diagram that Eye of the Fish published a short while ago, it has come out that this is, indeed, more or less exactly the route that LGWM have proposed as well. lgwm transport architecture blogs Sun, 07 Jul 2019 12:48:16 GMT http://eyeofthefish.org/public-transport-network/ Eye of the Fish 2019-07-07T12:48:16Z
