Bikes on Buses in the draft GWRC Long Term Plan
- Cycling in Wellington
- Greater Wellington Regional Council has included the implementation of bike racks on buses in its draft Long Term Plan, to be investigated and implemented where practical starting in 2017. It has been included in the ‘out years’ of the plan in order that high priority (and costly) upgrades to the rail commuter network may be completed in the short term. It is hoped that the provision of bike racks on buses will encourage cycle commuting by providing a safe, fall-back option for cyclists who are caught out by bad weather, failing light or mechanical problems.

Getting it as right as we can
- Wellington Scoop
- One of the interesting aspects of Wellington.Scoop’s ‘getting it right’ debate about local government reform for the Wellington region is that the choices are not clear cut, whatever the values that dominate one’s approach.

Shame on the Regional Council – it supports the flyover, but seems unhappy with its decision
- Wellington Scoop
- After a process that didn’t seem to satisfy anyone except Fran Wilde, the Regional Council will tell the NZ Transport Agency that it supports a 380-metre concrete bridge from the Mt Victoria Tunnel alongside the Basin Reserve to the Tory Street traffic lights.
