Smokin gets some long overdue love

- <a role="presentation" class=" image-slide-anchor content-fill " > <a role="presentation" class=" image-slide-anchor content-fill " > <a role="presentation" class=" image-slide-anchor content-fill " > <a role="presentation" class=" image-slide-anchor content-fill " > <a role="presentation" class=" image-slide-anchor content-fill " > <a role="presentation" class=" image-slide-anchor content-fill " > Smokin has been getting some long overdue attention thanks to Ranger Mark Kent and the team from TGL Contracting Limited. If you’re starting out mountain biking, Smokin is a great option for helping progress onto intermediate trails. It’s a gentle gradient with no scary drop offs on the side of the trail to distract you! This work is particularly focussed on improving the switchbacks and the flow by rebuilding berms to allow riders to safely carry more speed as they improve their skills. Thanks to Wellington City Council for funding this work as part of their commitment to Mākara Peak. Check out Smokin on Trailforks at https://www.trailforks.com/trails/smokin-20917 Help us do more great things at Mākara Peak by signing up to the Trails Wellington app or donate at https://givealittle.co.nz/org/makarapeak The track is still raw in places, so take care. Maybe even stay off it, if too wet, especially if the forecast is a bit dodgy.

Budget absence of new trains surprises and disappoints regional councils
- Greater Wellington Regional Council
- The Budget’s failure to contribute funding for a fleet of hybrid electric trains in the lower North Island has surprised and disappointed Greater Wellington and Horizons regional councils. The trains, which are battery powered on non-electric track, were proposed by the councils in a business case paid for by Waka Kotahi. Greater Wellington chair Daran Ponter and Horizons chair Rachel Keedwell said the government’s decision was, “Like the lights being turned off”. "It’s especially disappointing for commuters and surprising for our councils. But we’re not giving up,” Cr Ponter said. “When enacted, our business case will significantly reduce transport emissions while providing for population growth and the replacement of aged rolling stock.” Supported by Manawatū-Whanganui’s seven mayors, as well as the eight mayors of the Wellington region, the business case recommends a $762 million dollar investment in a fleet of 22 four-car, tri-mode trains, and associated infrastructure.
