      <title>Free Walking Solution- Hataitai to CBD</title>
      <link>https://sarahfree.org.nz/2019/10/01/free-walking-solution-hataitai-to-cbd/</link>
      <description>Would more people walk to work or school from the Eastern suburbs if they didn’t have to use the dark, crowded, loud and smelly Mt Victoria tunnel?Here’s the idea: can WCC and GWRC work together to give walkers a free trip from one side of the Hataitai bus tunnel to the other?Once the bus system is up and running with a bit of spare capacity, think what a boon that could be for walkers.</description>

      <title>When Road Cycling is Illegal</title>
      <link>https://wellingtontransport.wordpress.com/2015/04/16/when-road-cycling-is-illegal/</link>
      <description>Following my recent post on fixing cyclist infrastructure, I received a reply that questioned the rationale of pushing cyclists into pedestrian space:

@sustwelltrans Lets make roads that work for all vehicles - Arras underpass should have bikes ok - leave #footpaths for #pedetrians

— 
Ellen Blake (@Windynell) April 05, 2015
Since I didn’t know how or why cyclist restrictions happen, I emailed WCC to ask.

Cyclists can use all roads except for motorways, lanes reserved for Buses Only, pedestrian malls, and some tunnels.  Cyclists are banned from these places due to safety concerns which derive from conflicts very high volumes of other users who have been formally given exclusive priority.  Cyclists may use all normal Bus Lanes, but not Bus Only lanes.

Motorways in Wellington City area are:


State Highway 1 from the Karo/Willis intersection to Ngauranga
State Highway 1 from Johnsonville to Porirua

Bus Only lanes are:


Throndon Quay southbound centre lane into Lambton Interchange
Lambton Quay from Bunny St to Whitmore St (Lambton Interchange site)
Lambton Quay southbound from Brandon St to Featherston St
Hunter St-Customhouse Quay-Willis St southbound from Featherston St to Manners St
Manners St from Willis St to Cuba St both directions

Pedestrian Malls are:


Cuba St from Ghuznee St to Manners St

Tunnels where cyclists are banned are:


Arras Tunnel (State Highway 1)
Mt Victoria Tunnel road lanes (State Highway 1)
Hataitai Bus Tunnel.


I’m sure that there are plenty of points that could be contested within that list, but I’ll only touch on a couple. For the road tunnels, the conditions of the road are identical to normal urban roads, with the exception of ventilation and lighting. It’s not clear how or why the Arras and Mt Victoria tunnels would create an actual safety risk beyond that of normal urban cycling. If there is some exceptional risk, wouldn’t it be better to educate the motorists that cause the risk?

The decisions are the responsibility of the appropriate Road Controlling Authority.  For all urban roads Wellington City Council is the RCA, for the entire state highway network it is the New Zealand Transport Agency.  The timing of decisions result from safety and management reviews on an as required basis.


Both tunnels are part of SH1 and fall under NZTA’s authority. I’ve just sent an OIA request for justification of the exclusion. They have until May 15 to respond.</description>

      <title>Building a road and saving 30 seconds</title>
      <link>http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=76088</link>
      <description>One of the most extraordinary things about plans to bulldoze a road through the pristine Takapu Valley is the claim about how much time will be saved. They’re counting the savings in seconds.&#xD;
&#xD;
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.</description>

      <title>Another Motorway Battle Looms</title>
      <link>http://www.aucklandtrains.co.nz/2011/06/07/another-motorway-battle-looms/</link>
      <description>Another motorway battle is looming in the Capital.And it’s close to the Greens’ heart.&#xD;
A plan to ram a motorway through Hataitai may affect among others, Greens co-leader Russel Norman as he lives in Hataitai.&#xD;
And it could be another big test for the Wellington’s Greens’ Mayor.&#xD;
The NZTA plans to duplicate the Mt Victoria Tunnel and put a four lane motorway through Hataitai which Norman says would be bad for everyone.</description>

      <description>Should buses only be allowed to use Wellington’s Mt Vic bus tunnel, which runs between Pirie Street in Mt Victoria and Waitoa Road,Hataitai?&#xD;
It’s been a hotly debated issue – just like Auckland’s debate about when cars should be allowed to use Grafton Bridge.</description>

      <description>The photo above is of Designline trolley bus 363 about to enter the Mt Victoria Tunnel en route to Miramar, Route 2.&#xD;

Of course, there are no trolley wires through the Mt Vic tunnel. Route 2 runs through the wired Hataitai bus-only tunnel.</description>

      <title>Positive Meeting with Go Wellington</title>
      <link>http://mtvictoria.org.nz/Mt_Victoria/News/Entries/2008/8/26_Entry_1.html</link>
      <description>Good progress has been made with Go Wellington in an effort to resolve the issue of out-of-service buses using the Pirie Street bus tunnel.According to the Greater Wellington Council bylaw, only scheduled services that have been registered with the Council may use the tunnel. At a meeting convened by GWRC, Go Wellington acknowledged that there was an imperfect understanding of the rules by some drivers, and undertook to educate staff better.</description>

      <description>Although we would hate you to think that we had an unnatural love for tunnels, we think it's only fair to warn you that new lights have been installed at either end of the Hataitai/Mt Vic tunnel that are so bright that you'll think you are outside in the sunshine already, even at night.  It doesn't make people honk any less though.</description>
