Why we need MRT
- Wellington Scoop
- At a time of close scrutiny of the LGWM programme, with some Wellington city councillors calling for it to be abandoned and an opposition party ready to scrap it if they win power, it is time to reflect on just why we need Mass Rapid Transport and what the consequences for our region will be if this doesn’t go ahead.

How LGWM should be fixing the traffic – now
- Wellington Scoop
- If LGWM truly wanted to get traffic moving faster, it could start work tomorrow. For those of you (like me) with elephantine memories, the Basin Flyover Inquiry identified a number of things that could be done – and SHOULD be done – and a number of things that must NEVER be done.

No decisions, but 4 more options
- Wellington Scoop
- LGWM is continuing its indecisiveness for a sixth year, with four transport options to be announced next week. According to the NZ Herald, all the options include a new Mt Victoria Tunnel, and three of the options include grade separation at the Basin Reserve.

No light at the end of this tunnel
- Wellington Scoop
- If you’ve been wondering why LGWM seems to be continually distracted instead of making decisions to get us moving – yesterday’s news of recommendations in a (leaked) report would have confirmed your suspicions.

How to cross the road?
- Wellington Scoop
- What’s the best way for a pedestrian or a cyclist to cross four lanes of traffic on Cobham Drive? After some years of indecision, the people at LGWM this week came up with the answer.

Five years of not getting us moving
- Wellington Scoop
- There was another reminder last week that Let’s Get Wellington Moving is mis-named. Announcing that public feedback from 2000 people on changes to Wellington’s Golden Mile had overwhelmingly backed the “transform” option, it said: “The next step … is to identify a preferred option.” If only LGWM could move on from research and consultation to what we thought it was supposed to be doing – getting us moving.

Choosing a Golden Mile option
- Wellington Scoop
- How many of us have read through the hundreds of pages released last month by LGWM in the latest stage of its seemingly endless saga to improve conditions on the Golden Mile. (The short version alone was 170 pages.)
