Organised by (unsuccessful) Lambton Ward candidate and famed Kaffee Eis creamslinger, Karl Tiefenbacher, the “Park It” campaign hinges itself on business owners arguing that losing the 20 car parks will make a significant impact on their profit margins. “The thing to remember is that a lot of people walk here, obviously, and I get stupid statements like, ‘cars don’t spend money, people do’, but cars don’t drive themselves either, so every car brings an extra person to Cuba St,” he told Salient. “You know, we’re selling a low cost product, and we need a lot of turnover, so if we lose something like 10% of our business [by having no car parks], that’s enough to send us under.” cubastreet parking places transport media vuw education Sun, 14 Apr 2024 00:00:00 GMT https://www.salient.org.nz/post/more-pedestrians-on-cuba-st-will-destroy-business-say-campaigners Salient 2024-04-14T00:00:00Z -41.2937917 174.7754336 Cuba Street, Te Aro, Wellington, Wellington City, Wellington, 6011, New Zealand http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=129183 parking people transport blogs media Sat, 27 Jun 2020 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=129183 Wellington Scoop 2020-06-27T00:00:00Z http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=127982 parking transport media Mon, 11 May 2020 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=127982 Wellington Scoop 2020-05-11T00:00:00Z http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=71176 parking transport media Wed, 24 Sep 2014 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=71176 Wellington Scoop 2014-09-24T00:00:00Z http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=62977 parking wcc transport government media Fri, 13 Dec 2013 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=62977 Wellington Scoop 2013-12-13T00:00:00Z http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=32436 n November 2008, road works were started to resurface and widen Riddiford Street in Newtown, from the southern end to the heritage shopping precinct at the intersection of John Street and Adelaide Road.

The news came in a statement from the Mayor, responding to a DomPost report that the council was thinking of ending free parking for motorbikes and scooters. Not so, she said. parking wcc transport government media Wed, 19 Jan 2011 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=30985 Wellington Scoop 2011-01-19T00:00:00Z http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/2010/08/what-to-do-with-parking-fines/ After claims that Wellington parking wardens were given ipods and overseas trips to encourage revenue gathering, the Wellington City Council put an end to the speculation – there was just one ipod, and one overseas trip. Both prizes were gifted in a warden’s competition which had nothing to do with how much revenue they’d collected. Fair enough, too. Many employees are offered rewards for a whole range of reasons. But public perception is hard to shake. So, what should the council do? Here’s an idea that’s guaranteed to please everybody. Well, nearly everybody. wcc parking government transport media Fri, 20 Aug 2010 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/2010/08/what-to-do-with-parking-fines/ Wellington Scoop 2010-08-20T00:00:00Z http://scootnz.co.nz/2010/04/14/golden-mile-manners-mall-bye-bye-mercer-st-motorcycle-park/ consultation parking motorcycle transport automotive sport media Wed, 14 Apr 2010 00:00:00 GMT http://scootnz.co.nz/2010/04/14/golden-mile-manners-mall-bye-bye-mercer-st-motorcycle-park/ Scoot NZ 2010-04-14T00:00:00Z http://scootnz.co.nz/2010/02/01/wcc-parking-update-from-jon-visser/ Happy New Year and I have some good news.
