A Ngaio Gorge cycleway
- Wellington Region Cycleways
- This post is a thought for the future, being a little ahead of the curve. After we’ve built the Great Harbour Way and we’ve built the bike lanes across the Cake Tin concourse, and Wellington is a city of trams and ferries and bicycles we might like to consider developing this idea.

The price of parking, the cost of leaks
- Wellington Scoop
- We learnt last week that the Wellington City Council earns $6000 every year from each of its pay-and-display parking spaces. 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.
