- Wellington Region Cycleways
- The NZTA has released a video with a fly-through of the proposed Kapiti Expressway/Sandhills Motorway/ Mackays to Peka Peka route: Here are my observations of what I can see in the video with regards to the cycling provisions: The cyclepath seems to follow close to the motorway along the bottom of the Raumati Escarpment north of Mackay’s Crossing.

- The main streets of Newtown are being converted into State Highway One for four nights every week from now till the end of the year, while the NZ Transport Agency is closing the Mt Victoria tunnel for repairs.

Things to come on the harbour’s edge
- Wellington Scoop
- Amongst all the details of new roads and ramps and car parks, there’s some enthusiasm about cycling and walking in the Regional Council’s new ten-year plan for transport from Ngauranga to Te Marua. In particular, there’s a strong recommendation for a good quality cycling and walking route between Ngauranga and Petone. Regional Council chair Fran Wilde says it is one of the major projects in the plan.
