7 bicycles per person per year
- Wellington Region Cycleways
- How would you and every New Zealander like to be given 7 bicycles in the coming year? What would you do with 7 bicycles? Have one for every day of the week? It would be a bit of an extravagance and wouldn’t it be a complete waste of money? Well yes, of course.

- Sustainable Wellington Transport
- Wellington City Council has come out against the NZTA’s Basin Reserve flyover plans – but the Economic Committee of Greater Wellington (aka the Wellington Regional Council) voted to support the flyover.

Basin flyover: Live council decision blog
- Architectural Centre Inc
- Here’s the link to the Live Blog for this morning’s WCC Coucillor’s meeting to decide upon the official WCC position with respect to the NZTA proposed Basin flyovers – courtesy of Dave Burgess of the DomPost. It should be a fairly heated session given the division within the Council on the issue, as reported here. PS: [...]

Roundabout Rigmarole
- Keith Johnson
- The sauce is still flying as Wellington tries to choke down the meat ball and spaghetti junction that constitutes Wellington's Basin Reserve Road Interchange. In a cold serve from public officials and politicians, the public is (as often) being given scraps served on a dirty plate - but left with an empty feeling and an empty pocket. I’ll try to make some sense of the real issues, just for the record.

Option X
- Eye of the Fish
- Following on from the usual tired old grumpy pro-road editorial in the Dom Post, which came to the conclusion that pursuing Option X would be a waste of time, perhaps it is time for a less jaded eye to look at the arguments for, and against. First up, and to some, most importantly, i guess that we have to address the question of cost. The DomPost identifies that Option X may cost up to $165m, which does sound like a heck of a lot of money, and says that the “agency’s preferred option” would only cost $75m. Well, that’s a slam dunk right there, isn’t it? One option more than twice as much as the other? Those damn pesky architects proposing being profligate with the public purse? Except that, no, i reckon that the Dom Post figures are wrong.

Shine Falls – a remnant of the NZ walkways
- Wellington Region Cycleways
- If I’m reading history right in the 1970s there was a small movement (amongst Taranaki locals?) for the establishment of an East West Walkway across the North Island from Cape Egmont to East Cape.
