Not one flyover, but two of them
- Wellington Scoop
- There’s an added reason for Wellington city councillors to reaffirm their opposition to the Basin Reserve flyover today. While the Transport Agency’s current plan is to build one flyover carrying two lanes of west-bound traffic, it has an even worse idea for the future: a second flyover to carry traffic in the opposite direction.

Fighting the flyover: a second vote
- Wellington Scoop
- The Wellington City Council is this week having another of its “extraordinary” meetings. This one is crucial for the city’s urban design – councillors will be voting to confirm opposition to the flyover which the Transport Agency wants to build at the Basin Reserve.

Motorway Patrol

- I’ve been really impressed by the pace of construction of the sparkly-new bypass-of-the-bypass since I’ve got back. Apparently this started in late October, and as I walked by today the road was just about ready for sealing. The new NZTA website doesn’t seem to offer any drawings or maps of this, so for those who haven’t had the chance to see it, I took these pictures a couple of weeks ago to give you an impression of the route.

Trams or trains – what 3 studies proposed
- Wellington Scoop
- The reality of the noise problem on Johnsonville trains (which brought complaints last week) is that the heavy rail electric multiple units which provide the service are at their limits on the line, although it now has the best on-time performance of any rail line in Wellington – 94%, even with the clapped-out English Electrics that were in use till June.

Reactivating a bus stop
- Sustainable Wellington Transport
- Bus stop 7918 was closed during the construction of the Countdown store in Newtown. I don’t remember how long it was down for, but it was a significant length of time. With the store opening today, I’d asked Metlink when the stop would be reopening. I think we were both surprised by the answer: Also today. Encouraged by this, I went down to the stop this morning and caught the next bus coming along. The driver insisted that the stop wasn’t open yet. The paint is down and the sign is up, but the bus stop isn’t really a bus stop. She let us on anyway.
