I declined. Too many other matters already engaged me. But I did read the technical reports disclosed by the Council and found a curious thing. The Council said they recommended demolition. I found they did not. I wrote and lodged a written submission pointing this out. Perhaps I had misunderstood. So far none of the engineers have disputed my submission with me. Two more from Dunning Thornton and then Spencer Holmes (who know the bridge well, having strengthened it after the Kaikoura Quakes) confirmed my main conclusions. city-to-sea-bridge media Fri, 06 Dec 2024 00:00:00 GMT https://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=166239 Wellington Scoop 2024-12-06T00:00:00Z -41.28871245 174.77854018809037 City to Sea Bridge, Te Aro, Wellington, Wellington City, Wellington, New Zealand https://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=166179 city-to-sea-bridge wcc government media Thu, 05 Dec 2024 00:00:00 GMT https://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=166179 Wellington Scoop 2024-12-05T00:00:00Z -41.28871245 174.77854018809037 City to Sea Bridge, Te Aro, Wellington, Wellington City, Wellington, New Zealand https://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=165205 Stop smashing it. Stop wasting $30 million to demolish the City to Sea Bridge. This bridge is far more than just a bridge; it symbolizes our hopes for Wellington’s future. The Council is ignoring its own vision for the city’s heart — Framework 2021 — which aims for a thriving civic centre where creativity, culture, democracy, and the arts converge. (Though the Council has moved outside it.) city-to-sea-bridge media Fri, 01 Nov 2024 00:00:00 GMT https://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=165205 Wellington Scoop 2024-11-01T00:00:00Z -41.28871245 174.77854018809037 City to Sea Bridge, Te Aro, Wellington, Wellington City, Wellington, New Zealand https://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=163737 Two local experts are arguing strongly against the demolition options in the Wellington City Council’s “single vision” proposal for Civic Square. Not that the council’s vision takes a single stance – but it lists demolition as a choice for consideration. city-to-sea-bridge media Tue, 10 Sep 2024 00:00:00 GMT https://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=163737 Wellington Scoop 2024-09-10T00:00:00Z -41.28871245 174.77854018809037 City to Sea Bridge, Te Aro, Wellington, Wellington City, Wellington, New Zealand https://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=163689 Demolition of the City to Sea Bridge could be imminent, if Wellington city councillors have their way. They seem determined to proceed with demolition without further consultation with the public, though consultation is planned in the “single vision” document released this week. At their briefing last Wednesday on the future of Te Ngakau/Civic Square, some councillors supported and not one objected to a proposal by staff to seek legal advice on whether the Council ‘has to’ consult over demolition. city-to-sea-bridge media Sat, 07 Sep 2024 00:00:00 GMT https://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=163689 Wellington Scoop 2024-09-07T00:00:00Z -41.28871245 174.77854018809037
