So we ended up doing a cycling trip to the Empire Cinema in Island Bay to see Encanto Reo Māori. Because the cycleway connection in Berhampore is only half built, we took a short-cut from our home in Berhampore to get to the Parade. The kids were very keen, as they always are, to get their “bikes on the road.” These streets from Adelaide Road in Berhampore to the Parade in Island Bay, Tapu te Ranga, are another group of city streets built above waterways. The Pae Kawakawa stream starts near Macalister Park and runs along these roads with feeder streams in Mornington and Southgate as well. cycle-lanes cycling islandbay transport sport places media Sat, 28 Sep 2024 00:00:00 GMT https://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=164088 Wellington Scoop 2024-09-28T00:00:00Z -41.3322495 174.7716525 Island Bay, Wellington, Wellington City, Wellington, New Zealand/Aotearoa https://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=142338 At last some cheerful news. Heritage is back with a capital H – the Wellington City Council has voted in favour of not only retaining but also rebuilding the open-air Khandallah Pool in Khandallah Park. khandallah swimming places sport media Fri, 04 Feb 2022 00:00:00 GMT https://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=142338 Wellington Scoop 2022-02-04T00:00:00Z -41.246742 174.7905885 Khandallah, Wellington, Wellington City, Wellington, 6035, New Zealand https://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=138358 rugby sport media Sun, 15 Aug 2021 00:00:00 GMT https://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=138358 Wellington Scoop 2021-08-15T00:00:00Z http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=136655 The last decade has seen a fierce debate about the role of cycleways in our city’s overall transport infrastructure. Those opposed present them as a luxury for a small number of people at high cost while inconveniencing others. Those supportive point out the potential cycle mode share (over 50% in some overseas cities) and the huge improvements this level of cycling can make in health, our city’s liveability, and climate change. cycleway cycling cycle-lanes transport sport media Thu, 03 Jun 2021 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=136655 Wellington Scoop 2021-06-03T00:00:00Z http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=132273 Biking around the bays is a stunning ride. But it could be ruined if traffic trebles. Cyclists will be forced off the road. Next Wednesday, Wellington City Councillors vote on a proposal to develop Shelly Bay, permitting a giant housing and shopping development. But there’s no plan to upgrade Shelly Bay Road. That could mean 3-4 vehicles every minute along a narrow road, trying to pass on blind corners. Cyclists could be expected to share a 1.5 metre path with pedestrians. cycling sport media Sat, 07 Nov 2020 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=132273 Wellington Scoop 2020-11-07T00:00:00Z http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=128626 cycling sport media Thu, 04 Jun 2020 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=128626 Wellington Scoop 2020-06-04T00:00:00Z
