      • ‘The proposed solution for the Great Harbour Way link from Petone to Ngauranga would cost $14million. That’s far too much money to spend on cycling and keeping people safe. The money would be much better spent on the Levin to Airport expressway. After all, it is expected to cost $3,400million and that cost seems to be increasing, so money shouldn’t be frittered away on little projects! That $14million would cover the cost of interest on the Levin to Airport RONS for about 25 days (less of course if the RONS costs keep going up). Of course, if the Transport Agency left the money in the bank for a month more than they planned, they’d be able to pay for this little cycleway and be no worse off. But really … ’
      • ‘Perhaps the User Behaviour Manager has something to do with the spy car? Otherwise how does she manage road users who are misbehaving? ’
      • ‘Yes, the NZTA is disingenuous when it says it supports cycling. Its 1950s culture is all about building new highways and motorways in the guise of making the country more efficient – which we all know is complete bullshit because new motorways simply attract more cars and further congestion. And even if it was to have a epiphany and start promoting cycling, the present government’s love affair with new road building won’t allow it. This is all rather ironic because both the frames of the former transport minister, Steven Joyce, and the present one, Gerry Brownlee, would undoubtedly benefit from a few rides along a Welly harbour cycleway. ’

  • Summer fairs are here

    • After the rush of pre-Christmas shopping when it’s all about everyone else and the right present for the right person and being lovely and selfless, it’s rather nice when summer fair season rolls around.

    • WCC Watch
      • Welcome to WCC Watch. The idea is pretty simple. Basically, the coverage of the upcoming (Sept-Oct) Wellington City Council elections are going to be sporadic at best. There are a multitude of personalities at play, some smart, bold, dynamic candidates, and some total fruit bars. I’ll be trying to cover everything I can to follow the election.
