Why does voting for labour involve getting more Ray Chung? Is him getting a chair is labour endorsement of his vile actions?

What a fantastic Public Transport project this is turning out to be!

Also did AT have capital projects stripped from them?

4 billion dollars, 10 minutes faster trips in best case scenario….most of that time saving will be from further punishing people corssing Vivian and Author streets.

And it will be on the backs of making pedestrians wait much longer rather than these tunnels.
October 20, 2025 at 7:05 PM
MPs in Central east Auckland and trucking companies maybe?
October 20, 2025 at 5:51 AM
Pedestrian access and safety is waste of money? Looks like doing nothing saved tens of millions here.

If you want to demolish somthing, the Boyd Wilson flats are right there.
September 29, 2025 at 8:55 AM
The bridge existing is better for pedestrians than it being not there.

This council appears to not care at all about pedestrians safety.
September 29, 2025 at 5:51 AM
Why were you all in such a rich to spend $40 million to rip this down?

When are fences coming down?
September 29, 2025 at 5:50 AM
What are your plans to mitigate the loss of Sea to City bridge for pedestrians?
September 15, 2025 at 10:04 PM
Ok if you must destroy it, replace it as you do so.

Can we have this heavy handed attitude to towards the uesless eyesore “heritage” buildings please? Rip down the Boyd Willson flats. They are dangerous and there are squatters there at risk.

Fantastic news for Wellington Pedestrians a safer much safer way to cross a huge road…. or let me guess you will keep fencing up?

Is Greater Wellington still aiming for its Vision Zero goals for 2030?
September 2, 2025 at 4:46 AM
Yes it is substantially less important than the Wild West of car centric planning. If you are trying to mitigate harm.

That is the worst case scenario of 6 report btw
September 2, 2025 at 3:09 AM
In a 1 in a 500 year earthquake, maybe. Says one report out 6.

Meanwhile people get killed on the roads all the time and they don’t care at all.
September 2, 2025 at 2:55 AM
A pedestrian got killed in Welling ton Yesterday. Zero earthquake deaths tho.
September 2, 2025 at 2:03 AM
Because you can get hit by a car and die.

The sea to city is vastly faster than begging two lights.
September 2, 2025 at 2:03 AM
$40 million is being pissed away to make Wellington have worse pedestrian infrastructure. But a road will be “safe”.
September 2, 2025 at 1:32 AM
They could put a pedestrian corssing acorss that side road to make it more accessible. They are not.
September 2, 2025 at 1:31 AM
There were 6 different reports on this bridge, one of them vaguely reckoned that in 1/500 year earthquake this might be an issue if it fell, because it might block the road for a bit.
September 2, 2025 at 12:49 AM
That is meaningless. Where political desire to fund a replacement? Ben is clear that he does not care about this critical pedestrian link. He is pretty much bosting about it being removed and pedestrians outcomes getting worse.

This sort of stuff only happens with pedestrian infrastructure.
September 1, 2025 at 12:30 PM
For a like an hour, in a catastrophic earthquake where the seal level might have risen above the roads roads level?
September 1, 2025 at 12:22 PM
I feel incredibly unenthusiastic about Little/Labour mayoralty, I assume turn out will be dead low.

Also can we please not have another round of golden mile.
September 1, 2025 at 8:08 AM
Zero engineers are saying the bridge must go now.

The danger of bridge falling in a massive earthquake, was to danger to the perceived economic out put of the road, not harm to people.

In a climate crisis, $40 mill is being spent to make Wellington more safe for cars and less pedestrian friendly
