Nine councillors have supported a call for private vehicles to be removed from Wellington’s central city in the next four years, as part of a move towards a fossil fuel-free city centre by 2025.
But on the city’s streets opinions are mixed, with cycle advocate Alex Dyer applauding the move, and the Chamber of Commerce hesitant to put hopes into another yet transport plan.
Councillor Tamatha Paul’s notice of motion, which was signed by eight other councillors and sent to chief executive Barbara McKerrow on Thursday, requires council staff to formally report back on the idea no later than September this year. ....

Wednesday, 7 April 2021, 5:30 am
Wellington Mayor Andy Foster is delighted that the draft
2021-31 Long-term Plan is out for
consultation.

centres on the much-needed investment in our infrastructure
that our city has been crying out for, and on solving
resilience issues,” he explains. “It is investment we
need to underpin a modern, dynamic, creative, sustainable
city.
“The capital programme is our largest to date,

levels. This does not include the additional $580 million
off-balance sheet responses for funding sludge treatment and ....

'If we're talking about a CBD, we're stuffed' - Wellington's big challenge

She says the future is converting increasingly empty commercial buildings into apartments to rent and own, and “a walkable, liveable neighbourhood where you can get most of the stuff you need to have a decent life within 15 minutes of active travel . and public transport”.
Figures from commercial real estate firm Colliers International show empty commercial space in the capital grew almost 17 per cent in the year to December 2020, from 84,000sqm to 98,000 sqm.

Isabella Cawthorn, from Talk Wellington, says more people living in the city centre will mean even more life and vibrancy in the capital.

Kevin Stent/Stuff

Auckland Transport released plans this week which would ban end-to-end traffic from Queen St by mid-2021. Why have changes to Wellington’s Golden Mile taken so much longer? Joel MacManus reports.
The 2.4 kilometre ‘’Golden Mile’’ from Lambton Quay to the end of Courtenay Place is not only the heart of Wellington’s nightlife and retail but is the central spine of the public transport network.
Almost 95 per cent of buses in Wellington’s centre city pass through the Golden Mile and, on average, other vehicles delay each trip by an average of 3 minutes and 40 seconds. ....
