Wellington CBD to Airport - second Mount Victoria Tunnel and upgrades to Basin Reserve/Arras Tunnel
Kinda looks like we will be getting this no matter what. About bloody time, too.
I’m with you on the philosophy, it’s totally flawed to say “we have a traffic problem so let’s build more roads”, the Hutt is tragic on the weekends in no small part due to the fact the trains are always not running for maintainece, plus there’s no good transport out to wainui etc.
If you spend all your time building roads then people will tightly use those roads. Population of Welly isn’t even that big and it’s full to the brim with cars. Huge cars that are unnecessary and badly driven.
Remove cars from the roads should be the ultimate goal. Some jobs require vehicles and they should be on the roads but a vast majority commute into the town and then sit in an office all day.
We absolutely need school buses and stop parents picking up kids from schools.
Would likely be a good idea to get shuttle buses to pick up commutes too. We don’t all need to drive our utes and SUVs to the city centre every single day. C’mon now.
