Wellington City Council

I support the Let's Get Wellington Moving transformational programme, but we must balance vision with pragmatism when it comes to mode choice, cost and disruption.

However you choose to get around, it must be safe and effective. We need roads fixed, better cycling/walking and reliable public transport.

Prioritizing infrastructure investment for our ward, such as investigating a second Karori tunnel and working to improve traffic congestion.

Support low-cost public transport. Train or bus connectivity from Masterton to Wellington airport and Levin to Wellington airport.

Balance transport spending to much better reflect Wellington travels. Promote use of e-bikes, vehicles. affordable parking outside city.

At present cancel the building of bicycle lanes. In future, if required – at affordable construction cost involving public feedback.

Support sensible/practical improvements to transport networks and services to improve resilience and reduce congestion and emissions.

Promise to bring a strong community perspective to the council and to be an informed, positive voice.

Oppose making specific promises without having good advice, all the information, and recognising council decisions need to be made jointly.

Connect communities by supporting Greater Wellington Regional Council to expand bus networks.

Deliver complete cycle routes along essential corridors.

Collaborate with communities to resolve the shortfalls in walking infrastructure.

Improve the reliability of public transport! Residents will take this if it's reliable but if buses continue to be cancelled, they won't.

Ensure adequate parking is available for areas where they're needed such as around the botanical gardens and businesses where people shop.

Engage in genuine consultation with all parties when cycle lanes are proposed. Improve footpaths and street lighting in suburban streets.

Introduce a shared governance committee with GWRC and Waka Kotahi/NZTA to lead and improve the city's bus network reliability and frequency.

Adjust the settings of the LGWM partner agreement and project delivery to bring forward the Basin improvements and the second Mt Victoria tunnel.

Replan and reschedule LGWM Golden Mile changes. This will enable a more cohesive and sequenced plan for pedestrians, public transport and local businesses.

Make our streets safe, welcoming, and accessible for all users, including creating low traffic neighbourhoods and reducing speeds.

Complete the bike network plan to ensure everyone can bike around our city safely, and trial secure community storage facilities for bikes.

Accelerate Let's Get Wellington Moving to reduce our transport emissions faster, in line with the Emissions Reduction Plan.

Commit to providing the best possible public transport network, with more bus lanes and reduced (or no) charges prices in off-peak times.

Stop the cycle network, except where clearly justified. Work to improve cycling safety based on shared roads and driver awareness.

Require the needs of the elderly, disabled, and mobility challenged to be taken into account in all bus and roading/parking plans.

Push for faster progress on the next phase of Let's Get Wellington Moving.

Establish more bus priority lanes across the city.

Roll out the full cycle network across the city to ensure safer journeys and to provide separation where possible from pedestrians.

Reduce the timeframe for the completion of the Let's Get Wellington Moving plan.

Commit to providing more charging facilities for electric vehicles.

Give greater consideration to pedestrians and those with reduced mobility to transit and road planning.
