Lets Get Moving Quickly
Let's forget that I am a Wellingtonian. What I want as a person residing in the region outside of the city is for Wellington to get moving quickly and make up somewhat for lost time and opportunity.
I see Wellington city as the place where there is an airport that should be fully international, a general and specialist public hospital, sports stadium and arena, an army of large stylish theatres, home of the national museum, the Botanical Gardens, the Courtenay Place entertainment strip, a port with a beautiful waterfront, Government Central, Universities, a movie making hub and so on.
So does the new -old plan that the Labour Government is just now pushing for with a 2028 start, fit the bill?
No. For really one reason only: there has to be a double lane tunnel thru Mt Vic available to all traffic (or two devoted lanes each way for all traffic) .
And I am not fussed with light rail from Wellington Station to Island Bay when a rapid bus service would suffice and the savings go towards other initiatives.
