This, it argues, would divert cars away from the central city and leave more room for public and active transport. In fact, it would tunnel a four lane road all the way under Te Aro and extend those four lanes from the planes to Levin. Nicola Willis, was all over the city’s “bustastrophe” and her billboards are all over the city’s main arterial roads, because National wants a second Mt Vic road tunnel first, ahead of any other major work based around the Let’s Get Welly Moving plan. It’s transport spokesperson Chris Bishop is based in Hutt Valley. Rongotai MP Paul Eagle has weighed into the cycleway issue from time to time, mostly to question the removal of car parks to make room for bikes.Ĭompare that with National.

Where is the strong Labour voice on Wellington transport? Grant Robertson has spoken about problems with the city’s reorganised bus system (I quietly hope his bus driver partner keeps him well briefed) but he’s rather busy with the nation’s finances these days. What can we glean from Labour’s three years in office? Good in a crisis, but when the going gets politically difficult the policy gets dropped? If Covid 19 is evidence of the former, is the fate of its 2017 policy to bring Light Rail to Auckland an example of the latter? Only the Greens stopped this from doubling in size… If you believe National MP (and Wellington Central candidate Nicola Willis) that’s only because its Green Party partner lobbied for RMT ahead of another couple of lanes for traffic.

Of course, every politician is time-poor when campaigning is in full flight, but it was a shame none of these parties felt cyclists were mainstream enough to warrant a few hours attention.Īs Act, Labour and National didn’t turn up, I could ignore them, but given all three will (at the very least) have representatives in Parliament, it’s probably useful to provide a summary of their policies on bikes in particular and Wellington transport in general.Ī week after the meeting, Act came back to me with this policy statement ACT couldn’t find time in anyone’s diary either. Neither Labour, or National sent a candidate along. Seemed like the perfect opportunity for another Traffic Jam blog, especially as yours truly was the MC. With voting for the 2020 general election underway, Bicycle Junction hosted a candidates debate focusing (mostly) on two-wheeled transport in Wellington.
