This is urgently needed! If our city is to move forward in a fashion that is sustainable, we must implement this as soon as possible. For far too long, cars have dominated NZ roads and have received a grossly over-inflated share of funding. Now that we are facing the realities of climate change, peak oil, a worsening obesity crisis, and worsening congestion, it is time for city planners to accept that cycling is the most efficient way for people to move around the city. Creating a road network that highly priorities cycling and public transport and actively discourages private car use is the key to growing Wellington into a sustainable and liveable city of the 21st century.
