Wellington councillors vote to scrap $139m Golden Mile project
Wellington City Council has voted to abandon the Golden Mile project that would have removed cars and expanded pedestrian and cycling infrastructure in the central city.
Wellington City councillors last month voted to abandon the $139 million Golden Mile project, which aimed to restrict vehicle access, widen footpaths and create a cycle lane in the city's central business district. A Dutch public transport expert has noted that Wellington is not alone in facing challenges with getting public transport systems operational and functioning effectively.
