Poll: Here’s a glimpse of Auckland Council’s vision for Queen Street. What are your thoughts?
Auckland Council has released a new design for its plan to upgrade Queen Street.
Footpaths will be widened by up to seven metres to from Customs Street to Mayoral Drive, and this layout will retrofitted to the northern section of Queen Street between Customs and Shortland Street.
Private cars will be blocked from travelling the length of Queen Street by introducing an Essential Vehicles Area (EVA) between Wellesley and Wakefield Streets.
This means only essential vehicles including buses, bikes, mopeds, motorcycles, goods and service vehicles and emergency vehicles will be allowed.
The vision is to change Queen Street into a place for people rather than cars. What are your thoughts?

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
