Temporary cycling lanes on trial
Creating safer and more enjoyable journeys along Knights Road is the goal of a five week trial of a new road layout.
The trial aims to test the temporary layout and includes two temporary lanes for cycling, scooting and other active transport modes, speed cushions and signage to encourage slower speeds around the Waterloo intersection and changes to parking and median strip.
Knights Road has been selected because it is a key link between public transport hubs, active transport modes and Lower Hutt’s CBD. A safer journey on this key route between Waterloo Station, the new Beltway cycle route and Lower Hutt’s CBD serves Lower Hutt residents of all ages regardless of how they chose to move around our city.
What do you think of the layout?
Begonia house to be demolished at botanic gardens
It's outrageous that the Wellington City Council are going to demolish the Begonia house at the Botanic gardens. This is an asset. One would have thought the green faction of the council would have supported fixing it. It's strange no one has questioned the price required to fix it. Cycle ways more important than begonia house i think not

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.
