LGWM Consultation close tomorrow
A quick reminder to review the latest Let's Get Wellington Moving plan as feedback closes tomorrow.

It is a confusing document but please persevere as for the most part it assumes Wellington has a Mediterranean climate and that somehow installing boulevards will make public transport more effective and the streets safer. Something that certainly hasn't happened around Te Aro park.
Massive amounts of street access closures and reductions in car parks are proposed. If you're happy carrying your six bags of groceries home on the bus or bicycle then feel free to support it. Otherwise the main beneficiaries appear to be the shareholders in parking buildings.
As a person who uses public transport 80% of the time and also owns a bicycle, I see this latest proposal as something that will rip the soul out of the CBD, gridlock traffic - including public transport, and the only direction it will get Wellington moving is, out of Wellington.

Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
