742604 2009-01-28 06:42:00 Bugger the jaffas, what about spending some of those billions on Wellingtons roads which have been dangerously inadequate for decades.
Funny how nobody else around the country hears anything about Aucklands new motorways until they're a fait accompli, eh!

742605 2009-01-28 06:47:00 Wellington roads are deliberately made the way they are to prevent any mass exodus should the denizens of that area suddenly have an attack of sanity. Admittedly unlikely, but it is best to be prepared. ;) R2x1 (4628)
742606 2009-01-28 08:28:00 Not worth wasting too much money on infrastructure esp roads in Wellington.
Because next earthquake which is overdue is going to wreck the place.
Wait till earthquake then build the multilane motorways and through transmission gully.
That way we will get 150 years of use before the next big shake.
What they are doing now and plan to do in Auckland is simply finish the motorway system by connecting them, should have been all done in early 1960s.

742607 2009-01-28 09:54:00 As Jen has said, it's ****ing retarded that in order to reach NZ's major international airport, one needs to drive through back roads. It definitely needs doing. roddy_boy (4115)
742608 2009-01-28 17:55:00 Are they going to 4-lane all of Whakatu Drive Wratt??

No Nelson and Tasman councils cannot agree on anything to do with traffic, Nelsons problem is all the traffic coming in from Richmond (Tasman) Tasman denies this and doesn't want to help sort it out. They cannot amalgamate the two councils soon enough unfortunately it will not be for another few years yet. All Nelson needs is a foot bridge or two one at the hospital, boys college and another down by Hampden St school and the traffic will flow

The link has been planned for over 20 years - but the "final" discussions-reviews-local consultations-iwi consultations etc have been going for over 4 years (at exhorbitant cost)... and they still haven't finalised the route!
Just do whats best for Auckland and the region.
