Wellington City council is fucking corrupt with a bunch of bullies and criminals .they own the whole dam city like some mafia and they don't give a fuck what you think
Was working as a Traffic controller at Manners/Cuba Pedestrian Lights at BURGERKING. on Monday 29th DEC 2010. My job was to show cars where to go down into Cuba street AWAY from the NEW bus lane.This was the first working day it was open. What I wasn't prepared for was how CRAZY pedestrians are walking out in front of Buses expecting Buses just to STOP! Two guys were knocked over (crossing to/from Burger king) no injury both NOT crossing at Pedestrians lights. PLEASE BE CAREFUL OUT THERE & LOOK
great sentiment and way to get your view out there!
Its a wonder nobody in Chch has done something similar.
After a fairly long fight the Council and businesses pushed through a change to the mid-city High St mall here where youngsters hung out, and tram lines have just been put through it.
Wasn't even in the name of efficient public transport, because its primarily for the tourists :(
Manners Mall was compensation for the Urban Motorway when it bi-sected the Bolton Street Cemetery and a deal struck between Muldoon and Fowler to pay back for the destruction of 50 hectares of heritage land and buildings in Thorndon. Manners Mall is registered in the District Plan 48 appendix 7 for "open space value" and has sunlight protection. The President of Living Streets Aotearoa Celia Wade-Brown now resigned killed the busiest pedestrian precinct in Wellington.and New Zealand.
As I understand it, buses will travel the whole length of Manners St both ways, from the end of Courtenay Place to the intersection of Manners & Willis Sts. Dixon St and Lower Cuba St won't be used for buses at all.
10th of December from 9.00pm come and go as you like or stay all night long...
Next day board the "Human Bus" in Manners Mall at 12.300pm departing for the Council Chambers in the Town Hall at 12.45pm bring a friend for the ride of a lifetime unlimited seats.
Manners Mall is and always will be sheltered from the elements unlike lower Cuba Street, unless you like having a picnic in a supermarket carpark you should stick with the staus quo and give it a make over.
you could go to emo valley? its near te aro school (wellington ofcourse)..... its lacking in emos, its got some lovely dark corners where your most welcome to sit and cry and cut the night away =D

Hey emo kids, Instead of using razors to give yourself superficial scratches - try sticking needles into yourselve's. Its more painful & leave's less scarring.

Restoration of the Wellington CBD's main public transport artery is vital for a sustainable future.
We can have our cake and eat it too by restoring public transport to Manners Mall, with no loss of people space, by extending Cuba Mall.
Cuba Street is sunnier, funkier and more people friendly than Manners Mall, which has become a desolate, cold hole.
Replace Manners Mall with an extension to Cuba Mall and have the best of both worlds!
