- Description
Mayor of Wellington Celia Wade-Brown is on her bike and declares 'I'm the mayor. I'm in charge. It's my way or the highway' Nearby is a 'WCC' (Wellington City Council) car being driven by a councilor who says 'In that case we'll take the highway, thanks' Context - The biggest test of Celia Wade-Brown's mayoralty is looming tonight (20 April) as her opponents try to force the city council into supporting the Government's options for $2.4 billion of roading projects for the region.Ms Wade-Brown, who campaigned against roading projects during last year's election, backed previous council commitment of support, but in principle only. She would rather see bus priority lanes at the Basin Reserve than a flyover, and wants a light rail system between the railway station and airport, via the hospital, within 10 years. extraordinary meeting has been called after a majority of councillors joined forces in an effort to reassure the Transport Agency that it has council support for projects including a possible flyover to the north of the Basin Reserve, duplicate Terrace and Mt Victoria tunnels, and making Ruahine St and Wellington Rd four lanes. (Dompost 20 April 2011) Wellington Mayor Celia Wade-Brown has welcomed last night's (20 April) vote by the City Council confirming its support for the New Zealand Transport Agency's Ngauranga to Wellington Airport Corridor Plan. The Council has agreed to support the underlying premise that the transport issues within Wellington city can only be addressed by the implementation of a multi-modal package. (Scoop 21 April 2011)
