But Welly is still haunted by a dinosaur 1960s motorway extension to be fast-tracked through the heart of the city. @julieannegenter.greens.org.nz @yadana.bsky.social https://www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/360901188/pass-my-ass-fight-revived-accusation-sham-nzta-feedback?fbclid=IwY2xjawObFHRleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZBAyMjIwMzkxNzg4MjAwODkyAAEe3MYpWWrCMHHXnHaxLkZn-Aq1igZeNvlgwXA_EslS_5cev0Edgzc5D9ojX4M_aem_hR67xtH5hQ76Ah8tdvaRqg02 Dec 2025 00:48 +0000at://did:plc:vrf5qon4pttittyuxczro6p7/app.bsky.feed.post/3m6xptwh7d225https://bsky.app/profile/lauriefoon.bsky.social/post/3m622ikmumc2aPeople centred multi generational investment actually works!

Cities across Aotearoa & the world are revitalising their centres, attracting people back into them. We'll now put NZTA funding at risk, & costs only ever increase. We need to ask how we do it? Not say let's review it! https://www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/360893048/golden-mile-cost-blows-out-25m-council-considers-pausing-project20 Nov 2025 04:27 +0000at://did:plc:vrf5qon4pttittyuxczro6p7/app.bsky.feed.post/3m5zwizjsmk2bhttps://bsky.app/profile/lauriefoon.bsky.social/post/3m4gz7b6hds2rLots of awhi and aroha in this shot!

Just about half of this reduction is from on-road emissions due to changes the city has made. Ka Rawe! No mean feat!30 Oct 2025 21:25 +0000at://did:plc:vrf5qon4pttittyuxczro6p7/app.bsky.feed.post/3m4gvlpz7tk26https://bsky.app/profile/lauriefoon.bsky.social/post/3m32jgql6c227Thanks @julieannegenter.greens.org.nz!
