Should Queen Street be car-free?
Major roading upgrades are set to get underway on Queen Street which the council says will improve pedestrian spaces.
The work is set to begin on Monday between Shortland and Customs streets, limiting traffic to a single lane each way and with bus priority in the evening peak.
Some have expressed their concerns for the project including a group of businesses and landlords calling itself Save Queen. The group applied for an interim injunction to halt the council's planned Queen St upgrade and a High Court Judge will decide whether to approve the injunction later today.
Should the upgrade go even further and ban passenger vehicles altogether? Let us know in the comments and don't forget to type NFP if you don't want your comment used in your local community paper.

Students Nikita Sharma, Celia Lee and Jenny Zhong were chosen to design and paint one panel of the three-section mural after an invitation by Study Auckland.
The goal was to give international students the chance to work with renound artists Ross Liew, Hana Maihi of Ngati Whatua Orakei and Te Whetu Collective member Poi Ngawati and experience crafting public art.
The other two panels have been painted by Maihi and Ngawati to create awareness of the rich Māori heritage on which the city was founded.
The three panels depict the importance of welcoming different cultures in Tamaki Makaurau and Te Tōangaroa, an area spanning from the end of Britomart to The Strand.
The biodiversity that once characterised the cultural landscape of Te Tōangaroa and Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei’s history as mana whenua of Tāmaki have also been highlighted in the mural design.
Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei Whai Rawa cultural design executive Mei Hill said other Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei initiatives were planned to reinvigorate the cultural footprint of Te Tōangaroa.
“Sharing the journey of Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei through art is just the beginning of how we intend to bring to life the masterplan for Te Tōangaroa. Our vision is a space where the people of Tāmaki can come together and enjoy and respect the culture and environment this city and its people have to offer,” Hill said.

The Stardome Observatory and Planetarium is running three special planetarium shows at 6pm, 7.30 pm and 9 pm tonight to commemorate the anniversary of the Star Wars movie.
The best selling film actually first screened in theatres on May 25.
Star Wars Day initially started on May 4 as a running joke, stemming from the pun, "May the Fourth be with you".
It was a play on words sparked by the popular movie line, "May the Force be with you," used by the characters to wish comrades good luck.
But the date stuck and Stars Wars Day has been celebrated on May 4 since 2011.
Bookings are essential for the events at the venue in One Tree Hill, Auckland.
Dress up as your favourite Star Wars character to go in the draw for some epic prizes.
Stormtroopers from the 501st Legion will be scouring the crowd for Rebel scum – but if you use your Jedi mind tricks you may be able to sneak past them to pose for photos.
You’ll then be treated to a special edition of Our Night Sky inside the planetarium, voyaging from nearby stars and planets to galaxies far, far away.
Everyone is welcome, even if you’ve gone to The Dark Side.

Its owners, the United Church of Tonga, claim the land’s significance as home to the first Tongan congregation in New Zealand is being neglected by Auckland Council, in favour of its history as an orphanage, preventing the site from being developed.
Because of the building's status as a category one historic place and a stalemate with Auckland Council, Carlile House cannot be repaired or demolished.
However, the situation has recently become of higher concern to both parties, following the recent partial collapse of the building’s roof.

Would anyone happen to have about 1000 - 2000 matching clothes/ coat hangers ex retail ...its a long shot but I thought I'd post on the off chance that someone might have some stored in a garage somewhere and be able to sell cheap for a business with a charity component? Thanks in advance :)
