Please message me to organise pickup from Swan Lane in Wellington. They need to be gone by next week and if they're not taken they will be put into the landfill which is something I want to avoid.
Thanks,

Traffic chaos ahead!

Watch for traffic chaos when the WCC closes two lanes of Bowen/Whitmore to create bus/cycle lanes.

Watch for traffic chaos when the WCC closes two lanes of Bowen/Whitmore to create bus/cycle lanes.

Imagine traffic backed up on Tinakori Rd and Glenmore Streets to Karori Village and to Thorndon Quay/Hutt Rd. That's my prediction.

Why? Because presently two lanes on Tinakori Rd east bound and two lanes west bound feed seamlessly into FOUR LANES on Bowen Street. Those four lanes disperse readily into a further eight lanes in the city.

Removing two lanes in this arterial route will create a chokepoint for commuters from the Western and Northern suburbs. They'll be spending hours every week in stationary traffic.

Even worse, busses will be stopping in the traffic lane to load passengers!

The WCC expects us all to migrate to bikes, this can only be described as a Green fantasy. I'm already on my bike and have garaging for my vehicles so l won't be affected, but l feel sorry for my neighbours.

But I'm astonished that the tens of thousands of affected commuters aren't up in arms over this Green folly, though they will be when it's in place!

I may be wrong but we're spending millions of dollars and we'll probably finish up with another Island Bay style fiasco.

Emergency notification calls

However it's my impression that it's something that one needs to register for and it operates on the mobile phone networks. I've just had a call on our landline from a very well-spoken ordinary English/Kiwi-sounding woman warning about some sort of emergency. We're not registered for any such system and as I didn't trust it, I hung up immediately. Has anyone else had this type of call? I'm used to the ones purportedly from Spark or Microsoft warning of computer gloom and doom, but one suggesting pending natural disaster is new to me.
