Light Rail, Golden Mile should come first
The Green Party supports the proposal to make the Golden Mile car free with only public transport, but said Wellington should give priority to light rail and pedestrian space in the Golden Mile now, not in 10 to 20 years. Wellington Mayor Kerry Prendergast today called for private cars to be banned from the Golden Mile within 10 to 20 years.
