Recently Wellington's mayor announced an exciting new vision for the City. (After all election time is coming up.) She suggested we should plan to make the CBD free of private cars - in 20 years time. A round of applause if it means somehow the elderly and disabled still have easy access to the centre and working mums and dads can still pick up their kids quickly at the end of the day and tiny tots from creche don't have to wait in the rain for a bus.
However I can't help thinking that concentrating our vision on a rosy future is a distraction from a pressing problem at hand. How is the Council going to get people to and from the airport when the Victoria tunnel is closed for upgrading? It's hard enough now as more and more of the day, even in the weekend, resembles a peck hour shambles.
