Press Release – Living Streets Aotearoa
Around the world, people celebrate Jane Jacobs’ urbanist legacy in early May. Due to Covid-19, only a few walks could happen in real life rather than virtually in 2021. In Wellington, Living Streets Wellington leader Ellen Blake and founder and former Mayor Celia Wade-Brown decided that Wellington’s walkability is a tribute to urbanist thinking already and could become even better. Join us on Friday 7th May at 12:15 pm.
Ellen Blake says: “Jane Jacobs was an inspirational woman whose activism in favour of street life rather than huge projects and motorways still rings true.” Ms Blake says, “With Let’s Get Wellington Moving at last considering various improvements for people on foot, time is ripe to promote some critical opportunities we see, such as giving pedestrians far higher priority from the Railway Station to Featherston Street.”
The Ngauranga-to-Petone shared pathway project has been fast-tracked. First published September 2019.
Nearly a year to the day after cyclist Brent Norriss was hit and killed by a car on State Highway 2 as he travelled home from Wellington to the Hutt Valley, the long-awaited $130 million shared pathway linking Petone with Ngauranga has been fast-tracked. The announcement on Friday that construction on the 5 metre-wide cycle and walkway, stretching 4.5 kilometres along the coast next to the Hutt Valley Railway Line and the highway, could begin midway through this year has been welcomed by active transport advocates. As well as making the commute between the central city and Lower Hutt easier and safer, it is hoped the cycle and walkway could draw more international tourists to the Wellington region after the Covid-19 pandemic.
