On Tuesday 11 May Let’s Get Wellington Moving will kick-start its three-year programme with public and community engagement on proposed changes to Thorndon Quay and Hutt Road.
The proposed changes will improve walking and cycling, make bus journeys more reliable and enhance the experience for everyone that uses Thorndon Quay and Hutt Road. The project is one of the initial stages of Let’s Get Wellington Moving’s plan to move more people with fewer vehicles and create a more liveable city.
Thorndon Quay and Hutt Road is a gateway to the city. It is the busiest bus route outside of the city centre and Wellington’s busiest cycle route. On an average weekday there are more than 6,000 bus passengers and up to 1,300 cyclists. This is forecast to grow significantly over the next 20 years, so we need to make changes now to prevent worsening congestion, address safety concerns and prioritise the road space for the next 20 years.
