Wellington bike parking, Council e-petition?

**Eddieb** · 6th October 2009, 06:53

I wonder if this is a worthy option to pursue, create a petition on the councils own website and get everyone to vote for more spaces?

Go for it. It will at least create awareness of how big an issue parking is to the Wellington Biking community.

Good idea.

Wellington City Council should not only provide additional motorcycle parking, but actively promote Wellington as a the motorcycling commuters' capital. This would relieve considerable congestion from commuters bringing their cars into the CBD.

I think you should mention something about the fact many motorcycles can fit into one car space.

You'll definitely get a lot of support.

This thread needs a "bump".. it has been around for a while without the petition being started - now its running, it needs to be bought to the attention of KBers and others in the region.

Can a Mod change the title to "Petition Now ON" or similar ?

Yes, I think its worth it. It worked for a person I know who petitioned for barriers between bike spaces and car parks. The response from WCC was efficient and in a few weeks they put the barriers up. The only thing wasthey decided to extend the bike parking to the end of the street not long after that so had to take them down again - not so cost effective but the end result was good.
