WCC MC Parking Proposal

[jimbo600]

Well it worked, From the good man Andy

Dear James

You'll be pleased to know that the proposal was defeated 7 votes (Crs
Pepperell, Cook, Gill, Shaw, Wade-Brown, Ruben, and Foster)
to 4 (Mayor Prendergast, Crs Morrison, Wain, Armstrong).

So the proposal for motorcylce fees is dumped.

Please though do take a look at what the draft plan has to say when it
is released in a few weeks time. There are a lot of important issues and
it would be great to hear from as many people as possible what they
think are the priorities, how we should/should not spend your money.
There are also all those Economic, Environmental, Social, Cultural,
Transport, Urban Development and Governance Strategies. They really are
important in shaping the city for the next few years, and in some cases
decades.

Kind Regards

Andy Foster
City Councillor
Urban Development Leader

Fantastic... just goes to show what you can do when we all club together eh...

Kudos to Puppetmaster for finding out about it in the first place.

So they're gonna start charging for motorcycle parking?

Perhaps if they're seriously thinking about this we should stage a protest...

Something like getting as many bikers together as possible and parking along the pavement in the city centre highstreet.... Wellington can do it outside the beehive or something, and us Aucklanders can clog up Queen Street.

I'm sure they'd soon change their minds.

PS. Email sent.

That's a serious good idea for a lot of things.

Spank her. Wellington is ruled by women. (Anyone remember The Two Ronnies? hmmm, second thoughts that's not funny...)

So Kerry voted for it! Riiiiight. How can she possibly do that considering the implications for traffick congestion, low-g.gas emissions and reduced parking demand!!! Is she in some other world? Surely she should be representing WCC's general aims and priorities as the mayor?
Argh.
