Dominion Road Business Association respond to light rail plans

From Morning Report, 8:21 am on 29 October 2021

The government and Auckland Council have just released three recommended options for Auckland's controversial light rail plan.

The first options is a tram running from central Auckland to the airport, the second would run through underground tunnels and the the third is a hybrid of the first two that is a tram running underground from Wynyard Quarter to Mt Roskill before coming up to street level.

Option three is the expert group's preferred choice. It comes at a cost of $14 billion.

The recommendations will be considered by Cabinet by the end of the year, but the Dominion Road Business Association's manager Gary Holmes thinks the plan could go horribly wrong.

He spoke to Corin Dann.
