Push to scrap overhaul of Wellington's transport infrastructure

From Morning Report, 8:38 am on 23 June 2023

A major push to scrap the seven-point-four billion dollar Let's Get Wellington Moving project has the backing of the city's retail sector, or at least those from it who turned up to a public meeting held last night.

The project is a massive overhaul of the capital's transport infrastructure, including a potential light rail system to a second tunnel through Mount Victoria, bus lanes, and pedestrian improvements, along with the creation of more cycle lanes.

Retail New Zealand's public affairs manager Aime Hines spoke to Corin Dann.
