Waka Kotahi voted last week to approve the government's share of funding for two major Let's Get Wellington Moving projects.
Work for the capital's Golden Mile and Thorndon Quay - Hutt Rd transformations will start in September.
This after the entire project survived a Wellington City Council vote in which seven councillors expressed no confidence.
Wellington city councillor and Let's Get Wellington Moving governance group member Tamatha Paul spoke to Charlotte Cook.
