Greens' transport plan a game-changer for Wellington
Cycling advocates have welcomed a new plan from the Green Party to address Wellington's transport issues.
"This policy raises the bar for cycling in Wellington," said James Burgess, Chairman of Cycle Aware Wellington.
"$80m over five years on cycleways would be a game-changer in meeting high public demand."
Since the 2006 Census, cycling in Wellington has grown by 73 percent, despite no significant spending.
