@benny_bee e.g. in Wellington: Building from Streets for People and already having the highest public transport use in the country, Wellington City Council is now focusing on uplifting Kilbirnie and Lyall Bay by creating walkable neighbourhoods and delivering green and healthy school travel through their Paneke Poneke bike network programme.

@patrickmorgan @benny_bee This will be awesome to see. Meanwhile in Rotorua: "cycleway to be removed for car parks" https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/ldr/478562/rotorua-cycleway-to-be-removed-for-car-parks so this isn't all one way traffic.

Twenty-nine car parks removed seven years ago as part of Rotorua's "Green Corridor" cycleway are set to return as a stretch of the cycleway is removed.
