There are, however, many narrow no-exit roads in Wellington where residents&#8217; park faceing the "wrong way", and this either has no adverse safety implications or it actually increases road safety. It is requested that "reverse" or "wrong way" parking be made legal in all Wellington roads that are:
1) narrow and/or one lane, AND
2) no exit</description></item><item><title>Bring Back the Trams - Make Wellington a Pedestrian, Cycle and Tram friendly city.</title><link>http://www.wellington.govt.nz/haveyoursay/e-petitions/ep/details/34</link><guid>http://www.wellington.govt.nz/haveyoursay/e-petitions/ep/details/34</guid><pubDate>Tue, 06 May 2008 00:00:00 +1200</pubDate><description>I propose that the council conduct an extensive feasibility study into closing off the CBD to bus and car transport in order to replace it with Trams. Thus taking into account the threat of peak oil plus rising prices, climate change, air pollution and health (caused by transport emissions affecting city pedestrians), and the unresolved issues of high congestion. </description></item><item><title>Street Lighting of Middleton Road Between Glenside and Tawa</title><link>http://www.wellington.govt.nz/haveyoursay/e-petitions/ep/details/29</link><guid>http://www.wellington.govt.nz/haveyoursay/e-petitions/ep/details/29</guid><pubDate>Fri, 18 Apr 2008 00:00:00 +1200</pubDate><description>I am petitioning Council to provide adequate street lighting to Middleton Road between Glenside and Tawa. As a cyclist there is insufficient lighting to safely negotiate this stretch of road at night. There are a number of small slips each winter leaving rocks and debris strewn across the road and cycle lighting is not able to pick up these hazards until it is too late. This is the only stretch of road available to get from Wellington to Tawa and north. There are no alternatives.</description></item></channel></rss>
