The Golden Mile is the heart of our city, it runs from Lambton Quay, through Willis and Manners Streets to Courtenay Place. The Golden Mile is a busy and core part of our Wellington bus network, bringing 36,000 people to, through and from the city every weekday. It’s also the city’s busiest area for people walking, with nearly 31,000 of us walking along part of it during a typical workday.

We love our busy and buzzy city centre but on a normal day, it’s also congested. Footpaths are overcrowded, buses get stuck behind cars (or have to weave around badly parked ones) and there’s not much room for people on bikes.

With 50,000-80,000 people expected to call Wellington city home within the next 30 years, we need to start fixing the problems causing congestion and crowding now.

With your help, the Golden Mile project team has been working through issues on the Golden Mile and creating a vision for how it could be better.
