Subject: Official Information request - SH1 Wellington Improvements Road of National Significance: bus travel time reductions
[You don't often get email from [email address]. Learn why this is important at https://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentification ]
Dear New Zealand Transport Agency,
Re NZTA document MIN 4667 SH1 Wellington improvements dated 10 October 2024, which defines those improvements as "the Second Mt Victoria Tunnel and Basin Reserve Upgrade including the Terrace Tunnel duplication", I request the following information:
1. Bus travel time savings
A bullet point on the third page says the following:
"SH1 Wellington improvements are forecast to contribute to the 11 minutes of travel time savings for Bus Route 1 in the AM peak between Island Bay and the city centre. SH1 Wellington improvements to the east of Mt Victoria Tunnel are forecast to contribute to the 9 minutes of travel time savings for Bus Route 2 in the AM peak between Miramar and the city centre."
For each of these savings, I request the following information:
- all projects contributing to these savings;
- for each of those projects:
-- details of that project;
-- the savings contributed by that project;
-- the status of that project.
Please also let me have the same information for Bus Route 2 savings arising from the specified SH1 improvements, in addition to those arising from improvements to their east.
2. Plan of the improvements
I request a copy of Appendix A, including the plan showing the specified improvements, as referred to in a bullet point on the second page.
Yours faithfully,
Mike Mellor
