Wellington had a plan to kick cars off Lambton Quay during the day, as part of a project partly funded by the government and one of the first things to be axed by the new government. I think it's still going ahead but it's hard finding info on whether it's got the same plan or a different plan with the same name.

The Golden Mile, it's "started" at the courtenay place end but it's finally coming at the end of one mayorality, and will probably be a contentious issue in the up coming election.

Yeah, when writing this comment I looked back at articles and there were articles about the government pulling funding, about WCC voting on whether they would continue anyway, and articles about it being a joint project with NZTA (from after the announcement that the government had pulled out). I could see early articles saying the plan was to kick out cars during the day, but the later articles didn't mention it. It was all a bit confusing, and often contradictory.
