Key elements: a new no-right turn from Nuffield St onto Remuera Rd; then on Broadway itself, only allow filtered access for some modes, e.g. Bike lanes can also be installed along Broadway, providing another healthy and safe alternative to driving. The Main Act – A Transit MallAs already mentioned, my thinking is to only allow bus, cycle and small-wheeled traffic through Broadway between Morrow St and Remuera Rd. This also allows you to close the slip lane (and left turns) from Remuera Rd into Broadway. Broadway is a major bus corridor as has been discussed so it should have solid bus lanes throughout.

A baby goes through around 5,500 nappy changes in their first 2 and a half years, but that doesn’t mean you have to send 5,500 expensive disposable nappies to landfill... think of the cost! There is a whole lot of ‘stuff’ you don’t need when having a baby! Your ticket cost includes a starter pack including a couple of cloth nappies, reusable pouches and more, that when paired with what you’ll learn will help you get started right away! I learned so much and she made me realize there is no need to be perfect we just need to all do something”
