Change to Karangahape Road bus lane

Press Release: Auckland City Council

24 November 2004

From today, citybound motorists driving along Karangahape Road will notice a change to the bus lane east and west of Day Street.

The section east of Day Street has been extended by 50 metres making it more accessible for buses. The section west of Day Street has been removed, allowing for more parking.

The added section will stop parked cars causing delays for buses accessing the lane.

The change will improve bus travel times along Karangahape Road in peak traffic and benefit cyclists, who are able to bypass traffic queues by using the lane.

Auckland City’s previous transport committee approved the change to the bus lane in June 2004.

Gordon Campbell: On The Left’s Electability Crisis, And The Abundance Ecotopia

Basically, centre-left opposition parties that have recently been in government are struggling to find an identity in an era where they are still detested by many of the voters they need to win over, to be re-elected. The “Bash the Rich” messaging may have all but passed its use-by date, given that is coming from people seen to be relatively privileged. To win over its populist antagonists, the centre left needs a change that more closely aligns with populist sentiment, without simply following along behind it. Such a change is easier said than imagined, let alone done.
