Transmission Gully and all that.

As a little boy, I remember heading out from my parents home on Bell Street and along to the far end of Tremewan Street to check out the houses due to be demolished for the start of the $270 million Transmission Gully project. Twenty years on those houses are still there, but I of course have moved on. (Along with my folks who live in Dunedin)

So when I hear Transmission Gully is dead, and a new option is being considered for a new road for the northern access to Wellington I only hope that a decision is made and it gets started instead of lost in thousands of words and reports and debates and submissions.

But I'm willing to bet that it will probably not happen for another 20 years.
