Dianne Calvert: Wellington Councillor on finding alternative parking solutions
Wellington City council has agreed to buy 474 off-street car parks — to offset revenue loss from carparks taken off the street.
They voted yesterday to purchase Tory Street's Century city parking building for 13 million dollars.
Meanwhile, hundreds of on-street spaces have been removed in the CBD to make way for sustainable transport options such as cycleways.
Councillor Dianne Calvert says it's not just about revenue.
She says it's more about finding alternative solutions if Let's Get Wellington Moving removes car parks off the street.
