The light rail tunnel would stretch 21km, going from Wynyard Quarter all the way north to Albany

    Take out the road crossings, and take out the Light Rail tunnel from North Shore to Albany (instead convert the Northern Buswsy to Light Rail). With an improved PT corridor, you should expect to see less demand for the additional road crossing, and we should be thinking about more climate friendly options.

    And the Light Rail plan from CBD to Mangere should be on the surface along Dominion Road. I don’t get the obsession with tunnels. They are expensive and more difficult to access.

      Much more resilient though, how often do you hear of a tunnel being closed due to high winds?

        How often do you hear about a bridge flooding?

          Not very often, to be honest.
