From the Lets Get Wellington Moving website

The ‘Golden Mile’ is the main retail and commercial strip from the Parliament end of Lambton Quay, along Willis and Manners Streets, to the entertainment hub of Courtenay Place. The Golden Mile is a valuable asset for our city and region. It’s our high street, it’s where we meet, and it’s the main route for buses bringing people into and through the central city. It’s the city’s busiest pedestrian area and our prime employment, shopping, and entertainment destination.

About this project

Our goal at Let’s Get Wellington Moving, is to build a world-class, low-carbon capital city we can all be proud of, where more people can get around more easily and reliably, with streets that are beautiful and safe so that new housing and business will flourish. Wellington’s unique geography, compact city, and small number of road networks means we face unique transport challenges. To make improvements and create a more liveable central city, we must make decisions around how we use the space we have, which means moving more people with fewer vehicles.   
 
New and improved ways of getting around means we won’t need to depend on cars to access the central city as often, which will help make Wellington a more liveable city and cut back on our carbon emissions. This is about building a better future for the city, the region, it’s people and the planet.  
 
Revitalising areas of the Golden Mile will create a more vibrant and welcoming place to live, work and play as well as make it safer to get around.    
 
The Golden Mile project aims to improve bus reliability and provide opportunities for walking, cycling, and more open spaces. This means better lighting, wider footpaths, more public seating, outdoor dining opportunities and more.
