This would be amazing for anyone heading out to the bays or Wellington Airport, no intersections or lights to worry about, and it would make life so much easier for the CBD as well, not having so much through traffic in the CBD.

Definitely should dig a second one for rail as well.

Do a first one for rail and then if it really seems necessary maybe we can discuss one for cars

Rail should go first. Or pedestrians.

Sure, but hopefully the car tunnel entrance won't cost too much to tear down when people realise it's a waste of land later

Tearing down the Wellington Urban Motorway would probably be better value for money.

Wellington isn't shrinking though.
