Yes, the contest is on, so yes, the 12B is in play. Roads wise, if Nats say here are RONS, you cant then say, "no, Nats said this so we wont do those as all are wrong". If both parties put together their own RONS then they will be very similar. National can provide their alternative for the 12B spend, whuch they will no doubt do at some point. It better not be tax cuts.
We both know the Nats package will be the just the roads bit but with the costs blown out to eat up the full $12b 😄
I had high hopes that Bishop would see the light on things like SH16 - there's no more room to add any roads, so LRT/Rapid Transit Busway is really the only option for alternatives to driving - but I doubt it's going to happen.
Looks like most of the roading is in AKL. No doubt that will be the wrong roads :-), but I assume it will be a good thing up there. Here in ChCh we get almost zero, but thats ok, our Southern Motorway and Northern builds are well underway
Isnt the proposed LR already in planning so will go ahead anyway?
