Mark Blumsky - National Candidate for Wellington Central
25 July 2005
Transmission Gully Best option for Wellington
Transmission Gully is clearly the best long term solution for Wellington's traffic problems, and it has my full support
says Mark Blumsky.
"National's policy makes the gully route affordable. If Wellingtonians want action on transport then they should vote
National.
"National has not only committed to moving all the Petrol Tax over to road funding but has also said it will work
actively to attract the private sector into funding new roading. The combination of these two policies would ensure
Transmission Gully was viable , even if some form of toll was needed.
"If we don't move ahead with Transmission Gully now, we're going to find ourselves having this debate in twenty years
time. Wellington can't afford to continue to have its growth constrained by inadequate investment in roading
infrastructure. Now is not the time for minimalist solutions.
"Wellington needs a strong voice on this issue, and I'm standing for Parliament for Wellington Central because that
voice hasn't been there when Wellington needed it, " Mark Blumsky says
