Councillors at yesterday's Dunedin City Council meeting voted overwhelmingly in favour of progressing the idea by launching a special consultative procedure. The proposal, if approved, would restricted cars from in front of the railway station, from Anzac Ave to the entrance of the listed heritage building. Council transport group manager Richard Saunders cautioned against that, saying reintroducing vehicles after people got used to a new pedestrian mall would raise safety issues.
