Traffic congestion around Queenstown and Wanaka is at tipping point, the district’s Shaping Our Futures board says. The board will host two interactive workshops at the end of this month to address frustrations about gridlocked roads. "Public transport in the Wakatipu is struggling to make an impact and is non-existent in the Wanaka area," he said. Let’s Explore Better Ways to Get Around" workshops will feature a panel of speakers followed by open discussion. Keynote speakers include WSP technical principal in travel behaviour change Louise Baker, and Charge About Queenstown will provide e-bikes to try.
