Richard Reid & Associates has submitted evidence against NZTA’s Basin Bridge Proposal to build a motorway flyover through the Basin Reserve Historic Area in Wellington. A Board of Inquiry will hear the application starting in February 2014.

Our evidence covers transport planning, urban design and landscape issues. We have submitted an alternative proposal, the Basin Reserve Roundabout Enhancement Option (BRREO), an upgrade of the existing roundabout which we developed in collaboration with traffic engineers John Foster and David Young. BRREO is a holistic solution that provides for the project's transport objectives whilst integrating these with new urban initiatives and sensitive enhancements of the historic area. BRREO is a significant development of our previous at-grade ‘RR Option’.
