Should the bus lanes go ahead? And what would this mean for our CBD?

And a dive into the aged care report released, which shed light on the instability New Zealand's aged care system is heading towards.

Plus, National's anti-Wellington rhetoric, Tiaki Wai blame, Moa Point report secrecy, Paul Eagle's 100k payout, local rags and the panel share their hot and nots

Lots to dissect on Friday Faceoff this week.

Before Councillor Tony Randle's passing, he shared concerns around a bus lane proposal with other councillors including Andrea Compton, who joins Nick on the show today.

Councillor Compton confirmed Randle's findings of a $60 million disadvantage from the planned Harbour Quays bus route change, which includes replacing a car lane each way with a bus lane. 

The proposal will be voted through mid-September by Wellington City Council, but Compton says the extra walking from diverted stops was not taken into account calculating the original benefit to cost ratio.

The problem identified by Randle, brings the ratio down significantly. 

Nick also asked about the process being made with the controversial Cambridge Terrace bus lanes, to which Compton believes a review is underway to move it to "peak hours only".
