Back in 2016 #Wellington city councillor Jo Coughlan ran for Mayor on a platform of #FourLanesToThePlanes and faster traffic flows. She lost despite endorsement from her brother-in-law, Bill English. Voters in Wellington looked at the bigger picture, including #ClimateImpacts in that election.

Will voters in #Election2023 make similar decisions or go for #MoreRoads.
