Buses look set to be banned on Victoria St in central Auckland to transform most of the street into a park between Albert and Victoria Parks.
Public consultation on bus routes across the city have rejected the idea of running buses on Victoria St in favour of using Wellesley St as the main east-west bus route through the Queen St valley.
Many of the 2200 submissions supported the "Green Link", a linear park for pedestrians and motorists between Albert and Victoria Parks.
The park is contained in the Auckland Council's 2012 City Centre Masterplan, but has lacked funding and remains a vital transport link while the $3.4 billion City Rail Link is being built at the city end up Albert St.
Feedback on the consultation was discussed by Auckland Mayor Phil Goff and councillors at a workshop today.
