A dispute over a controversial cycleway in Wellington, part of a new radical 166-kilometre network, has been settled outside of court

An interim injunction over the Newtown cycleway was granted earlier this year, halting construction until a full judicial review hearing was heard.
The case was led by a group of local business owners, concerned about the lack of consultation on such a significant project.
But Wellington City Council chief planning officer Liam Hodgetts emailed councillors last night advising them the issue's been settled.
He says the businesses have agreed to withdraw the review, if the council used the more common process of a traffic resolution to progress the cycleway.
