I must be confusing it with Auckland's recently cancelled project, I remember a bunch of money being spent to purchase land.

I mean, I wish they'd build shit. Total agreement here. It needs to be done, just do it!

You may be thinking of the cycle bridge across the harbour, they spent fifty mil or so on that, mostly on consultants.
