Three Wellington City Councillors walked out of a meeting this afternoon - around contentious roadworks on Thorndon Quay.

The council agreed to reduce building raised pedestrian crossings from five, to two.

But Councillor Ben McNulty refused to vote, saying he was uncomfortable playing the role of a transport engineer.

He left the room as well as Nurreddin Abdurahman and Diane Calvert.

Calvert says they didn't have enough information to make a decision, and she doesn't support any raised crossings.

"We wanted to wait a couple of weeks until we could get that information - that was rejected."
