THE WATERFRONT ROAD.
It is intolerable that after the Waterfront Road has been built at such a huge cost, and has attracted so much traffic both for business and pleasure, a portion of it should remain undedicated and at one point dangerous, to be used at the traveller's risk. Bocks have already come down at this place, and at any moment an accident might happen that would be a disgrace to the city. It seems clear that the chief responsibility is on the Government, for the City Engineer states that the road is an integral and necessary part of the plan of the Orakei garden suburb, and that the Government undertook, in an Act of Parliament, to form and complete this particular section of the roadway. Surely Mr. Coates must realise that the road- cannot be left in its present unfinished state and that the Government should complete its contract. That at this stage our much-advertised road round the waterfront should be branded as dangerous is a scandal.
