Northern Outlet
Sir.—Christchurch is a verv fortunate city. Unlike the other three main centres it is not hemmed in by mountains and arms of the sea It has plenty of northern outlets until the Waimakariri is reached, when it has only one outlet The “Green Route” of the Ministry of Works proposes to perpetuate the congestion by concentrating all north-board traffic at Chaneys The proposed "Yellow Route." slightly modified to provide a bridge on a direct line between the Middle Island road and the Belfast Hotel, would probably take half the traffic awav from the present bridge and. if connected with a four-lane highway, would easily cope with the traffic for the next 20 years After that, who knows what developments may take place?—Yours etc WATAMOTAWE August 24. 1962.
