AOTEA QUAY
MORE TRAFFIC ROOM
NO INDUSTRIAL AREA
A factor which has made the arrangement come to between tha, City Council and the Government in (t regard to Aotea Quay and the Social Security building still more acceptable to the city is that the industrial area which the Railway Department at one time considered putting in along the fifty chains of frontage will not now be carried out in ttie way originally proposed
The request made by the City-Coun-cil for additional provision for car parking and for the facilitation of the movement of traffic in Aotea Quay was due to the proposal made by the Railway Department to establish an industrial area on its subdivisions there,/ on long-term leases'. This idea has now been abandoned by the Department, which wishes, to retain, by short-term leases, its control of the property, which it may itself desire to use.
The original proposal was that a service road should be provided, and this in a wider form, is now agreed to, so that with car parking provided for at either end of the Social Security building, facilities for traffic are considered adequate.
