LOOKING AHEAD
SUBDIVISIONS OF LAND PROVISION OF ROAD WIDENING With a view to standardising the width of future roadways the Lands .and Survey Department notified the Whakatane County Council last week that where a new scheme of •.subdivision fronts a State Highway which is less than 150 links wide, -such new scheme should, when practicable, provide for the dedication for road widening, of a strip along its frontage. In many cases this strip will be 25 links wide but the width must necessarily be governed by the width of the existing road and the physical features of the locality. Main Highways (as distinct from : state highways) would ordinarily not require to be widened, but special gpxumstances may necessitate widening in these cases also. The Council resolved that the Chief Surveyor be asked what authority, or who would be responsible for forming the footpath, and kerbing and channelling extra 25 links in townships on state highways; also where a state highway was set back 25 links in a rural area, or, what authority would be responsible for forming the extra 25 links of road width.
