NEW ARTERIAL ROAD
PAPATOETOE-ONEHUNGA ROUTE PROPOSED WILL TRAVERSE MANGERE A new main road linking Papatoetoe and Onehunga, traversing tlu- Mangcre district, has been planned by the Pupatoetoe Welfare League, which is Indeavouringr to enlist the suppi rt of the Mangere and Onehunga districts before submitting the scheme to th« A regional planning authorities. The proposal is to construct the highway between Papatoetoe and Mangere bridge and the route will be on the western side of the peninsula in the Mangere district. The roads in this area are purely rural, and as they run at right angles to the railway and the Great South Road, they are considered to be unsuitable for through traffic and for transport services. If the new route is to become an accomplished fact, several roads in the Mangere district will have to be linked and straightened and the surfaces improved. The present route from Mangere bridge is said to be suitable as far as the point where Favona Road and Robertson Road branch. From this point it is proposed that existing roads should be connected until an arterial route joins the Great South Road at Pa patoetoe.
