Details
DescriptionPrinted in the July 8, 1980 'Leader'. There was also a full-page map covering Silverstream to Main Street.
The bypass had been deferred; architect Bill Pearson came up with a plan which had no official backing.
Access would be limited to light-controlled junctions at Field Street, Kiwi Street, Bathurst Street, Sutherland Avenue, Tawai Street, John Street, Ward Street and Richmond Street; Drivers living in all other side streets would have to head away from Fergusson Drive to a street running parallel with it, and go to one connecting to a junction.
This drawing shows the treatment of closed side streets; the bays created would be the only stopping points for through traffic.
Date TakenJuly 1980
