Garden Road Hazards

A

correspondent recently drew atten- tion to the unsatisfactory, facili- ties for pedestrians in Garden Road just below the Peak tram terminus, The point was well taken. The lower end of Garden Road serves as an im portant highway for children attend- ing St. Paul's and St. Joseph's colleges 05 well as the Kennedy Road junior school and the military school. It is also used by hundreds of commuters between the mid and upper evels and the city. In short, that particular part of Garden Road is not only a motor highway, but a pedestrian thoroughfare. Yet it caters quite in- adequately for the pedestrian. pathway exists on only one alde of the road-and this, of narrow dimensions. And, apart from the Queen's Road entrance, it possesses no pedestrian right of way lane, nor are any traffic- control policemen on duty except at the junction of Upper Albert Road and Kennedy Road and at the foot of the hill. Most of the pedestrian traffic crosses Garden Road from and into the grounds of St. John's Cathedral, but a safety lane at this point would not be ideal because it would directly con- nect with the entrance to the Head- quarters Command road-a thorough- fare perpetually receiving and dis gorging army lorries and other vehi cles. The most effective traffic control point would be situated between the Volunteer Headquarters and the en- trance to the Cathedral, running directly across Garden Road. But even this would present dangerous hazards to pedestriana unless a proper pathway is constructed on the western sida of Garden-Road Provision of a

Korea Offers Greater Risk Of War With

With Soviet Says Marshall

Washington, May 11.

General George Marshall, the United States Secretary of Defence, said today that the risk of war with Russia because of the Korean situation was more acute than the risk taken by the United States in re-arming Europe.

He told the Joint Senate Committee investi- gating Far East policy that the main difference between Europe and Asia was that "we have an issue there (in Korea) that is very critical to the Soviet Union in that they are now in complete ac- cord with the Chinese Communist Government so far as we know, and they have a treaty of accord.” He added: "The altuation as to the possible actions of the Soviet Government is a more acute one by far than in Western Europe because if they lose a close community of interests and co-operativo arrangement with China at this time that would be a very great loss to them of some- thing they now possess."

footpath involves one of two things: either it is constructed at the expense of the existing width of the Garden Road motor highway, or the Cathedral surrenders a strip of its land for the purpose. It is suggested that the Cathedral grounds at this point could well afford to sacrifice a strip, five or six feet deep from where, the grounds adjoin the Volunteer Headquarters to the Garden Road entrance. A footpath on that side of road would enable pedestrians to congregate in safety while awaiting their turn to cross through the safety channel, and if constructed on part of the existing Cathedral grounds, would have added advantage of not encroaching on the present width of the Garden Road motorway. Garden Rond is a source of constant danger to pedestrians and to car drivers. It is a thoroughfare that is becoming increasingly busy and must be considered one of the major roads on the island directly connect- ing with the city levels. The children who have to make use of Garden Road particularly need protection and it is one that can easily be afforded them by the introduction of a safety right of way and the provision of a footpath between Volunteer Headquarters and the Cathedral grounds.
