Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Colombo Street
If you'd asked me which Christchurch street is the most notable, I would have said 'Colombo Street' without any hesitation. Steeped in history, development of the city often happened on Colombo Street first, it goes through the central city square that is the undisputed city centre, it's the longest straight main street in NZ. In recent history, it was one of the first three bus priority corridors in Christchurch, and is now one of the two areas that suffers most through earthquake damage (the historic strip shopping area through Sydenham; the other one being Manchester Street in the central city). It's also the only street that I know that has its weekly traffic peak on a Saturday night at 11 pm (but heh, that's . Granted, any editor not familiar with Christchurch wouldn't know this from the shape of the article when it got prodded. I have no doubt that the article will soon be something much more substantial
