No parking signs request refused

A request for Gosford Council to provide "No Parking" signs on the southern side of Kathleen St between Ocean Beach Rd and Mascot St has been rejected by Gosford Council.

It was reported that since the construction of the dental facility at Woy Woy Hospital, traffic and parking demand had increased in Kathleen St.

Rear lane access to Kathleen St had been affected for properties on the western side of Mascot St, the council was told.

Cars parked on the southern side of Kathleen St obstructed the view of traffic as residents exited the lane.

Council staff reported that a site inspection indicated that while sight distance at this location was sometimes limited, the speed and volume of traffic was low and the provision of parking restrictions was not warranted.

Council's Traffic Committee recommended that no action be taken to provide "No Parking" signs on the southern side of Kathleen St.
