Bollards for Rocks Arcade

Several suggestions from the Peninsula Chamber of Commerce will be included as part of the installation of bollards at the Rocks Arcade, Ettalong Beach.

At a meeting held on September 4, council deferred a Traffic Committee recommendation to install bollards in the area to provide a separate thoroughfare for pedestrians.

The recommendation also involved the provision of No Stopping signs at the northern end of the laneway to keep the area clear of parked vehicles.

One of the included suggestions was for a line painted on the ground to encourage pedestrians to stop and look before stepping behind a reversing car.

The word "Look Right" will be painted under the line.

The new bollards would not extend past the wall so as not to impede the turning circle of cars parked behind the shops.

A "Shared Zone" sign will also be erected and a safety mirror considered for the area.

The post box will be removed to allow "clear and easy access and a turning circle" beside the new bollards.
