Signs moved for laneway

Gosford Council has resolved to relocate No Stopping signs on the west side of Alexander Lane, Umina Beach, to the south side of properties numbered 322 to 326.

The existing No Parking sign outside the Umina Beach Newsagency at No 310 West St would also be moved one metre further west, away from Alexander Lane.

A resident, whose main entrance was on Alexander Lane, made the request for a change in signage.

The resident stated that, due to delivery vehicles parking in this lane, access to the property was sometimes blocked.

The resident asked that the current No Stopping sign on the west side of the lane be relocated to the south side of the property.

The resident asked that the No Stopping signs be placed on the eastern side for the same extent as the western side, as Alexander Lane carried two-way traffic and was a narrow lane.

The resident asked that the sign be moved west along West St as vehicles often only partially park their vehicle within the parking zone and obstruct exit from Alexander Lane.

The resident stated that some vehicles reversing out of that parking spot reverse across the entry of Alexander Lane causing potentially dangerous situations.

The council decided to consult with the Peninsula Chamber of Commerce before proceeding with the changes.
