Mid-block closure to be advertised

Gosford Council will advertise a proposed mid-block closure of an unnamed laneway between Brisbane Ave and Adelaide Ave, Umina.

A letter box drop wil be carried out.

Council's Local Traffic Committee report stated that a customer had raised concerns that motorists were driving through the unnamed laneway at inappropriate speeds and have, on occasion, crashed into property fences.

It was requested that special consideration be given to the unnamed laneway be closed mid-block to through traffic.

The customer further expressed that residents in the vicinity also supported this request.

This laneway runs east west from Fitzroy St at the western end to a north south laneway east of Perth St.

There are no existing closures within the laneway and Council has not received any other requests for closures at other locations within the laneway.

Council's crash database has shown no reported crashes within the laneway between 1996 and 2010 inclusive.
