Shared path to be extended

The shared bicycle path and walkway on the Ettalong Public School side of Uligandi St is to be extended.

Ettalong Public School relieving principal Ms Lynn Balfour said she had been advised by Gosford Council that the path would soon be extended to Barrenjoey Rd.

"This is welcome news for the many pedestrians using Uligandi St but it will affect parking in this street for a short time while construction is in progress," Ms Balfour said.

"Council has requested that I remind all drivers of the parking signs around the school boundaries," she said.

"Disabled spaces can only be occupied with vehicles displaying a Disabled Driver label.

"No stopping means just that: Cars must not stop in this zone."

According to Ms Balfour, rider permits have been prepared and will be distributed to children in Years 3 to 6 who have requested permission to bring a bicycle or scooter to school.

Students and parents were reminded to supply a bike chain to secure the bike during school hours.
