Traffic plan for Hardys Bay

Gosford Council will develop a traffic and parking management plan for a section of Araluen Dr, Hardys Bay, following a request from Cr Jim Macfadyen.

It has also resolved to provide linemarking on Araluen Dr, west of Killcare Rd.

Cr Macfadyen asked for "No Parking" signs along the kerbfront of the waterfront reserve on Araluen Dr, Hardys Bay, "to improve safety for children crossing along the section of Araluen Dr, west of Killcare Rd".

A council report stated that pedestrian safety concerns had been raised due to the parking of vehicles on both sides of Araluen Dr, west of Killcare Rd, during busy periods.

It stated that council officers had attended a recent meeting of the Hardys Bay Residents Group where pedestrian safety and traffic concerns were discussed.

The group recommended a two-part solution including the provision of linemarking to control traffic and parking conditions and the development of a traffic and parking management plan for the section of Araluen Dr.

This project is to be considered for funding in the 2006-2007 Traffic Facilities Program.
