Space wanted for second bus

Bus operator Busways has asked Gosford Council to extend a bus zone in Ocean View Rd, Ettalong, to accommodate a second bus.

It has asked that the bus zone on the northern side of the road between Memorial Ave and Broken Bay Rd be extended to 42 metres to handle "increased services", replacing two half hour parking spots.

Council's Local Traffic Committee has supported the request, recommending that the bus zone be extended.

Council staff reported to the committee: "Considering Council's car park is available at the rear of the business which has frontage on the northern side of Ocean View Rd between Broken Bay Rd and Memorial Ave, the impact of removing the two timed kerbside parking spots would be minimal."
