Kiss and ride for Umina school

 

A No Parking zone "School Times Only" is planned for Sydney Ave, Umina, between the existing bus zone and Hobart Ave, after a request from the Umina Public School P&C association.

Gosford Council traffic officers will liaise with the school before implementing the proposal.

The council's traffic committee was told that the school had complained that no "kiss and ride" area had been provided in Sydney Ave.

"As a part of the recent reconstruction of Sydney Ave, Council provided two rear-to-kerb five-minute parking spaces south of the bus zone," a report to the committee stated.

"There are approximately 10 unrestricted parking spaces north of the bus zone which could be converted to a 'kiss and ride' area by providing No Parking, morning and afternoon school times, in this area.

"The spaces would be available for unrestricted parking the day and after hours."
