Bus zone to be lengthened

Gosford Council has resolved to adjust the western end of the bus zone on the northern side of Ocean View Rd, Ettalong, to improve bus accessibility.

Busways had asked that the length of the bus zone fronting Centrelink be extended so that buses can park parallel with the kerb.

Council officers stated that the bus zone was at a mid-block location and the existing length of 19.5 metres was "insufficient" for buses to manoeuvre to and from the kerb.

Officers stated that an extension of the bus zone to 25 metres would accommodate bus movements at this location.
