Walking, driving and busOverview
On our site visit, we saw that buses have difficulty finding suitable places to park during school pick-up and drop-off times. This happens daily. We’ve been asked to provide more bus parking to better service the schools.
We’re proposing to introduce bus-only parking outside 8 George Street on school days from:
- 7:30am to 8:30am
- 2:30pm to 3:30pm.
During the restricted times, other vehicles will not be able to park there.
Outside of these hours, the space will return to paid parking, as it is within a paid parking zone.
