March 2021 update
Works are recommencing for the roll out of Lane Cove's new bus
shelter program. Construction of nine new shelters on Epping Road will commence
on Monday 8 March. This involves some night works, however, where possible works
will be carried out during the day. Notification letters to affected residents
were delivered in late February. Works are expected to be completed at the end of March (weather permitting).
The locations of the nine new bus shelters are:
- Epping Road near Centennial Avenue (south side)
- Epping Road near Parklands Avenue (north side)
- Epping Road near Tantallon Road (north side)
- Epping Road near Cumberland Avenue (north side)
- Epping Road near Sam Johnson Way (north side)
- Epping Road near Wingadee Street (north side)
- Epping Road near Coxs Lane (south side)
- Epping Road near Munro Street (south side)
- Epping Road near Centennial Avenue (north side)
New bus shelters for Lane Cove
More than 70 new bus
shelters will be installed or upgraded in Lane Cove to meet requirements set by the Disability
Discrimination Act (DDA).
As well as new signs illuminating the location
of the bus stop, the new bus shelters will provide improved undercover space
for all users. Members of the public, including wheelchair and vision impaired
users, will be able to easily and safely manoeuvre around each shelter.
Some night works will be required
due to RMS restrictions for works on roads with higher traffic volumes, which
prohibits day works on these roads. The new shelters will be set back further
from the kerb which will improve manoeuvrability in front of the shelters. All
shelters will be installed to meet the current Australian Standards and safety
requirements.
During construction, pedestrian
access and vehicle access to private driveways will be maintained with the help
of traffic controllers who will be onsite to ensure safe passage for vehicles
and pedestrians at times when footpath access is affected.
