Local Transport Forum - 29 Apr 2026

Important topics
- Review of additional Glenwall Street bus stops
U-Go Mobility raised concern that only one of several unformalised bus stops on Glenwall Street was being formalised, warning this could shift parking problems to the opposite side. Council staff said the broader request would be looked into.
Further bus zone changes may be considered on Glenwall Street, affecting parking and bus access. - Junction Road footpath connection context
During discussion on the Beverly Hills bus zone item, staff said footpath works would extend only as far as Gardinia Street and the corner of Junction Road, filling gaps to connect with an existing footpath delivered by a nearby development.
Signals a local pedestrian network improvement connected to the transport changes. - Upcoming bus stop zone removals on Forest Road
U-Go Mobility advised it would communicate closer to June about removing bus stop zones and possibly some related infrastructure at locations that will no longer be used, including George Street and Forest Road.
Residents and bus users may see changes to bus stop signage and kerbside use at affected locations. - Intersection priority change at Burgess Street and Targo Road
The minutes record a proposal to modify priority at the Burgess Street and Targo Road intersection, but no further discussion detail was captured in the extracted text.
Could affect traffic flow and road rules at the intersection if implemented.

- Bus stop and bus zone adjustments may improve bus operations but reduce nearby kerbside parking.
- Hillcrest Avenue residents may gain access to resident permit parking protections.
- An accessible parking space is proposed in Pitt Street, improving access for disabled users.
