Car share bay approved for Burwood Road after relocation from earlier site
A dedicated car share space will be installed on the east side of Burwood Road in Burwood Heights, south of Bligh Street, after a previously approved location was changed following community feedback.
A dedicated car share space has been approved for the east side of Burwood Road in Burwood Heights, south of Bligh Street, changing the use of part of the kerbside parking on the street.
Burwood Council's Local Transport Forum minutes record that the General Manager, under delegation, approved the installation after a previously approved car share space on Burwood Road was relocated following community feedback.
The minutes do not set out the earlier approved location or detail the feedback, but they identify the new position as being on the east side of Burwood Road, south of Bligh Street.
For residents and drivers in Burwood Heights, the practical change is that part of the street space currently available for general parking will be used as a dedicated car share bay. The measure also provides a formal car share location in the area.
The same meeting noted a series of other local traffic and parking measures, including school-hours parking changes outside Enfield Public School on Beaumaris Street, a temporary closure of Ford Lane from Railway Parade for the Burwood Lunar New Year event period, and a new 'Keep Clear' marking at Shaftesbury Road and Selborne Street.
No further consultation steps or implementation timing for the Burwood Road car share bay are set out in the published minutes beyond the delegated approval.
