No Stopping – adjacent Club Bega, Gipps Street

Council have received the following request from Club Bega:

“The board of directors have asked me to contact the committee to request some signage for “No Parking” at the entrance of the club.

On too many occasions, the manoeuvring in and out of the bus is problematic as cars are parked at the wide entrance. (please see marked up photo in the below link).

On the marked up photo is the sort of signage I believe is required to direct attention to those who park in this area.”

Council’s LTC representative has visited the site and has observed vehicles parking within close proximity of the access to the front of the Club and it’s adjoining accessible car spaces. He has also telephoned the Club Manager who has indicated they would like to see some pavement markings. However, as was explained to the Manager, signs are a more visual reminder and do not need to be repainted after a bitumen reseal takes place. The LTC Council representative has made the following recommendation.

Recommendation

Council approve the installation of a “No Stopping” zone commencing at a point 50 metres from the eastern intersection point of Gipps Street and Bega Street for a length of 24 metres.
