Three bus stops in the vicinity of Wehl Street Mount Gambier will be converted into bus zones to remedy safety and accessibility concerns.
Following a Council investigation, it was found existing bus stops at Wehl Street South – Edward Street intersection, Wehl Street South – Shepherdson Road intersection (across from Reidy Park Primary School) and William Street – Bertha Street intersection do not currently provide a designated bus zone to allow buses to safely pull over to collect passengers at existing locations.
“This means that other vehicles can park in the bus stop areas at any stage and prevent bus access at these points,” City of Mount Gambier General Inspectorate Team Leader Derek Ferguson said.
To address the issue, designated bus zones will be installed at Wehl Street South (near the Edward Street intersection) and William Street (near the Bertha Street intersection).
