Petition to keep parking

 

Petitioners have supported keeping parking in front of Arty's Store on Ocean Beach Rd, Umina.

The parking is under threat as part of the draft Ocean Beach Rd strategy.

The petition, with 541 signatures, stated that people found the convenience of being able to pull up and get their needs quickly was the essence of them using the store.

If the existing levels of parking were eliminated or reduced, it would end their patronage.

The petitioners have asked council to consider that, in redesigning Ocean Beach Rd, council make Nelson St turn left in and turn left out only, and the pedestrian refuge be relocated.

The petitioners stated that this reconfiguration would allow the parking positions outside Arty's Store to remain.
