Call to action: change the reverse car parks on Bowra street

1 year ago Featured

The fumes from car exhaust’s are not good for our health. The change in Coffs Harbour has been successful. And I agree driving in and backing out is much more efficient and doesn’t hold up traffic.

I agree it's easier,much quicker and safer.

I hope that council will eventually find a way to make Bowra a one way street with large pedestrian footpaths. Making the carpark behind Golden Sands two levels, could help with loss of parking spaces.

This disruption to traffic is significant in busy periods, it also prevents tourist from visiting stores in town. I have personally had friends visit who avoid the Main Street because it’s too hard to get a park.

I moved here a few years ago from Victoria. This reverse into carpark situation is so bizarre. I’d never seen it before moving here. And never parked on that street because I can’t take the pressure haha

Needs to be assessed

I rarely get the reverse park right first time, then get anxious trying to rectify it.

It’s dangerous and time consuming!

I agree it take up to much time reverseing in the car park

Ridiculous. Main Street parking continually at a stand still due to reverse parking.

It should be nose to kerb. It so stupid the way they have it now.

Can we completely beautify our main street. It is embarrassingly ugly

So dangerous. So busy. Utter chaos

Totally agree, so pleased somebody is doing something about this ridiculous situation. When l moved here from Victoria l couldn’t believe my eyes. Please change it, l will not drive up that street.

The change and upgrade is definitely needed.

Reverse p parking on downward slope is hard

I sit at a Bowra St Cafe everyday and watch the abysmal attempts at reverse parking. So many dual-cabs overhang the footpath with their towbars at shin level.

I've seen so many people get upset and start beeping when someone's trying to reverse in. Obviously it's not locals and people who don't know what's going on. The pole in front of good time charlies is always getting hit by long cars / often Ute's reversing and not being able to see it. That alone is a disaster waiting to happen.

Nose in people park straighter and you find when you you are reversing out more cars will let you out . Plus with nose in there are no more fames going into the shops or as you are walking along the footpath

A good and sensible idea, nose to kerb is widely used, quicker to park less interruption to traffic flow
