Purpose

The purpose of the Bus Stops clearway is to support the upgrade of a relocated bus stop to provide a quality bus stop. This is to allow the buses to pull in and out safely and allow effective enforcement. A raised boarding platform will also be installed to ensure safe boarding and alighting of mobility impaired passengers and ensure the bus stops are fully mobility compliant.

The proposals include the relocation of the existing south bound bus stop to a more appropriate location.
