Booth Street - (LMC Masterplan)

Booth Street in the rain Friday 28 June 2013 around 8.15am

The Bus Shelters on Booth Street both East and West of Johnston street are currently in the wrong location, obstruct the footpath and block view of approaching buses/hailing passengers.

• If a bus stops at the shelter, it obstructs the pedestrian crossings accross Booth Street (forcing them into traffic in Johnston Street)
• If the first bus stops at the correct spot (beyond the bus shelter), the second bus obstructs the pedestrian crossing)
• Passengers getting on and off the bus have to negotiate the advertising panel, electricity poles, 40k zone poles
• The advertising Panel blocks the view the approaching bus from the bus stop and hailing the bus is hazardous, because the view of the passenger is obstructed by the Advertising panel
• Passengers choose to shelter under the pizza shop or chemist awning in preference to the limited space in the shelter
• Commuters often need to purchase bus tickets from the Newsagent
• Commuters also read council noticeboard, check mail at post office, do banking, visit cafe, pub, purchase take away and groceries etc from local shops enroute to bus/while waiting for scheduled bus
