A transport hub near Eastgate Shopping Centre, Linwood has been approved. A new bus shelter and a signalised pedestrian crossing will be installed to improve access and safety for bus passengers using the Buckleys Rd hub. He said an additional section of bus lane by the pedestrian crossing will allow buses to re-enter the traffic and improve the flow of public transport in the area. Linwood-Central-Heathcote Community Board Chair Alexandra Davids said that the new bus stop and crossing will provide a much-improved facility for the community. “A user-friendly waiting space for bus passengers, good connectivity to Eastgate and new bus shelters that provide greater protection from wind and rain will all help to deliver a better service for our bus passengers,” she said.
