Broken yellow lines were painted on one side of Cosy Dell Rd in North Dunedin this month after a series of complaints about vehicles being parked on both sides, hampering travel. Cosy Dell Rd resident Mia Warman said she had thought the Dunedin City Council’s response could create a shortage of car parks for residents, but this had not happened. Thirty-minute parking spaces would be created for Octagon shoppers from a bus stop being moved and from converting P5 parking spaces. Cr Jim O’Malley was concerned those numbers created a misleading impression, describing the Cosy Dell Rd parking spaces likely lost as theoretical. Cosy Dell Rd resident Ellanor Babbage (20) said the congestion problem had not been evident last year.
