OPINION: Coffs Harbour’s bus stop dilemma Opinion by News Of The Area - Modern Media - May 31, 2022 Commuters take shelter from the rain. DEAR News of the Area, I WOULD just like to nicely remind Council that while their $100 million building is under construction, us mere bus commuters are still having to, in any rain, or for that matter in any sun at least three hours of each day, stand or sit away from the absurd and non-functional shelters they have constructed in the main street of Coffs Harbour over the seats at the bus stops. We have had to do so for the past four years. The included pictures demonstrate this. Commuters have to stand in the car park to wait for buses as the seats are getting rained on. In the other picture, the seats outside Beachside Radiology from 8am until 12 midday are bathed in extreme heat and UVF rays, making them unusable. Should Council pay me for my suggestion of an across-road shade sail as in West High Street as a permanent solution for this problem? Regards, Judy QUICKENDEN, Coffs Harbour.
