Welcome to our week in review.
Crows Nest to Lane Cove commuters will soon have more than a leg to stand on after complaints were heard about the lack of seating at the bus stop outside Crows Nest Metro station.
After inquiries into the matter, North Sydney Council told ITC that, weather permitting, the Pacific Highway bus stop is expected to have seating installed within the next two weeks. The installation was previously delayed due to ongoing construction in the area.
Regulars along that route have previously complained that the bus stop has long wait times and no place to sit. The 252—the bus from Lane Cove to Crows Nest—comes on average every half an hour throughout the day.
Revenue NSW Time Delays in Issuing Infringement Notices for Lane Cove Council Parking
A roving reporter sent us a copy of a fine notice issued in November 2024 for an alleged incident in July 2024. Is this a denial of natural justice? Who remembers in November what you did in July? It would be different if we knew the ticketless system was accurate. Has anyone else experienced this time delay? The roving reporter also advised us that they received the fine notice and the payment reminder on the same day.
