After a year, it has been decided that the much criticised high impact speed hump in Bong Bong Street, between Railway Parade and Shoalhaven Street, is going to be removed in favour of other traffic calming devices.

Council's Acting Director Engineering & Works, Darren Brady, has told The Bugle that the first step will be to install a raised pedestrian crossing on Bong Bong Street, on the the bridge side of Railway Parade.

"Then we will remove the speed hump and replace it with some median islands and curb extensions to narrow the lanes down.

"They will be designed so that people will have both ways access to and from their driveways."

Depending on the impact of this work, a roundabout at the Bong Bong St and Railway Parade may be considered at a later date.
