Unused bus lane due to new bus routes - could save congestion
The bus lane at the bottom end of ocean view road at the roundabout from the corner of Hillcrest ave is only about 20metres long, but with the new bus routes, none of the buses go that way anymore.
If they could paint over it and make it a clear straight ahead through the roundabout anytime (to merge with traffic coming from Lake road on northcote road), it would solve a lot of congestion on Ocean view in the mornings, and also stop the rat runners using Potter ave back down onto Lake road to jump the queues in the mornings too which happens a lot (as they can presently skip round the backstreets then get right of way at the roundabout with the steady stream of morning traffic, so ocean view just backs up indefinitely).
