Bus shelter on Jonson Street to be removed this week
The wooden bus shelter on Jonson Street outside the Byron Visitors Centre will be removed by Council this Friday (7 May) with all bus services operating from the new bus interchange on Butler Street in Byron Bay.
The Jonson Street bus stop was decommissioned by Transport for NSW last week when it opened the $8.4 million Butler Street bus interchange which was designed to shift transport services out of Jonson Street.
“With the new bus interchange now in operation, we will be dismantling and removing the wooden shelter at the Jonson Street bus stop which was built by Council as a temporary structure in 1995 awaiting construction of a permanent interchange,” Byron Shire Council’s Acting Manager Major Projects, Chris Soulsby said.
