Library car park closed

The car park at Toowoomba City Library has been closed and will remain that way until the end of the month.

The parking was closed on Monday of this week, Council’s Environment and Community Portfolio Leader Cr Tim McMahon saying it was necessary as Council crews undertake an important safety upgrade on sections of the footpath on the eastern side of Victoria Street, between Herries and Little Streets.

“As part of the Victoria Street footpath project, the library driveway will be reconstructed, making it safer for all users,” Cr McMahon said.

“The reconstruction work means the car park will need to be closed for two weeks.

“We encourage those who utilise the library car park to find alternative parking.

“Options include on-street parking on Herries and Ruthven Street and off-street parking in Council’s Water Street car park

“When utilising alternative parking, please adhere to appropriate parking signage to avoid fines.

“Time limits and fees will still apply.

“There will also be two temporary parking bays for persons with a disability behind the Herries Street admin building on the northern side of the carpark.

“Even though the car park will be closed, please be assured the library remains open for its normal operating hours.

“We apologise for any inconvenience this temporary car park closure has on the community,” Cr McMahon said.
