The ongoing changes in Jerilderie’s Powell St precinct continue to provide bemusement and not a little aggravation.
The newly marked parking arrangements on the south (non-shady) side of the street have provided entertainment and amazement to customers of the local bakery, as they watch drivers navigate the new choices of either parallel or angle parking in different areas of the now one-way street.
Some drivers still opt for the shade on the north (non-parking) side of the street, while others are still turning around and going out the wrong (old) way.
One hopes that time will iron out the wrinkles. A street sign for Powell Street, at both ends, might also be a helpful thing for non-locals.
