The Progress Association is keen to pursue safe pedestrian options around the area and it appears that now is a pretty good time to be thinking about it with Council in the process of reviewing it cycleway strategy this financial year and the footpath strategy in the 2011/12 financial year.
Advice from Council is that residents are now no longer required to contribute to footpath costs. Council does still charge residents for kerb and gutter. The rate as highlighted in Councils Pricing Policy 2010/2011 is $120 per lineal metre.
The process for Council to initiate investigation into the provision of footpath and/or kerb and gutter is via written request.
The Progress Association is keen to identify areas of specific concerns in regard to where footpath and/or kerb and gutter should be installed and then submit these to Council, highlighting the particular streets and the specific issues.
If you have an area that you want considered please pass on the details or post in on the blog.
