Cootamundra-Gundagai Regional Council is calling for public feedback regarding the removal of the London Plane trees in Morris Street Cootamundra following information presented to the Local Traffic Committee (LTC) and identified in the consultation process for the Cootamundra & Villages Pedestrian Access & Mobility Plan (PAMP).
The Local Traffic Committee (LTC) have requested an arborist report on the health of the London Plane trees, a quote for the cost of tree removal and Council consultation with Sacred Heart School.
Morris Street shared path has been identified in the Cootamundra & Villages Pedestrian Access & Mobility Plan (PAMP) as a high priority location requiring repair or replacement. The PAMP provides the framework for developing pedestrian routes identified as important for walkability, safety, convenience, and mobility, with a particular focus on footpaths, kerb ramps and crossing facilities at critical locations.
Council is currently investigating all avenues regarding pedestrian, cyclist and road user safety on Morris Street to determine a suitable solution that reflects the needs of the community.
CGRC is currently seeking feedback from interested residents, organisations, and road users to ensure that the replacement path along Morris Street meets the needs of the community. Your feedback is vital in the development of this project and Council thanks you in advance for your participation.
The Survey can be completed online at https://www.cgrc.nsw.gov.au/pedestrian-access-mobility-plans-pamps/. More information on PAMPs is available on this page.
Hard copies of the survey can be completed at Council Administration offices in Cootamundra and Gundagai or visit Council’s Pop-Up stall at the Starry Nights Christmas Festivals in Gundagai on 13 December, and Cootamundra 19 December.
