Decision
The Committee carried the recommendation unanimously.
Background
The City’s Sustainable Sydney 2030 vision includes
commitments to increase tree canopy cover by 50% by 2030, to green our City and
improve the amenity of our streets. In 2011, Council adopted the City’s Street
Tree Master Plan which identifies a range of in-road tree planting sites such
as Morehead Street, Redfern.
A raised median on Morehead Street will present a valuable
opportunity to increase tree canopy in the street as well as increasing safety
by reducing the distance a pedestrian needs to cross the road and reducing
vehicle speeds.
