Advice
The Committee unanimously supported the
recommendation.
Background
The footpath on the eastern side of Hiles Street, Alexandria south of McEvoy Street, is unsafe for pedestrians due to the damage caused by tree roots.
The City has investigated this issue and found resurfacing
the existing footpath along Hiles Street would not solve the safety risk to
pedestrians walking on the footpath. Furthermore, removing trees without
damaging the adjacent buildings is not possible at this point in time.
Therefore, the City is proposing to widen the footpath by 1.2 - 1.4 metres to
provide safe access to pedestrians past the tree roots.
