Advice
The Committee unanimously supported the recommendation.
Background
The City's Sustainable Sydney 2030 vision includes commitments to increase tree canopy cover by 50% by 2030, to green the City and improve the amenity of the City's streets. In 2011 Council adopted the City's Street Tree Masterplan which identifies a range of sites to plant trees within the road pavement on streets such as Jones Bay Road, Pyrmont.
To help improve general safety in the area as part of the
City's commitment to calm traffic and improve the local amenity, it is proposed
to install a landscaped raised median island in Jones Bay Road, east of Pyrmont
Street.
