Advice
The Committee unanimously supported the recommendation.
Background
As part of City's commitment to improve pedestrian safety and accessibility, a raised pedestrian crossing is proposed in Barlow Street, west of Pitt Street in Haymarket.
The initial proposed location of the raised crossing was
initially set back 8.5 metres west of Pitt Street due to an existing tree along
the pedestrian desire line. The Committee provided feedback on the initial
proposal at the July 2023 meeting and deferred the item for the City to
undertake further investigations
