9.1 Deputy Lord Mayor - Hobart Rivulet Park - 18 McKellar Street, South Hobart - Shared Use Trail File Ref: 13-1-10 |
|
|
Question: How does the City plan to address pedestrian and cycleway access through the newly acquired land at 18 McKellar Street, South Hobart and the general concerns with interactions between pedestrians and cyclists along the shared use trail? Answer: The Director advised the Committee that a memorandum was provided to the Lord Mayor, Deputy Lord Mayor and Aldermen, dated 8 June 2017, in relation to the matter. |
9.2 Alderman Ruzicka - Bell Street / Bellevue Parade New Town - Vegetation - TAS Rail File Ref: 13-1-10 |
|
|
Question: As the land along the southern side of Bell Street, between the Brooker Highway overpass and Risdon Road, is owned by TasRail could the Director please advise if the Council has any procedures in place in relation to encouraging TasRail to control the growth of weeds on their land, along the southern side of Bell Street, between the Brooker Highway overpass and Risdon Road?" The City has the grass/weeds cut along Bellevue Parade on a regular basis, but the workmen do not cut the grass/weeds along the other side of the railway line. Over the years I have personally contacted TasRail and managed to have them remove barbed wire and overhanging trees. It is another ongoing issue Answer: The Director Parks and City Amenity took the question on notice. |
