COUNCIL MINUTESTUESDAY 26 FEBRUARY 2013Both sites have been submitted to Main Roads WA for signs and lines approval and MainRoads WA approval is still outstanding.POLICY/STATUTORY IMPLICATIONS:Policy No. 5.2.17(a) 'Road Design Standards' which indicates that "design and construction becompatible with best modern practice and design".This proposal will require line marking and signage approval from Main Roads WA.FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:The current budget includes funding of $150,000 for constructing both pedestrian crossings.The funding could be increased to either $160,000 for constructing the crossing east of StVincents Avenue or to $340,000 for constructing both crossings by a budget reallocation fromcompleted projects.STRATEGIC DIRECTION:The Town's Strategic Plan 2009-2020 has specific outcome areas to strive for, namely:-• Services that meet the needs of ratepayers, residents and visitors by:-- connecting communities and bringing people together; and- personal and community safety.COMMUNITY CONSULTATION:This matter has been reviewed under the Town's Community Consultation Policy and assessedas a requirement to "Inform". The works are proposed as a response to representations by theWest Leederville Residents Association.SUMMARY:Detailed design has allowed for a more detailed construction estimate to be prepared for thetwo sites on Lake Monger Drive, to provide safer pedestrian access over Lake Monger Drivefrom West Leederville to access Lake Monger Reserve.Both sites still need to be approved by Main Roads WA for signs and lines installation.The detailed estimates of construction highlight extra unforseen costs and if the two sites are tobe both constructed, an allocation of an extra $190,000 will be required or alternatively, one sitecan be constructed in 2012/13.If one site was to be considered, it is recommended that Crossing 1 - east of St VincentsAvenue be selected, as this site currently has no pedestrian crossing facility.Alternatively, both sites can be constructed in 2012/13 if additional funding was approved. Thereport highlights savings on completed projects which can allow this option to be considered.H:\CEO\GOV\COUNCIL MINUTES\13 MINUTES\FEBRUARY 2013\C CR.DOCX 137
