A non-conforming olive tree planted in the middle of the 3.0 metrewide verge will either be removed or transplanted to the adjacent property owner’sgarden. It is also proposed to widen the existing access path on Harborne Street leadingnorth to the guarded school crossing.2. Dodd Street (Daglish - Herdsman) south side. Funding $13,500. Existing 1.5 metre slabpath will be replaced with a 1.5 metre wide concrete path. The existing trees arebetween 0.1 metre and 0.5 metres away from the existing path. The path could bewidened to 2.0 metres but scallops in the path would be required at each tree similar tothe path constructed on the east side of Daglish Street, south of Dodd Street.Photographs of these paths are provided as an Attachment to this report. This isrecommended.3. Dodd Street (Daglish - Harborne) south side. Replace 1.5 metre slab path. $11,000.Same as item 2 above but widened to 2.0 metre with scallops around trees.4. Dodd Street (Harborne Street east to the cul-de-sac at Lake Monger) south side.Funding $70,000. A new shared path, 270 metres long x 3.0 metres wide is scheduled tobe constructed after the parking bays and upgrading of Dodd Street is completedadjacent to the Speech and Hearing Centre. It will complete the link between the sharedpath adjacent to Gregory Street and the shared path around Lake Monger. It will providecyclists with an off-road alternative to riding along Dodd Street through the busy parkingarea adjacent to Lake Monger Primary School and the Speech and Hearing Centre.Proposed Extra WorksAs the existing Dodd Street road pavement is 11.0 metres wide, it is possible to establish acentral flush median island with raised medians for pedestrian crossing at Harborne Street andDaglish Street within existing kerblines. This treatment will assist with speed management andcompliment the proposed path works. It will assist pedestrians to safely cross Dodd Street.The works are shown in Plan No. E 246 13 01 Dodd Street - Daglish Street to Harborne Street- Median Islands. A plan is provided in the Attachment to this report. The narrow traffic island,west of Harborne Street, will be replaced with a 2.0 metre wide traffic island, flush median andanother 2.0 metre wide traffic island, east of Daglish Street. These items will provide trafficcalming and improved pedestrian access at the pedestrian crossing points near Daglish Streetand Harborne Street.The only impact this will have on adjacent owners is a reduction on verge parking.It is proposed that the funding may be obtained by reallocating funds from various capital worksprojects that have been completed or are not proceeding:-• Southport Street – Funding $10,000.
