Can the Council please indicatewhat traffic measures will be undertaken at the intersection to reduce the riskof vehicle/vehicle collisions and also vehicle to bicycle collisions? The proposed bicyclepath adds complexity to this already compact (and dangerous) intersection with vehiclesturning left off West Coast highway at 70kmh currently obstructed from view onLaunceston Avenue. Can more consideration be given to traffic safety and not justaesthetics?AnswerIt is proposed to align the path such that pedestrians and cyclists are required to slow ontheir approach to the intersection. The location of the crossing point will be in a positionthat allows turning vehicles to have an early and clear view of people about to cross.It is further proposed to modify the kerbing location on the south east corner ofLaunceston Avenue to cause vehicles turning left from West Coat Highway to slowconsiderably and give motorists entering Helston Way from Launceston Avenue a clearerview of these vehicles.Together with these modifications, the traffic splitter island at the intersection of WestCoast Highway and Helston Avenue can be widened to approximately 3 metres to createa safer mid point crossing for pedestrians and cyclists. Although Main Roads WAapproval is required for this work, it is not anticipated that there will be any objections tothe proposal.Mr Graham Hornel, 93 Empire Avenue, City BeachQuestionIn support of Stay on Your Feet Week 2012 from 9 to 15 September 2012 and as anappropriate addition to ongoing efforts to encourage Cambridge residents to be activewould Council consider fully supporting my 5 June 2012 request that a network of localneighbourhood walking trails be created - backed by a simple brochure, by promotion onthe Town web site and by a contest designed to both canvas community input on suitableH:\Ceo\Gov\Council Minutes\12 MINUTES\June 2012\A Council Front.docx 3
COUNCIL MINUTESTUESDAY 26 JUNE 2012names for these trails and to encourage awareness of the health benefits of regularwalking. An should budget or resources be a reason for not supporting this innovation,would Council also kindly consider seeking appropriate sponsorship from Perth waste -with which the Town has spent at least $1.12 million for bin purchases to date:ResponseThe Stay on Your Feet Week is coordinated by the Injury Control Council of WA whoencourages Local Government to host events designed to aid in the prevention of injurycaused by falls for people over 65 years of age. The Cambridge Senior Services arecurrently examining various activities that could be offered for Stay on Your Feet Week2012 from 9 to 15 September 2012 and will seek funding. Furthermore, the Bold ParkAquatic Centre since 2008 offer the Living Longer Living Stronger Program, 5 times aweek aimed at encouraging seniors to exercise.In relation to the proposal of supporting a neighbourhood walking trail network, backed bya brochure has merit. However creating a local neighbourhood walking trail throughoutthe Town is a major project with no funds or resources in this year's budget to undertakethese works. The suggestion that Perth Waste could sponsor this would requireinvestigation. Initial comment is that Perth Waste has a contract with the Town for wasteand they do not have any obligation to sponsor the neighbourhood walking trail network.As an interim measure the Travel Smart Guide/brochure (which is due to be upgradedthis financial year) highlighting existing walking trails can be enhanced and updatedincluding the "Bush to Beach trail" which is part the regional trail network master plan, aplan endorsed by Council in November 2011. A progress report (DV12.27) was presentedto Council in March 2012 including the naming of a number of trails.Verbal QuestionsWendy TusackRe: Item CR12.88 - Quarry Amphitheatre - Booking PolicyQuestionWill the proposed new booking policy impact on Kapinara Primary School as the schoolonly uses the Quarry Amphitheatre every second year and are not regular users.ResponseIt is Council's intention, as in previous years, that Kapinara Primary School will be lookedupon favourably when wishing to book the Quarry Amphitheatre.4.
