Works are being undertaken near the intersection of Clyde Street and Cowin Street Diamond Creek to improve safety for motorists, pedestrians and the school crossing supervisor.
These works are scheduled to be undertaken during the summer school holiday period to minimise disruption to the nearby primary school.
Transport Accident Commission (TAC) - $56,000
Nillumbik Shire Council - $56,000
Total project value - $112,000
Council removed four trees in Cowin Street as part of the proposed safety improvement works. The removal of the trees was brought forward to address a number of recent safety incidents and ongoing pedestrian concerns for users of the footpaths, including those accessing the primary school. Tree roots were causing trip hazards and damaging the surrounding road. The removal was completed during the September school holidays to reduce any risk or disruption to the public and school. Replacement of the removed trees will be assessed once the pedestrian crossing works have been completed and nature strip reinstated.
