SUMMARY
This is a recommendation to endorse the final Newtown
Local Area Traffic Management (LATM) report. The proposals within the report
are based on community input and analysis of feedback from the Public
Exhibition period in April 2019. There were 72 responses to the web survey
and an additional six responses were received. The results indicate that
there is general support for the proposed scheme, with suggested changes
considered during the review of the draft treatments. Once this
recommendation is endorsed by the Traffic Committee and Council, the projects
will be incorporated into future design and construction programs.
