EMU MOUNTAIN ROAD - SHARED PATHWAY · Report

GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING                                                               12 AUGUST 2024



Finance
There are no immediate financial implications as the project is to be funded and maintained by SCC.

Future concerns are raised for any required upgrades to the David Low Way roundabout and
crossing point are vested with TMR.

Risk & Opportunities
There is risk concerning safety of pedestrians and cyclists at the crossing point to the northern side
of David Low Way. The crossing is considered by TMR and SCC to be the safest crossing point due
to the lowest speed environment available and do not support crossing on Emu Mountain Road.
They propose improvement of the safety through modification of the roundabout to decrease vehicle
speed. The crossing point is under the jurisdiction of TMR for management of any ongoing concerns.
