5.1.1 Cost Estimate Assumptions
The indicative unit costs shown in for the purposes of costing the prioritised pedestrian improvement works. Table 5-2 Indicative Cost Estimate Assumptions

Where possible, unit rates provided by the Council have been used directly. For items where costs were not available previous studies, estimation and professional judgement have been used. These costs are indicative and are subject to change and make no allowances for contingencies or actual site design and installation.
5.2 Speed
Vehicle speeds is a significant factor in pedestrian safety. It is noted that Council has a number of existing 40km/h High Pedestrian Activity Areas (HPAA). In addition, 30km/h restrictions are currently being trialled in a number of other Council areas. Once these trials have been completed and TfNSW guidelines updated accordingly, consideration should be given to further opportunities for reducing speed limits e.g. Five Dock Town Centre. The proposed works identified in this plan include a number of raised pedestrian crossings and raised intersection treatments, these will reduce vehicles speeds and enhance pedestrian safety.
