Mosman Roundup: New school crossing, Christmas markets, 9000 trees planted.
By ANNA USHER
A new children’s crossing outside Mosman Public School is set to be installed in time for the new school year.
Council at its November meeting supported a recommendation from the Local Traffic Committee to replace an existing zebra crossing on Myahgah Road, near Belmont Road, with a new combined raised children’s crossing.
It follows community consultation on the proposal.
The work will be funded with a $112,111 grant from the Transport for NSW Get NSW Active Program, with the remainder financed through Council’s capital works program.
The project is scheduled to commence during the upcoming school holidays for completion by late January 2024.
Christmas Dinner Delivery
Mosman Meals is gearing up for a busy festive period, having already delivered more than 20,000 meals in the past financial year.
Orders are opening soon for Christmas dinners to enjoy at home.
Roast turkey and leg ham meals, combined with traditional trimmings, are on the menu alongside pudding and custard desserts.
Meals are available for collection or delivery from 4 to 21 December.

New Trees
Efforts to enhance the natural environment in Mosman have been boosted through the planting of about 9000 trees and native tubestock in the past financial year.
Residents and volunteers participated in planting projects to improve biodiversity in bushland areas and additions to parks and streets have contributed to existing tree avenues.
Maintaining and enhancing the quality of Mosman’s green spaces and protecting the natural environment is an ongoing priority for Council and the community.
