Comment on the draft concept designs for Chapel Street, District Six

<span> <h2 class="sectHeading">About</h2></span> <p> The City’s Urban Planning and Design Department: Urban Design Branch will be presenting the draft concept designs for the upgrading of Chapel Street. </p><p> This project builds on the strong foundations of the City’s previous work, the <a href="https://resource.capetown.gov.za/documentcentre/Documents/City%20strategies%2c%20plans%20and%20frameworks/D6_Public_Realm_Strategy_Combined.pdf" target="_blank">District Six Public Realm Strategy (2021-22)</a>, where we identified Chapel Street as an important historical street. <br></p><p>An opportunity lies in connecting the existing fabric of District Six on the eastern side of the elevated freeway to the recently returned community on the western side of the freeway. </p><p> Chapel Street connects Trafalgar Park to New Hanover Street and the CBD and, in doing so, aims to stitch the neighbourhoods together. </p><p>The objective of the project is to implement upgrades that existing communities can benefit directly from, namely public spaces and street spaces.<br></p><p> <a href="https://resource.capetown.gov.za/documentcentre/Documents/Graphics%20and%20educational%20material/ChapelOpenHousePosters_Booklet.pdf" target="_blank">Access the draft concept designs</a>.<br></p><p>You can also access the proposal documents at <a href="https://www.capetown.gov.za/Family%20and%20home/See-all-city-facilities/Our-service-facilities/Libraries/Central%20Public%20Library">Central Public Library</a>.<br></p> <span> <h2 class="sectHeading">Open day</h2></span> <p>Join us at the open day for an opportunity to view and comment on the proposal.</p> <span> <div class="mobile-scroll"> <table><thead><tr><th>Date</th><th>Time</th><th>Venue</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Saturday, 27 May 2023<br></td><td>10:00 – 15:00</td><td> Lydia Centre for Memory (Cnr St Phillips and Chapel Streets, District Six)</td></tr></tbody></table></div></span> <p> We will use the open day to address the achievability of the proposal and establish high priority areas in relation to: </p><ul><li>pedestrian-oriented environment </li><li>greening </li><li>movement interventions as required (e.g. traffic calming, narrowing of roads and widening of sidewalks) </li></ul> <span> <h2 class="sectHeading">Comment period<br></h2></span> <p>Submit your comments from <strong>27 May – 30 June 2023</strong>.</p> <span> <h2 class="sectHeading">Submit your comment</h2></span> <p> Submit your comments via the following channels:</p><p> <strong>Online</strong><br><a href="https://www.capetown.gov.za/_layouts/15/WebFeedback.SharePoint/webfeedback.aspx?id=%20ce50ae29-5db8-42b4-981b-d0de7d80c6e0" target="_blank">Submit your comment online</a>.<br></p><p> <strong>Delivery</strong><br>Deliver your comments by hand to:</p><p> <em>Sub-Council 16 Offices</em><br><em>11th Floor </em> <br> <em>44 Wale Street </em> <br> <em>Cape Town </em> <br> <em>8000</em><br> </p><p> <em>or </em></p><p><em>Central Library <br>1 Parade Street<br>Cape Town City Centre<br>Cape Town<br>8000</em><br></p> <span> <h2 class="sectHeading">Contact us</h2></span> <p>For more information and general enquiries, contact:</p><h4>Public Participation Unit</h4><p> <em>Telephone: <br> <a>0800 212 176</a><br><br> Email: <br> <a href="mailto:public.participation@capetown.gov.za">public.participation@capetown.gov.za</a> </em></p>
