RESOLVED that having considered the City of Cape Town Traffic Calming Policy and the recommendation from Transport Planning & Network Management Department;
-
Gardenia Avenue is a Class 4 Collector located within a medium-density residential area of Devils Peak Estate.
-
Our assessment indicated that Ixia Park is located along Gardenia Avenue to attract vulnerable or high concentrations of pedestrian activity across the study roadway.
-
Our assessment indicated that Ixia Park is located along Gardenia Avenue to attract vulnerable or high concentrations of pedestrian activity across the study roadway.
-
There is an existing traffic calming measure and signage in advance of the traffic calming measure along Gardenia Avenue, which is sufficient for mitigating vehicle/pedestrian conflict.
-
Therefore, the potential for pedestrian/vehicle conflict along Gardenia Avenue is considered low and non-compliant with Section 7(3) of the Traffic Calming Policy.
-
Given the above and considering the City of Cape Town Traffic Policy, regretfully traffic-calming measures cannot currently be considered along Gardenia Avenue.
