Construction of pedestrian footways in Bellville, Uitzicht, Eversdal and Peerless Park West

17 March 2026

The City of Cape Town’s Urban Mobility Directorate has commenced with the construction of pedestrian footways along several road segments to improve safety and accessibility for residents. The affected streets include Riesling in Bellville, Vatican Street in Uitzicht, Sondal Road and Kendal Road in Eversdal, and Raan Street in Peerless Park West, Kraaifontein. Work will take place between 07:00 and 17:00, Monday to Saturday, and is expected to continue until Wednesday, 29 April 2026, subject to weather conditions and other unforeseen delays.

‘The construction of new pedestrian footways in Bellville, Uitzicht, Eversdal and Peerless Park West involves preparing the road sites, strengthening the ground, installing new edges and kerbs, improving drainage, and finally laying the footpaths.
These upgrades will make it safer and easier for residents to walk in their neighbourhoods and encourage more people to choose active ways of getting around. We thank residents for their patience while this important work is under way as we continue working to keep Cape Town moving,’ said the City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Urban Mobility, Councillor Rob Quintas.
