14 October 2025

The City’s Urban Mobility Directorate would like to remind residents in Mitchells Plain and Strandfontein or any interested parties to submit comments on the proposal to upgrade and construct non-motorised transport (NMT) infrastructure in Mitchells Plain and Strandfontein.

The infrastructure has been proposed for Spine Road and Strandfontein Road along the following sections:

• Strandfontein Road: between Spine Road and Strandfontein Pavillion

The scope of the project will include:

• Upgrading and maintaining NMT facilities and ensuring facilities are universally accessible

• Upgrading and installing dropped kerbs and tactile ground surface indicators for the visually impaired

• Upgrading pedestrian crossings by shortening the crossing distances, improving signage and road markings

• Introducing protected cycle lanes where applicable

Residents can view the designs on www.capetown.gov.za/haveyoursay

‘The proposed upgrades to the NMT facilities along these busy roads are always aimed at ensuring that our facilities are universally accessible and to improve the road safety for all of our road users,’ said the City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Urban Mobility, Councillor Rob Quintas.
