The opportunity to submit comments, recommendations or input on traffic calming measures is now open and will close on Wednesday, 24 April 2024. <br></p> | <p>The proposed traffic calming measures include the construction of speed humps, raised intersections and pedestrian crossings as well as a mini-circle. The affected areas are:</p><p>• Gugulethu </p><p>• Nyanga </p><p>• Heideveld</p><p>• Manenberg </p><p>• Surrey Estate </p><p>• Lansdowne</p><p>• Kenwyn </p><p>• Greenhaven </p><p>• Primrose Estate</p><p>• Hlathi Village </p><p>• Pelican Park </p><p>• Lavender Hill</p><p>• Plumstead </p><p>• Southfield </p><p>• Wynberg</p><p>• Claremont </p><p>• Steenberg </p><p>• Mowbray</p><p>• Belgravia </p><p>• Lotus River </p><p>• Hanover Park</p><p>• Fish Hoek </p><p>Although it is the City's intention to implement traffic calming measures at all the sites listed above, these will be subject to the availability of funding.</p><p>'Traffic calming measures are a great tool in safeguarding road users in our communities.
