The City of Cape Town is calling on residents and interested parties to comment on the proposal to upgrade and construct non-motorised transport (NMT) infrastructure in Brackenfell, Kraaifontein, Wallacedene and Bloekombos. The closing date for comments is Friday, 7 March 2025.
The scope of the project will include:
• Upgrading and maintaining NMT facilities in Brackenfell, Kraaifontein, Wallacedene and Bloekombos 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, and improving signage and road markings
• Introducing protected cycle lanes where applicable
‘The proposed upgrades to the Non-Motorised Transport facilities in Brackenfell, Kraaifontein, Wallacedene and Bloekombos have been carefully planned by the Urban Mobility team to suit the needs of pedestrians, cyclists and individuals with disabilities. We have identified the need for this infrastructure in these communities and want to improve road safety for the residents. This is another way we are working towards keeping the residents in Cape Town moving. Residents still have another week to review these proposals, your input is always valuable as the project team makes the final decisions pertaining to this project,’ said the City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Urban Mobility, Councillor Rob Quintas.
