Last call to comment on future road infrastructure plans in Kraaifontein region
20 September 2024
The City of Cape Town’s Urban Mobility Directorate has initiated a road infrastructure planning project for Lucullus Road; Amadeus Drive; Waarburgh Road and Maroela Road in the Kraaifontein region. The purpose of the project is to ensure existing and future land developments in the Fisantekraal; Joostenbergvlakte and Bloekombos areas are accessible. The City is calling on residents to submit their comments on the proposed road infrastructure designs before Friday, 27 September 2024.
'We urge residents and businesses who will be directly affected should these proposed road infrastructure plans be implemented alongside new developments in the region to please submit their comments, this is the last week you will be able to do so. Take a look at the road designs and potential design related impacts these plans could have in your area. These formal comments will be considered before the concept designs can be submitted to Council for approval,' said the City's Mayoral Committee Member for Urban Mobility, Councillor Rob Quintas.
The proposed road designs and plans pertain to the following sections of these roads:
• Lucullus Road from the N1 to Greenville
• Maroela Road from Old Paarl Road to the N1
• Waarburgh Road from Sparrow Lane to Lucullus Road Intersection
• Amadeus Drive from Darwin Street, over the railway line to the Lucullus Road Intersection
'Residents are reminded that this is a planning project, there is no intention for the City of Cape Town to initiate construction of these roads. The outcome of this project is Council approval of the concept designs and any related construction associated with this planning will most likely be driven by the developments in the area.
'The City's Urban Mobility Directorate has prioritised this fast growing region by accelerating and coordinating transport infrastructure planning for the area proactively. There are several planned developments for this region and others that are on the periphery of the project area, which forms part of this planning exercise,' said Councillor Quintas.
