Last call to comment on proposed one-way conversion of Acacia Road, Kraaifontein

20 September 2024

Road users and businesses in the Kraaifontein Industria area are reminded to comment on the proposal to convert Acacia Road into a permanent one-way road in a clockwise direction. The closing date for comments is 27 September 2024. The City’s intention is to improve traffic flow during peak periods and ensure access to businesses. 

'It is very important for the City to see residents and businesses actively participating in this process. Please share your views on the proposal to convert Acacia Road in Kraaifontein Industria into a one-way. Traffic congestion is having an impact on businesses that depend on walk-in trade, with access to properties being currently restricted. We need to keep Cape Town moving. Officials will collate and asses all input prior to moving forward with this proposal,' said the City's Mayoral Committee Member for Urban Mobility, Councillor Rob Quintas.

In terms of Section 17 of the Local Government: Municipal Systems Act, Act 32 of 2000, the public and interested parties or groups are given the opportunity to submit comments, recommendations or input on the traffic calming measures to the municipality.
