The commenting period will be open until 2 December 2023. Read more below:
‘Our Urban Mobility Directorate has proposed various traffic calming measures in these areas to enhance pedestrian safety, particularly around schools where the highest concentration of vulnerable road users are typically encountered. Receiving comments and suggestions from these communities is a vital aspect of our planning process and I urge residents to take a look at the plans on the City’s website and not to hesitate to make contact with us should they have any questions or comments,’ said the City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Urban Mobility, Councillor Rob Quintas.
Although it is the City’s intention to implement calming measures at all the sites listed via the link below, there are cost-related variables which are still unknown at this point. Implementation will therefore be subject to funding availability.
