05 July 2023
The City of Cape Town’s Urban Mobility Directorate is calling on residents to comment on the proposed traffic calming measures in various areas such as Atlantis, Melkbosstrand, Kensington and surrounding suburbs. The City intends to construct traffic calming measures and would like input from interested residents. The public have an opportunity until 31 July 2023 to provide feedback for the City to consider.
'We have identified roads in suburbs across Cape Town where there are large numbers of vulnerable road users. These are mostly roads that are close to schools, hospitals, and old age homes, for example. These proposed traffic calming measures will enhance road safety for all road users, which is a top priority for the City,' said the City's Mayoral Committee Member for Urban Mobility, Councillor Rob Quintas.
The areas that will be included are:
Kensington
- Eighth Avenue
- Factreton Avenue
- Avro Avenue
- Boston Street
Rivergate
Mamre
Pinelands
Melkbosstrand
- 11th Avenue & Commaille Road
- Waratah Avenue
- Newark Street
Atlantis
- Valk Street
- Montreal Drive
- Fiskaal Straat
- Clearwater Way
- Nightingale Road
- Grosvenor Avenue
- Sampson Road
- Colebrook Street
Observatory
- Kipling Street
Interested and affected parties can view the designs and the list of affected streets/roads on www.capetown.gov.za/haveyoursay and use reference 110222316 for comment submissions on these suburbs.
Although it is the City's intention to implement calming measures at all of the sites listed, there are cost-related variables which are still unknown at this point. Implementation will therefore be subject to availability of funding.
