Residents to comment on proposed traffic calming measures in Khayelitsha, Mitchells Plain and surrounds
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 Khayelitsha, Mitchells Plain, Eerste River, Philippi, Kuils River and Blue Downs. The City intends to construct traffic calming measures and is asking residents to comment on these proposals by 31 July 2023 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:
Eerste River
Kuils River
Mitchells Plain
- Mitchell Avenue
- Assegaaibos Street
Khayelitsha
- Mongesi Road
- Citabatwe Crescent
- Lubelwana Street
- Msutwana Street
- Baninzi Street
- Maphongwana Avenue
- Mafunka Crescent
Philippi
- Acacia Street
- Ngqungqulu Road
Blue Downs
Interested and affected parties can view the designs and the list of affected streets/roads on
www.capetown.gov.za/haveyoursay and use the reference 110222315 for comment submissions on the mentioned suburbs.
Although it is the City's intention to implement calming measures at all the sites listed, there are cost-related variables which are still unknown at this point. Implementation will therefore be subject to availability of funding.
