6. Ward 103:  Mosselbank Road, Windsor Park, Kraaifontein (TNDN2548):  Requests for traffic calming measures

 
Correction : For the purposes of clarity : Annexure F referred to in the item referring to email liaison between Ald Fourie and Willie Liebenberg dated 26 April 2019 to investigate the placement of a raised intersection at Mosselbank / Robin intersection – outcome awaited, was referred to Siphelele Mehlo for investigation and dealt with correspondence re Mosselbank / Milton North, contents reading as follows :.
 
“I was informed by the ward councillor that we need to take the item to the Subcouncil to formally log the request. He indicated that raised intersection(s) at specific intersections might be the most preferred solution, but that he would await your formal response. The 1^st raised intersection, which should be prioritised, especially with the proposed church (currently being constructed) on the erven as indicated on the map below.
 
Therefore kindly provide me with the following:
1.     Log Number
2.   Comment iro placement on schools programme (next financial year) as indicated by Nobesutho on 11 April 2019 (see extract of her email)
        This has not been investigated. The desktop assessment shows that there are no schools located along Mosselbank however it is in the close proximity to the school, which may have the potential for qualifying for traffic calming but will require further investigation. It must be noted that where remedial measures are recommended, these may only be considered in the immediate vicinity of the School and not along the entire length of the road.
3.     Comment iro the proposal of the ward councillor to consider a raised intersection at Robin Rd, Mosselbank, Camden Gate Close Intersection
4.     Comment on proposal of Willie Liebenberg (subjoined email)”
 
UNANIMOUSLY RESOLVED
