City proposes renaming of MyCiTi Phoenix station to MyCiTi Freedom station
1 November 2023
The City is proposing that a MyCiTi station name be changed from Phoenix station to Freedom station.‘The station is situated close to Freedom Way in Joe Slovo and, therefore, the City is proposing that the station name be changed from Phoenix station to Freedom station. Engagements with the political leadership and community resulted in support for the public participation process to be undertaken to establish whether the community supports the proposed name change. We invite residents to indicate whether they support or object to the proposed name,’ said the City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Urban Mobility, Councillor Rob Quintas.
The public and interested and affected parties are encouraged to submit comments, recommendations or input by 30 November 2023.
