Like making the whole of the CBD pedestrian, like tripling parking costs within the city centre, like fixing public transport, taking over the rail system and fixing that, cleaning up the bus system, getting the MyCity towards the airport working again, sorting out the taxi war..................THEN I'll tell them to build a cycle path from Westlake to the city centre, from Kayelitsha to town, from Durbanville to town.............all SEPARATE from existing roads, patrolled, secured and monitored to keep it safe. Oh, and a MyCity each for the Southern and Northern and Eastern Suburbs Expand and the new amazon offices at the river club are busy constructing some sort of huge foundation right in the river on the m5 side🤷♂️

No explanation, no notification that the account is active again, nothing from them at all.

Bernard Horn Posted March 30, 2022 Posted March 30, 2022 After another rant on fb about the safety on the cycle lane from Paardeneiland to CBD I decided to have a look because I am keen to start commuting again.Some spots in Paardeneiland with glass on the lane.Near Lower Church st bridge the plants between cycle lane and bus lane have been trimmed down so you have a clear view of section ahead. Metro cops at the N1 underpass.Saw 3 commuters around 5.30 pm.Won't use it in the dark early AM ,but thinking about using it in the afternoon on way home. Hairy and Zebra 2

Expand still wouldnt do it alone any time of the day.... The skollies are brazen and opportunistic in that area. They don't operate on a schedule. on a different but slightly related note...i drove on the n1 into town recently and saw some surveyors pointing levels, lazers and gps locators at and around lower church bridge.... so my built environment spidey sense tell me that bridge and offramps are getting upgraded soon.
