Ecomobility World Festival: Briefing Document ECOMOBILITY WORLD FESTIVAL: BRIEFING DOCUMENT Pedestrians, cyclists and public transport users will be put first during the EcoMobile World Festival 2015 Public transport, cyclists and pedestrians will be given preference on the streets of Sandton during the month-long EcoMobility World Festival in October 2015. Road use will be changed on some of the streets in the Sandton CBD as well as some of the streets leading into Sandton but the City of Johannesburg is taking major steps to ensure that Sandton can continue to function as an important financial district and commercial hub. One of the aims of the EcoMobility World Festival is to give people a preview of a future transport system where public transport, walking and cycling become the modes of choice. The Sandton CBD, one of the busiest districts in South Africa, will be decongested and its streets turned into public spaces where people will be able to move from point to point using public transport, walking, cycling and eco-mobile vehicles. Changing the use of identified streets will lead to a certain level of “discomfort” for people entering Sandton but will not create “dysfunctionality”. The discomfort and inconvenience caused by the closures will be matched by the comfort of using public transport, walking and cycling around Sandton. The City is confident that retail businesses will benefit from the closure of the streets as the Festival is intended to attract “feet to the streets” in the form of pedestrians who will attend the various events hosted during the month and enjoy the opportunity to walk around in a car-free environment. A comprehensive Transport Management Plan (TMP) has been drawn up by the City after consultation with local stakeholders including residents, the business community and the hospitality sector, as well as extensive traffic studies. The changes introduced during the Festival are the start of process of long-term changes. The streets will now begin to give dignity to pedestrians, access to cyclists and safety to public transport users. 1 What will be different during the duration of the EcoMobility World Festival 2015 in the Sandton CBD? Below is the Eco-Mobility Footprint. The Footprint shows how the streets will be affected and changed in Sandton during the Festival period. Deliveries, people with disability, construction vehicles and private cars will still be able to reach their destinations throughout the EcoMobility Festival period. However, in some instances, the operations of the route will be changed which could result in delays to motorists in reaching their final destination. The City is urging those who are in a position to use public transport to do so during the Festival periods and beyond. It is anticipated that the implementation of the Transport Management Plan and the greater use of public transport will result in quicker journey times than using private vehicles to travel into and out of the Sandton footprint area The festival footprint is the area bounded by the following roads: Starting at the intersection of Rivonia and 5th Street around the Sandton Gautrain station, continue along Rivonia to the north to Fredman Drive; turn left into 5th Street to the intersection of 5th and Rivonia Street. A general speed limit of 30km/h will be signposted for the area within the EcoMobility Precinct. 2 The changes to the streets within the precinct will be implemented between the 4 and 31 October 2015. There will also be disruptions to general traffic flows on Saturday 3 October as the changes in the footprint area are implemented and on 1 November when the streets will be returned to regular use. West Street: West Street will be divided into two by a hoarding which will stretch from the corner of Fredman to near the entrance to the Michelangelo Hotel. Local vehicles, businesses, visitors, construction vehicles and affected businesses will be able to access their premises east of the median hoarding where no alternative access is possible. The Gautrain Station internal drop-off/pickup facility and parking area will be accessible from Rivonia Road through managed access. For the section north of the Gautrain station, the Michelangelo, 135 West, Sandown Clinic and Citibank (145 West), employees and visitors will be given access to these properties. Pedestrian conflict in the traffic will be controlled and managed by designated JMPD officers. Maude Street (West): Maude Street (West) between 5th Street and West Street will be fully accessible during weekdays from 5th Street only and will operate as a cul-de-sac with a turnaround facility at the break in the median at the Garden Court Hotel entrance. Maude Street (East): This street will only be accessible via the intersection of West and Fredman or from Stella Street with an eastbound exit onto Rivonia Road only. The street will be converted into a one-way for the period of the Festival. Alice Lane: Alice Lane will be fully accessible during weekdays from 5th Street only and will operate as a cul-de-sac with a turnaround facility at the intersection with West Street. Gwen Lane: Gwen Lane will be fully accessible during weekdays from Fredman Drive only and will generally operate as a cul-de-sac at Maude Street (no throughway). During weekday peak hours, traffic to the JSE, HSBC and Deutsche Bank will be able to exit onto Maude Street towards Rivonia Road via the current dedicated channelized island lane. Stella Street: This street will only be accessible via the intersection of West and Fredman with a northbound exit via the right turn onto Maude Street East. What is managed access? At all intersections leading to the Festival precinct, there will be JMPD officers supported by marshals who will inform traffic of the changes in road use and traffic flow. Commuters that still need to enter through the restricted areas within the festival precinct to access their businesses will be allowed to do so. No permits, stickers or accreditation is required. JMPD officials will also make sure that pedestrians and cyclists are protected from vehicular conflicts. For shuttle services: Please note that you will still be able to enter West Street at the corner of Rivonia to drop your customers off inside the Gautrain Station, but not in West Street. When vehicles exit the Gautrain Station, they will be required to turn south towards Rivonia Road. This means the managed-access entrance and exit for shuttle services will be from the intersection of Rivonia and West. Shuttles which carry eight or more people will be able to use the public transport loop. Other shuttle services, with fewer than eight passengers, will need to join the mixed traffic to reach their destination. 3 All vehicles requiring access to the north side of West Street or Stella Street will need to enter West Street from the corner of Fredman and West. These vehicles will travel on the eastern carriageway of West Street to access businesses that are on the eastern side of West Street, Maude Street and/or Stella Street. Delivery vehicles will be able to enter the various streets as above and the same restrictions on vehicles will also apply to delivery vehicles. The City encourages businesses to do deliveries during off-peak periods – between 9:00 and 15:00 or late at night. People with disabilities will still be able to access all areas. The south side of West Street will be reconstructed to be universally-accessible during the Festival. All efforts will be made to ensure that the public transport loop is universally accessible. The public transport loop A public transport loop will be established during the Festival along Rivonia, Fredman and 5th Streets. Extra pavement space will be created and there will be eight temporary bus stops erected indicating the destinations of the various buses or minibus taxis that will stop along the route. The bus stops will be at the following points for the following destinations: Bus stop or terminal Pick up or drop off for and from the following destinations: In Gautrain Station All mini bus taxi commuter services All Gautrain buses including from the following parka and rides: (Brightwater Commons (bus route S4) and Montecasino (bus route S5) S1: located at the intersection of Innesfree Park and Balfour Park Rivonia and 5th Street S2: located at the intersection of George Lea Park South Rivonia and West Street S3: located at the intersection of Randburg Square, Cresta and Westgate Rivonia Road and Maude Street S4: located at the intersection of Montecasino and Innesfree Park Rivonia Road and Fredman Drive S5: located at the intersection of Marie Servitude and Balfour Park Fredman Drive and Gwen Lane S6: located at the intersection of Brightwater Commons and George Lea Park South Fredman Drive and West Street S7: located at the intersection of Cresta, Westgate and Marie Servitude Alice Lane and 5th Street S8: located adjacent to Sandton Innesfree park and Balfour Park Library on 5th Street 4 While all accesses to buildings and roads will remain open, private car users are urged to be more vigilant along the loop. After the Festival, this temporary loop will be made permanent. In addition, there will be a demonstration commuter shelter at the corner of West and Fredman. After receiving feedback from the public, this shelter will be rolled out in different parts of the City. For people who want to get around the loop, there will be free hop-on-hop-off Minibus taxis that will operate a distribution service from 06:00 to 19:00. This Minibus taxis will be branded so that it will be easily recognisable. After the Festival, this temporary loop will be made permanent.

  • The PUTCO Strikes: a Question of Control Carole Cooper
    3 The PUTCO Strikes: a question of control Carole Cooper "We have been told by the Liaison Committee that the management of PUTCO has offered a 15% increase in wages to come into effect from 1 July 1980. We, the workers, do not know if you negotiated that for us or not. We know you did not consult us. We know, therefore, you do not know what our demands are for wages, or for improved conditions of service at the depots, or how management must show more respect for the dignity of the workers." This dissatisfaction sparked off one of the two strikes held by PUTCO bus drivers at the Putcoton depot in the last six months of 1980. Both strikes crippled transport to the black townships surrounding Johannesburg. The first strike, held in July, concerned the pay issue mentioned above, as well as union recognition, with other demands such as the transfer of a Company official and the reinstatement of workers dismissed during the strike, emerging later. The second strike, in December, broke out over an alleged breach of promise by management to investigate the said official's transfer as agreed upon at the resolution of the July strike. Although specific grievances were articulated during the respective strikes, an analysis of events and interviews with drivers reveal the existence of a complexity of grievances not clearly expressed at the time. The main thread that runs through both strikes, linking the articulated and other grievances is worker dissatisfaction with the structures of control - both management imposed and those arising out of the statutes governing labour re­ lations - to which PUTCO drivers are subject.

These two intersecting theoretical scaffoldings are completed by a geosemiotic approach (Scollon and Scollon 2003) to the discursive environment. The research therefore studies narrative interactions within communities of practice (Eckert and McConnell-Ginet 1992, 2007) across the spaces and fields of the research site of Sandton, Johannesburg; investigating both participant behaviour and discursive environment, in particular with respect to the semiotic landscape. It is a ‘new’ ethnography in that its aim is to better understand the new spaces of South Africa’s cities (Duff 2014). Methodologically the narrative interactions of participants are plotted onto the space of Sandton using GIS technology.

However, the state of route networks connectedness amongst the two public transport modes has not been well documented. Thus, this study aimed to delineate the extent of routes network integration among the two modes. The study adopted a phenomenological case study survey design which applied a mixed-method approach to gather spatial, qualitative and quantitative data. Crowd sourced datasets from Facebook and Twitter were collected, and analyzed using the kriging interpolation method and descriptive statistics. Key informant interviews were also used to unpack the status quo of the two modes. Results indicate that there are limited areas where the route networks between the two modes are currently integrated. Variations in income levels may be a factor currently preventing inter-transfer between the two modes. The Rea Vaya has proven successful in improving accessibility to economic opportunities, with 70% of the social media posts reflecting positive views regarding route and travel timetables.

  • Bus Rapid Transit System
    This report is publicly available on the NYC Global Partners’ Innovation Exchange website www.nyc.gov/globalpartners/innovationexchange Best Practice: Bus Rapid Transit System REPORT UPDATED: MARCH 21, 2012 CITY: JOHANNESBURG POLICY AREAS: CLIMATE CHANGE; TRANSPORTATION BEST PRACTICE Launched in 2006, Johannesburg’s Rea Vaya, which means ―we are going,‖ is the first Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system in South Africa. The Rea Vaya is a joint project between the City of Johannesburg and private partners. The development of low -carbon transport in Johannesburg has positioned the City as a leader in tackling climate change and now serves as an example for other African cities. ISSUE With increasing congestion on the roads, a rapidly growing population and an inadequate public transportation system, Johannesburg has faced the challenge of developing new transportation solutions that would not only be safe, affordable and fast, but would also improve the quality of life of its residents. In an effort to improve public transportation and address safety issues, and accelerated all the more by preparations for the 2010 World Cup, the City of Johannesburg launched a transportation action plan in 2005 to move toward a more sustainable, low-carbon transport system. GOALS AND OBJECTIVES By 2020, the City plans to roll out 122 kilometers (75.8 miles) of mainline BRT corridors served by 150 stations and 250 kilometers (155.3 miles) of formal feeder routes. The long-term objective is to provide a network of some 330 kilometers (205 miles) of lanes that are easily accessible to more than 80% of the people of Johannesburg.

  • Chapter 1 BOMMASTANDI of ALEXANDRA TOWNSHIP
    Chapter 1 BOMMASTANDI OF ALEXANDRA TOWNSHIP 1.1. Background In 1912 the following billboard written in Sotho, Zulu and English appeared in Alexandra Township advertising freehold properties. First, this advert points to the obvious; Africans were already engaging in private property at the turn of the 20th century. This township was subdivided into 2,500 stands which were sold to individuals. Title deeds were given to the individuals once payment was concluded. Second, it indicates that Africans were acquiring private property away from a „traditional village‟ where access to property is said to be communal. A closer look at the acquisition processes of such properties unsettles the notion of private property as individual. It becomes increasingly clear in the study that in spite of the naming of an individual in the titled deed it was not uncommon for family resources to be pooled during acquisition of the said property and hence a shared ownership among members of extended families would be understood. The following conversations attest to some of these experiences. Mme Mihloti explains how her parents and her siblings purchased their properties. 1 Ko 15th o ka re ke nako e abuti a bereka le mosu ausi, ke bona ba neng ba thusa mokgalabe. ......... Bona ke itse ba berekile ba thusa, ba ntshitse chelete ausi le abuti, ena Lucas. …….1 (It seemes like when my brother and sister were working, they are the ones who helped the old man with purchasing the property at 15th Avenue. I do know that they contributed some money helping our father in acquiring the properties…… Another example is drawn from mme Hunadi‟s family.
