2. (1) Since the Planning and Building of BRT Lanes Falls Within The 2. (1) Since the planning and building of BRT lanes falls within the competence of the City, we have taken the liberty of approaching the City to assist with a response to Parliamentary Question 2.1. Their response is as follows: The City has recently approved the 2032 Integrated Public Transport Network Plan. This plan indicates the role of the appropriate public transport modes to provide users of the system with solutions to enable travel in a seamless and cost effective manner. It considers the public transport network as one integrated network of rail and road- based modes with the appropriate mode responding to the required function to ensure maximum efficiency and viability of the system. The IPTN builds on rail as the highest order of public transport and augments this network by providing BRT trunk routes to support the rail and serve areas rail does not. It should be noted that rail in the future is planned to be greatly improved in terms of the rail modernisation project and the provision of additional capacity. The BRT trunk routes in the planned network provide mobility for the areas not served by rail and do not compete with rail. Both rail and BRT are supported by a system of feeder routes which are scheduled and serve the local areas, linking residential areas to jobs and schools in the area, and these feeder routes link to the rail and BRT trunk routes for longer distance destinations. These feeder routes are shown in red in the map below and indicate the type of alignments that could occur. The exact alignments of these routes will be determined at a greater level of detail when the corridor designs are undertaken in the future. The IPTN is based on a scenario for urban growth in approximately 20 years and therefore the modes in the IPTN are also related to the projected spatial development and growth in the City in the future. Although sometimes opposing principles, both service quality and financial sustainability were considered as some of the key drivers in the selection of the network and the appropriate modes to serve the varying demands in different areas. In terms of the areas raised in the parliamentary question, the IPTN has the following future routes planned: a) Greater Kraaifontein area: This area is served by rail with improved operations and is supported by a trunk BRT route, T19. This route’s description is included below and is indicated in light purple in the maps below. This area is further served by scheduled feeder routes which serve the local area between residential and economic areas and schools, as well as linking the area to the rail and the BRT trunk route. Route number: T19 Route name: Wallacedene – Durbanville – Bellville – Parow – Century City Description: Bloekombos area, Old Paarl Road, Van Riebeeck St, Langeberg Rd, Wellington Rd, Durbanville Ave, Durban Rd, Frans Conradie Dr, new road through Wingfield to Sable Rd, Ratanga Rd terminus station b) Fisantekraal/Klipheuwel: This area is primarily served by rail along the existing alignment. The operations on the rail will be improved significantly to cater for the future demand in this area and the IPTN Operational Plan will provide the details of these operations. Scheduled feeder routes in the area will serve the local area and feed to the rail. No dedicated BRT trunk route is provided to Fisantekraal due to the rail providing adequate capacity in the future when the operations are improved. c) Bellville/Parow area: The Belville and Parow areas are well served in the future IPTN, with the existing rail lines providing improved operations. The rail is supported by a number of trunk routes in the future, and once again these are supported by scheduled feeder routes. The BRT trunk routes are as follows: a. T19 – as described above for the Kraaifontien area b. T13, T14 and T16, as described below: Route number: T13 Route name: Mitchell’s Plain – Symphony Way – Bellville – Durbanville Description: Kapteinsklip Station, Merrydale Ave, Eisleben Rd, New Eisleben Rd, Jeff Masemola Rd, Symphony Way, Robert Sobukwe Rd, Belrail Rd, Bellville PT Interchange, Charl Malan St, Voortrekker Rd, Durban Rd (alternatively new link via Kort St extension), Willie Van Schoor (northwards)/ Durban Rd (southwards), Durbanville Ave, Main Rd, Wellington Rd, New Street Terminus.

  • Bellville, Durbanville, Bloekombos, Wallacedene
    STAATSKOERANT, 11 OKTOBER 2012 No. 35781 3 GENERAL NOTICE NOTICE 826 OF 2012 INTENTION TO INSTITUTE EXTRAORDINARY MEASURES IN A DECLARED AREA Background and purpose of regulations 1. Over the past few months (July 2012 - September 2012) a number of operators have been murdered in the greater Belly' Ile area due to taxi-related conflict. The Department of Transport and Public Works have received numerous reports from various sources indicating growing tension and associated violent confrontations between minibus-taxi operators affiliated to the Be liville Taxi Association (BELTA), Durbanville Taxi Assocaition and Bloekombos Wallacedene Taxi Association. This has brought to an end a 30-month period of relative peace and stability in the taxi industry. These route associations form part of the CATA (Cape Amalgamated Taxi Association) region. Numerous attempts were made by the Department to resolve internal disputes within and between these associations. Mediators contracted by the Department have been dispatched tothe affected areas to gather information and to meet with affected operators in the area. These attempts have been relatively fruitless and the situation on the ground remains highly volatile. 2.After carefully analysing the situation itis my considered view that the safety of passengers, operators, drivers and people entering the area is compromised by the ongoing conflict between members of the mentioned associations. There is also the possibility that this tension will spread to surrounding areas and ultimately impact the entire metropolitan area. This should be averted and it is the intention of the Department to act decisively and to take action against offending operators. Proposed Action/Regulations 3.As the MEC for Transport and Public Works in the Province of the Western Cape, it is my intention to invoke my powers in terms of section 91 of the National Land Transport Act (Act 5 of 2009)(NLTA).

  • Implementing Sanitation for Informal Settlements: Conflicting Rationalities in South Africa
    Implementing sanitation for informal settlements: Conflicting rationalities in South Africa By Lina Taing University of Cape Town Dissertation submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) Department of Political Studies Supervisors: Vinothan Naidoo & Robert Cameron December 2015 The copyright of this thesis vests in the author. No quotation from it or information derived from it is to be published without full acknowledgement of the source. The thesis is to be used for private study or non- commercial research purposes only. Published by the University of Cape Town (UCT) in terms of the non-exclusive license granted to UCT by the author. University of Cape Town One of the things we’re often struggling with in the water and sanitation section is that we’d love for there to be a magic bullet. We’d love for there to be a magic solution. And certainly companies and NGOs call me all the time, saying we found the thing, and I’d love to believe that can happen. But the fact is, that’s not the way it works. It’s a big, complicated sector. The needs are enormous. The challenges are huge… we’ve got to think less about what is the magic bullet and what is the best technology, and more about how to come up with a tailor-made solution that suits the capacity of the people we’re trying to help. Clarissa Brocklehurst, the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) Chief of Water, Sanitation and Hygiene from 2007-2011, on technology-driven rationales in the sanitation sector (Frontline, 2014) Sanitation is not simply a technical problem; it’s a social problem with emotional overtones.
