Interchange upgrade is ready to ride P
UBLIC transport is getting a R321 million face-lift.
A growth in demand is forcing the City to upgrade the public transport interchanges over a five-year period. There will be a specific focus on 25 interchanges, which the City says are “places where transport services meet”. Mayoral Committee Member for Transport Brett Herron says the proposed upgrades will ensure that transport is “accessible and inclusive, providing links between the communities and employment, education, health, community services and other services” Herron adds these upgrades will ensure the transport interchanges become “ interesting social spaces and lively parts of the City”. This improvement programme forms part of the City’s Mobility Strategy, which supports the development of a balanced transport system. It focuses on all elements of transport. The City currently has over 213 public interchanges of different sizes and functionality. These facilities are located along the rail- and road-based public transport network where commuters can change between different types of transportation. “Over 54% of our commuters depend on public transport, whether by road or trains. As a result, most of the public transport interchanges are overcrowded due to growth in demand over the past years. They need to be expanded urgently,” says Herron. The 25 projects, including parkand-ride facilities at five inter-

changes to be implemented over the next five years, are in various stages of development. A number of the projects are currently in design, tender and under construction. Upgrades are scheduled at the following interchanges in the Cape Town CBD, Mitchell’s Plain, Lentegeur, Du Noon, Retreat, Wynberg, Bellville and Nyanga. New interchange projects are scheduled for Kuyasa, Bayside, Somerset West, Imizamo Yethu, Masiphumelele, Nomzamo, Samora Machel, Scottsdene, Wallacedene, Makhaza, Nolungile, Macassar, Durbanville and Vryground. A number of interventions – from the creation of new facilities to upgrades of existing facilities to meet increases in demand – will be investigated to ensure integrated precinct developments. Precinct developments include provision of signage, close-circuit TVs and surveillance facilities, lighting, landscaping, integration of trading facilities and health facilities. Herron states that “once the process for acquiring professional service providers and additional capacity is completed, the affected subcouncils, ward councillors and affected communities will be consulted on the design and plan for the facilities”. The City will pay particular attention to commuter safety of commuters at interchanges. To this end, a dedicated law enforcement unit will be deploye. A tender will be issued for service providers to keep these environments clean, while there will also be on-going maintenance of the interchanges to prevent vandalism.
