The City of Cape Town\u2019s Mayoral Committee Member for Transport, Roads and Stormwater, Councillor Brett Herron has announced that the City is extending the trial phase of the prohibition on the use of bicycles, skateboards and rollerblades on the Sea Point Promenade, until the end of summer, 31 March 2013.<\/p>\n
The trial was implemented for Transport Month (October)as part of the City\u2019s efforts to build an \u2018Inclusive City.\u2019 As part of the extension of this trial the City\u2019s Share the Space signage will be enhanced, to create awareness amongst all users of the promenade.\u00a0 <\/p>\n
\u201cThe City\u2019s Active Mobility experts monitored the situation very closely during the trial phase and these on-site observations by City staff doing surveys reflected courteous behaviour from all users,\u201d Councillor Herron says. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt is a source of great pride for me that new promenade users answered our call to remain courteous and considerate, especially towards more vulnerable users. Cyclists, skateboarders and roller-bladders heeded our request that they give right of way to pedestrians, prams and wheelchair users and travel at a sensible, safe and prudent pace.\u201d <\/p>\n
The extension of the lifting of the prohibition will continue to affect the full length of the promenade, from Mouille Point to Queen\u2019s Beach. <\/p>\n
\u201cI would like to thank local representatives of the various types of non-motorised transport for launching extensive Twitter and Facebook campaigns to remind their members of the basic rules of etiquette expected from Active Mobility users on the promenade,\u201d says Herron.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will continue to monitor the situation closely during this next phase.\u201d <\/p>\n
Councillor Beverley Schafer, ward councillor for the Atlantic Seaboard, has agreed to the extension. \u201cThe true impact of the introduction of new types of Active Mobility to the Sea Point Promenade can only be ascertained if we extend it through the busy summer season.\u201d <\/p>\n
Herron says the initiative is \u201ca logical extension\u201d of the Share the Road Campaign, which encourages all road users including cyclists, pedestrians and motorists to share roads courteously and safely. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
