Proposed permanent road closures in Ottery
The City of Cape Town’s Transport Directorate intends the permanent full or partial closure of certain roads to vehicular traffic in Ottery.
Residents are reminded that the City previously approved the concept design of trunk routes and station locations for Phase 2A, which will provide safe, quality, rapid and direct MyCiTi services linking Khayelitsha and Mitchells Plain with Wynberg and Claremont.
As part of the detailed design phase now underway, some roads are identified to be either fully or partially closed to vehicular traffic to provide for stations, intersection improvements, upgrades to walking and cycling facilities, and dedicated public transport lanes, and to improve safety for all road users.
