MOUILLE Point residents may soon haveanother public space to enjoy the outdoors.However, the spacewill comeat a cost – theirparking bays.

Surrey Place may be closed to parkingduring the ward 54 committee pilot project,aimed at allowing the space to be opened upto pedestrians.

The committee made the decision to pur-sue the temporary closure after a recent traf-fic study was carried out in the area.

The study found Surrey Place to be one ofthe most congested areas in terms of park-ing, with the added concern that driverssometimes treat the one-way street as a two-way road. This sees drivers pulling out infront of motorists on Beach Road, who arecoming around a bend and often at speed.

The road was made a one-way after build-ings in the area caused the road to narrow.This led to traffic jams and dangerous ac-tions, such as U-turns, as the traffic tried toget to Beach Road, ward councillor BeverleySchafer says.

The study suggested closing this space offand prohibiting parking, except for loadingand disabled bays. The open space couldthen be utilised for outdoor activates.

“We would like to see the space opened upinto a public walkway, or have restaurants

rent the space for outdoor seating. It’s a hiveof activity,” Schafer says.

The proposed closure is for three monthsand will be assessed for impact on traffic.

Responses to the proposed closure havebeen mixed.

“It’s a great idea!” resident Vinod Thomassays. “It would be nice to be able to walkacross it or sit and eat outside. I think thereis enough parking on Beach Road and theycan do away with the few bays at SurreyPlace.”

JaneMeyer, of theMouille Point Ratepay-ers’ Association, says they are in favour ofthe proposed closure.

“We will have to look at the full proposal,but we support the idea. However, there aresome considerations to take into account,such as some planned building develop-ments that may need access to Surrey Place.We also will need to liaise with businessesin the area as to their needs,” she says.

However, Briony Schapiro, the owner ofNewportDeliwhichwould be affected by theclosure of Surrey Place, declined to com-ment.

Some are concerned that losing the park-ing will only add to congestion in other are-as.

“It will be a nightmare!” Mouille Point lo-cal Pauline Assad says. “Where will thosecars park? We have to have this parking or

they must build supplementaryparking somewhere else.”

SOMEare saying theCity ofCapeTown’s planfor the unfinished freeways on the Foreshoreis not heeding public opinion.This after a recent poll found 50% of re-spondents wanted to see the unfinished high-way on the Foreshore demolished.The poll by think tank Future Cape Townfound that half of the 206 participants in theinteractive study in the CBD said they wouldlike to see the sections of unfinished highwaydemolished and the city centre reconnectedwith the harbour and sealine with prome-nades and public parks.However, the findings go against a project

currently underway between council andUCT.The Future Foreshore Project, launchedearlier this year, aims to look at innovativeways to use the partially built freeways andgenerate ideas on the development of theForeshore area.The ideas for the project all “centre aroundusing the existing structures”, saysBrett Her-ron, the Mayoral Committee member forTransport, Roads and Stormwater.

While he says there has been a positiveresponse to the project, Professor FrancisPetersen, Dean of UCT’s Faculty of Engi-neering and the Built Environment, disa-grees.“Public response thus far to the projecthas been lower than anticipated,” Petersensays.And some feel the City is simply not lis-tening.Phakanile Mbuyazwe is in favour ofkeeping the existing freeway structures,but says he has reservations as to the pub-lic participation in the project.“I feel the City will just do what theywant, irrespective of what people say,” hesays.Mandisi Mtsotso agrees. “I think theyshould be demolished. They are standingthere for nothing.”The public is encouraged to come for-ward with ideas, Petersen says.“Public opinion is important and will beconsidered. Public opinion and input willbe provided through an existing websiteand Facebook page. Students will presentseminars on their ideas, which will also beopen to the public.”And demolition is not completely off thecards.“Student ideas on this project are not re-stricted, and demolishing the freewaycould be an option,” Petersen says.However, he adds, factors such as publicperception, cost and the economic viabilityof demolition will have to be assessed.Herron explains that the designs and ide-as provided by the students may includeconnecting of the harbour and the CityBowl, however, Environmental Impact As-sessments have to be taken into considera-tion. “The purpose of the relationship withUCT is to put forward all viable alterna-tives for the future of the Foreshore pre-cinct,whichmayculminate inpossible fur-ther development or demolition.”Thepublicwill be able to commenton thedesigns via a public participation phase,Herron says.Submissions from students are due to bepresented to theCity byOctober orNovem-ber.Ideas and comments can be submitted di-rectly to Kas Chandramohan from UCT on(021) 650-5269 or via email at [email protected] can also be posted on the Fu-ture Foreshore Precinct webpage atwww.capetown.gov.za/FutureForeshore.

ATHLETES can dust off their runningshoes in anticipation for opening of the newathletics track at the Cape Town Stadium.The facility will open within the next two

months.The stadium will ensure that Capeto-

nians have a quality facility in which totrain and reach their potential in athletics,as well as providing a space for major ath-letic events, says Belinda Walker, the May-oral Committee member for CommunityServices. “This stadium stands to becomethe centre of athletics throughout theWest-ern Cape and will take Cape Town forwardas a world-class destination for athletics,”Walker says.Construction on the stadium began in

January last year and was expected to becompleted by the end of April at a cost ofR83m, Walker says.Itwill havea capacity of 5 000 seats,which

can be expanded to 7 000 seats for specialevents andwill include at least 310 adjacentparking bays. “The stadium will be a stateof the art athletics facility that will provideworld class service to track and field ath-letes. Some of these services will include abrand new track and features like a physio-therapy room, aVIP area, a call room, ame-dia area, changing rooms with ablutions,storage rooms and operational facilities,”she saysAtlantic Athletic Club, based in Green

Point, will be one of the clubs to benefitfrom the new track. Club administrator,Sue Ullyett, says their members are “veryexcited” as the new track offers athletes thechance to use world class facilities that areright on their doorstep. “From what I’ve

seen, it really is a stunning stadium and wecan’t wait for it to open. It will also hopeful-ly give us the opportunity to watch top ath-letes in actionwhen the stadiumhosts vari-ous athletics meetings.”The Cape Peninsula University of Tech-

nology (CPUT) Athletics Club, which waspreviously accommodated at the old GreenPoint Stadium, will be based at the newtrack. The facility will also be available forlocal schools and clubs for athletics events,through bookings made at the City’s Sport,Recreation and Amenities Department inconjunction with Western Province Athlet-ics.Other resident are also looking forward

to attending athletics events at the newtrack.“Athletics could do with the boost and

hopefully the track will give the sport moreexposure,” Andre Serfontein says. “Hope-fully the new track will encourage morevarsity meetings. I’ve always enjoyed it.They’re really fun.”However, some have been shocked by the

costs involved.“Youhave to lookat the cost to rationben-

efit,” Seton Bailey says. “I’m not sure howmany athletes we have in the area, and itdefeats the purpose if theyhave to commutein from areas such as Mitchell’s Plain orKhayelitsha. But I do think the track willallow for more training, and hopefully willbe accessed by multiple sporting codes.”Walker says the Green Point Athletics

Stadiumhas been built with the idea of pro-viding a hub for athletics activities in theWestern Cape.“The stadium will have IAAF-approved

facilities, suitable for competition on a na-tional and international level,” she adds.

The City of Cape Town invites residents of Walmer and University Estates to commenton a new proposal to address the flow of evening peak hour traffic through these areas.Substantial numbers of motorists choose to move through the areas instead of along theadjacent freeways and residents are burdened with traffic that is not destined for the area.

Residents were previously invited to comment on a proposal to prohibit entry intoChester Road from Keizersgracht and Searle Street between 16:00 and 18:00 on weekdays.The prohibition would have applied equally to residents and non-residents. The outcome ofoverwhelming opposition to the proposal was presented and discussed at a public meetingin Walmer Estate on 6 March 2013. While the meeting agreed that the original proposal beabandoned, an alternative was proposed from the floor.

Residents are now invited to comment on an alternative proposal to prohibit movementfrom Keizersgracht into Chester Road between 16:00 and 18:00 on weekdays while stillpermitting the left-turn from Searle Street into Chester Road. The effect of this proposal is toprohibit movement from Zonnebloem into Walmer Estate during this time period while stillpermitting reasonably convenient access to Walmer Estate from Nelson Mandela Boulevard.

Comments must be submitted to:Anele VitiPublic Participation UnitFax: 021 400 1465E-mail: [email protected]

Closing Date: 30 June 2013Office Hours: 08:00 – 16:00

Please note that, as a result of contention around the submission of petitions during the lastround of public participation, petitions will not be accepted in response to this invitation tocomment.

THE days of smokers puffing ona cigarette on a stoep or the side-walks outside restaurants or cof-fee shops may soon be num-bered.The new regulations on smok-

ing in public places and outdoorsare in the final stagebefore beingpromulgated.So says Joe Maila, spokesper-

son for healthministerDrAaronMotsoaledi.“Our legal team is reviewing

the regulations. I cannot confirmwhen it will be disclosed, but it is in the ab-solute final stage of the process,” he says.Theproposed regulationwas published in

theGovernment Gazette inMarch last year,after which it wasmade available for publiccomment.The proposal includes that no one may

smoke within 10m of a door or window ofa restaurant; schools or areas where chil-dren are cared for; stadiums, sport arenas,playgrounds or zoos; health facilities; out-door eateries or bars; areas which serve asoutdoor locations; underground parking orwalkways; and on a beach within 50m ofsomeone swimming in a demarcated area.Restaurant owners would be held liable

for anyone smoking where it is not allowed.They have to ensure there are no ashtraysavailable in sections of the restaurantwhere smoking is prohibited.Restaurants will be allowed to introduce

a smoking area on the premises.However, no food or entertainment can be

provided in this section and it may not be

close to a pavement or area with constantfoot traffic.No children under the age of 18 will be al-

lowed and smokers are to be discouragedfrom lingering in the demarcated smokingarea beyond the time it takes to smoke a cig-arette.Professor Michael Herbst, the head of

Cansa’s health division, said second-handsmoke is very harmful.“Very few people smoke without a filter.

At least this is something that protects youagainst arsenic, nicotine and carbon diox-ide. The smoke from the front end of the cig-arette contains all these harmful substanc-es. Without a filter non-smokers are ex-posed to it,” he says.“There is also third-hand smoke. These

are the toxins in smokewhich cling to furni-ture and floors. Babies and children crawlon the surface and are exposed to it.”V Share your views by SMSing the word “Post”, fol-lowed by the your comments to 32516. SMSes costR1.

DESPITE the modern office block thatforms a large part of the TouchstoneHouse development, walking in to thebuilding will be like “walking back intime”.History will meet modern architec-

ture in anewdevelopment on theFore-shore, when the former TouchstoneHouse warehouse is incorporated intoa 15-storey office block.Developers FWJK Quantity Survey-

ors are incorporating the façade of theTouchstone warehouse building inBree Street, which was built in 1895.The warehouse was gutted in a fire afew years ago.Heritage Western Cape, the provin-

cial heritage authority, decided that the re-mains cannot be demolished and the newdevelopment had to incorporate the old fab-ric, says Garreth Bloor, the Mayoral Com-mitteemember forEconomic, Environmen-tal and Spatial Planning.Demolition of the damaged sections of the

building has already started, after whichexcavation and preparation work will takeplace. Construction on the over 11000m²building is set to begin early next year, witha total cost of over R200m.Dave Williams-Jones, the spokesperson

for the developers, says many of the origi-nal cast iron structural columns have beenretained and will be incorporated into thenew design.Retaining the Touchstone House facade

creates a uniqueness in the development,setting it apart from its new neighbours be-ing developed in Bree Street, he continues.“It provides the opportunity to blend 120

years of architectural history in a single de-velopment.”Feedback on the project has been posi-

tive, Williams-Jones says.But some city residents are not taken

with the idea.

“It’s not worth keeping old buildings. Weshould rather build new ones, which cre-ates jobs,” Tendai Mazrire says.Construction worker Mzuvukile Kani

agrees, and is concerned about whether thebuilding will be structurally sound.“I’m worried that the building won’t be

safe after it was damaged in the fire. I thinkthey should just demolish it.”But the developers have not been de-

terred by these concerns, saying themajori-ty of responses have been positive.“We have received a significant amount

of positive comments which has been re-flected in the rapid take up of sales of officesuites over the last threemonths. The imag-es of the newredevelopment have beenverywell received,” Williams-Jones says.Once source of positive feedback is the

Central City Improvement District.“A view of Cape Town’s CBD skyline will

showmany cranes hard at work on variousnew developments. Business confidence ishigher than ever and Touchstone Houseand various other developments shows avote of confidence that the Cape Town CBDis a sought after premier business destina-tion,” chairperson Rob Kane says.

Rondebosch golfers to take on SA’s bestLIAM MOSES

YOUNG golfers from Rondebosch Boys’High School are targeting a top five fin-ish at the South African National High

Schools’ Golf Championships in Port Eliza-beth this weekend.The school’s golf side qualified for the

tournament after winning the WesternProvince Championships in Strand in May.Teacher and coach Rob Dalrymple be-

lieves the competitionwill be toughand sayshis troops need to be at their best.“We are not a school that focuses on golf.

There are some schools where they havesome very strong golfers,” says Dalrymple.“We are looking to be competitive at the

Nationals, but I don’t think we are going towin. We are hoping to be in the top five. Wehave had good players in the past, but wehave more depth now. In this sort of tourna-ment, where you need three scores to count,you can’t have just one good golfer. All fourof the players have to score well to make itwork.”Rondebosch have not qualified for the Na-

tional Championships for in the last fiveyears, but this year they beat out 12 of CapeTown’s top golfing schools to seal theirplace.Sporting rivals SACS, Bishops and Wyn-

berg Boys’ High School also competed at theWP Championships and lost out, while Red-

damHigh finished second to claim the otherqualification spot.Stef Fillipi (17), the team’s vice-captain,

says all four members of the side will bepractising hard to ensure they can cause anupset and surprise their coach.“Winning theWPChampionships showed

that the hard work we put into our owngames has paid off as a team,” he says.“To take on and beat the top schools in the

province is a big step for Rondebosch golf.We haven’t really performed that well in thepast, so winning a tournament like that liftsthe team spirit.“Winning is the biggest goal that we have

for the Nationals and I believe we can takeit if we perform to our best levels. If we takethat itwill increase our confidence and teamspirit.”Rondebosch currently has 18 pupils play-

ing in three teams in theA,BandCdivisionsof the WP Golf Union South League.Dalrymple says all three sides are

“thrilled” at winning the WP Champion-ships, as the victory was the result of hardwork. “Theguys thatmakeupour teamhavebeen a part of the team for the last two orthree years. It’s nice to see the improvementand to see the golfing getting better.”The National Schools’ Golf Champion-

ships will take place on Sunday 16 and Mon-day 17 June. The Rondebosch team leave forPE on Thursday 13 June.

Glendene conquers leagueLIAM MOSES

GLENDENE UNITED will launchstraight into preparations for theSAFA Second Division promotion

play-offs after winning the league on Fri-day night.

United beat Ida’s Valley 5-2 to top theSecond Division log after All Stars, whohad lead the standings, were docked ninepoints for fielding an unregistered playerin three games this season.

Although Stars may still appeal the de-cision before the seven-day window clos-es on tomorrow (Wednesday 12 June),Glendene coach Duran Francis says hisside do not have time for a break aheadof their trip to Johannesburg.

“The period before the play-offs start isso short, that we will start preparing forJohannesburg as soon as possible. Theboys need to get used to the conditions up

there,” he says.“It has been a very long season. It start-

ed almost a year ago, but this is a part ofthe business and we just have to try andprepare as best as possible and have a suc-cessful play-offs.”

No date has been set for the play-offs asyet, but it is believed it will take placeover the penultimate or last weekend thismonth.

Glendene will face off against theircounterparts from the eight other prov-inces in South Africa, in hopes of claim-ing one of the two National First Division(NFD) spots available.

While Francis knows the play-offs willbe a challenge for his young, inexperi-enced side, he has faith that Glendene’splayers understand the value of promo-tion and will fight hard to achieve it.

“The boys showed a lot of character. It’sall about the willpower and mentality. In

the past every Cape Town team that hasfinished on top in the league has alwaysdone well in the play-offs,” he says.

“It’s about mental strength before andduring the play-offs. There are differentconditions, different styles of play and dif-ferent teams and if the players adapt theyshould do well.

“It’s going to be very difficult becausethere is a lot to play for.”

Meanwhile, the other Second Divisionsides based in the south were not too faroff the pace this season.

Manenberg side Crystal Palace finishedin fourth, while ASD Salt River Blackpoolfinished in seventh and Lansdowne’s RCAthletico were eighth.

Steenberg United finished in ninthspot, while Mitchell’s Plain United were10th and Pinelands club Old Mutual were11th.
