The City of Cape Town encourages residents who are interested to comment on a proposal to turn the Sea Point Promenade into a pedestrian-only zone.
According to City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Urban Mobility, Rob Quintas, the proposal is informed by a five-month-long investigation into how the promenade is being used, and by whom, as well as a site visit on 6 September 2021 by the City officials and other key role players.
Quintas said, what the City is recommending is some changes to ensure the safety and enjoyment of all of those who visit this iconic stretch along the Atlantic Seaboard. “Of concern is that some of the elderly visitors ended up in hospital after crashes because people on bicycles and e-bikes go much faster than those on feet. Some of these devices are also heavy and can cause serious injuries.
No e-bikes, e-scooters, or motorised devices should be allowed on the promenade, or on the sidewalk on the seaside of Beach Road.
