Infrastructure & Mixed Use

for development in various other

sectors.”

SANRAL Project Manager, Renaldo

Lorio, said: “Themajor benefit of this

project will be to address the con-

gestion in the Brackenfell and Kuils

River areas where most of the traffic

congestion occurs on Bottelary Road

via La Belle and Old Oak Roads to the

N1. Another benefit would be the

development of an industrial area,

resulting in the creation of perma-

nent jobs and a boost to economic

growth in the area.”

The City’s Executive Mayor, Patri-

cia de Lille stated: “We are especially

grateful for the contribution fromour

partners. While we have a responsi-

bility to respond to the needs and

growth in the city, merely building

roads will not solve the problem as

this only means more cars on the

road. The key to the City’s congestion

plan is behavioural change. Following

a business-as-usual approach will

only mean more traffic, continued

frustration, and added pressure on

our infrastructure.”

De Lille added, “Tackling conges-

tion will only be effective if all stake-

holders work together to do things

differently by changing our behaviour

and the way we work and use our

roads. We remain committed to ad-

dressing congestionandwill continue

to announce developments in our

Congestion Relief Programme.”
