The ‘Have Your Say’ initiative in Cape Town is a physical survey method implemented in 35 city facilities to capture residents’ firsthand experiences regarding the city’s service delivery. This traditional approach ensures inclusivity for residents who have restricted access to digital devices, and suggestions are methodically recorded and addressed for continuous enhancement of services and facilities. The initiative exemplifies the city’s commitment to ameliorating public services in tune with the needs and aspirations of its citizens. The ‘Have Your Say’ feedback boxes are conveniently located in a variety of venues to ensure accessibility for all residents.
The City of Cape Town is set to enhance urban mobility and intermodal connectivity by constructing a new integrated bus facility in Makhaza, Khayelitsha. The facility will be shared by the MyCiTi and Golden Arrow Bus Services and located adjacent to the Chris Hani rail station, with the new minibustaxi facility just a kilometre away. This initiative will streamline travel for commuters by providing seamless transfers between multiple modes of transportation.
The United Nations Global Road Safety Week has just concluded, and the City of Cape Town’s Urban Mobility Directorate is taking steps to improve road safety in the Khayelitsha Township. The project involves building walking and cycling lanes that are universally accessible, which will promote safety for all road users, especially pedestrians and cyclists.
