Die opeenhoping van verkeer in Stellenbosch is jare lank reeds \u2019n kopseer, maar volgens Roland Postma is daar \u2019n slim manier om die probleem die hoof te bied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Postma, van die Young Urbanist Suid-Afrika, was Woensdag 8 Mei die gasspreker van die Stellenbosch-belangegroep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die Young Urbanist, saam met Stellenbosch-fietsry en ander belangegroepe, het onlangs hul teenkanting teen die plaaslike munisipaliteit se planne vir \u2019n vierverdieping-parkeerkompleks vir die middedorp uitgespreek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Postma en ander teenstanders van die projek meen daar is beter maniere om die gebrek aan parkeerplek en die slakkepas-verkeer hok te slaan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSuid-Afrika het van die beste wetgewing en regulasies, maar daar is \u2019n gebrek aan implementering,\u201d verduidelik Postma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy meen dit is belangrik om die uiteindelike visie vir dorp, stad of land in gedagte te hou wanneer ontwikkel word, maar s\u00ea die visie moet ook oop wees vir verandering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2019n Voorstel van Postma is om gedeeltes van paaie toe te maak om meer ruimte vir voetgangers te skep. \u2019n Verbreding van sypaadjies het in verskeie lande weens die Covid-19-pandemie gebeur. Met minder motors op straat is meer ruimte vir voetgangers geskep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Postma s\u00ea sypaadjies is veral \u2019n probleem in die sakekern, met talle eetplekke wat sypaadjies as bykomende sitplek gebruik. Dit maak dit nie net moeilik vir voetgangers nie, maar ook vir enigeen wat in \u2019n rolstoel is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMotors het nie koopkrag nie, dus is dit goed vir ondernemings om meer voete in die sakekern te h\u00ea.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aanpassings aan verkeerskruisings is ook een van Postma se voorstelle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy stel voor dat trems teruggebring word om vervoer in \u2019n stad of dorp te vergemaklik, terwyl voertuie en motors op sentrale punte buite die sakekern gelaat word. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Australi\u00eb, waar Postma grootgeword het, is trems terug in die stede danksy vennootskappe tussen die staat en private ondernemings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Postma meen \u2019n netwerk trems kan uiteindelik Stellenbosch aan buurdorpe soos Somerset-Wes en Paarl verbind, wat die behoefte aan motors sal verminder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Saam met al hierdie voorstelle meen Postma dit is belangrik om \u2019n aktiewe burgerskap te h\u00ea wat bereid is om betrokke te raak met die staat, sakelui en ontwikkelaars ten bate van hul dorp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cVerandering is moontlik en dit begin wanneer daar samewerking is,\u201d meen Postma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Benewens Postma se praatjie het die Stellenbosch-belangegroep ook hul onlangse werk met lede gedeel. Die groep het die afgelope jaar baie kommentaar en talle insae oor plaaslike ontwikkeling gelewer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dit sluit in voorstelle om plaaslike geboue sowel as die dorp se erfenis te bewaar. Die groep se werk is egter \u2019n groot uitgawe en die voortbestaan van die belangegroep sal beteken \u2019n aanvullende bron van inkomste is nodig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die opeenhoping van verkeer in Stellenbosch is jare lank reeds \u2019n kopseer, maar volgens Roland Postma is daar \u2019n slim manier om die probleem die hoof te bied.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":20,"featured_media":45281,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_yoast_wpseo_linkdex":"","_yoast_wpseo_content_score":"","_yoast_wpseo_inclusive_language_score":"","_yoast_wpseo_is_cornerstone":"","_yoast_wpseo_canonical":"","_yoast_wpseo_opengraph-title":"","_yoast_wpseo_opengraph-description":"","_yoast_wpseo_opengraph-image":"","_yoast_wpseo_opengraph-image-id":"","_yoast_wpseo_twitter-title":"","_yoast_wpseo_twitter-description":"","_yoast_wpseo_twitter-image":"","_yoast_wpseo_twitter-image-id":"","newspack_ads_suppress_ads":false,"newspack_sponsor_sponsorship_scope":"","newspack_sponsor_native_byline_display":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_native_category_display":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_underwriter_style":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_underwriter_placement":"inherit","_crsspst_to_novanewscoza":false,"_crsspst_to_novanewscozabloemnewsexpress":false,"_crsspst_to_novanewscozacityvision":false,"_crsspst_to_novanewscozadistrictmailhelderberg":false,"_crsspst_to_novanewscozahermanustimes":false,"_crsspst_to_novanewscozakomani-karoo":false,"_crsspst_to_novanewscozakougaexpress":false,"_crsspst_to_novanewscozamthathaexpress":false,"_crsspst_to_novanewscozanoordkaapbulletin":false,"_crsspst_to_novanewscozapaarlpost":false,"_crsspst_to_novanewscozapeexpress":false,"_crsspst_to_novanewscozapeoplespost":false,"_crsspst_to_novanewscozaswartlandgazette":false,"_crsspst_to_novanewscozatygerburger":false,"_crsspst_to_novanewscozaudexpress":false,"_crsspst_to_novanewscozavistanews":false,"_crsspst_to_novanewscozavrystaatkroon":false,"_crsspst_to_novanewscozaweskusnuus":false,"_crsspst_to_novanewscozaweslander":false,"_crsspst_to_novanewscozaworcesterstandard":false,"_EventAllDay":"","_EventTimezone":"","_EventStartDate":"","_EventEndDate":"","_EventStartDateUTC":"","_EventEndDateUTC":"","_EventShowMap":"","_EventShowMapLink":"","_EventURL":"","_EventCost":"","_EventCostDescription":"","_EventCurrencySymbol":"","_EventCurrencyCode":"","_EventCurrencyPosition":"","_EventDateTimeSeparator":"","_EventTimeRangeSeparator":"","_EventOrganizerID":"","_EventVenueID":"","_OrganizerEmail":"","_OrganizerPhone":"","_OrganizerWebsite":"","_VenueAddress":"","_VenueCity":"","_VenueCountry":"","_VenueProvince":"","_VenueState":"","_VenueZip":"","_VenuePhone":"","_VenueURL":"","_VenueStateProvince":"","_VenueLat":"","_VenueLng":"","_VenueShowMap":"","_VenueShowMapLink":"","_application":"","_batch_id":"","_company_name":"","_company_tagline":"","_company_twitter":"","_company_video":"","_company_website":"","_custom_id":"0893ba87-fbec-4cff-80e2-ab168b6ad4a3","_EventDuration":"","_EventOrigin":"","_EventTimezoneAbbr":"","_featured":"","_filled":"","_job_expires":"","_job_location":"","_media_credit":"","_media_credit_url":"","_menu_item_menu_item_parent":"","_menu_item_object":"","_menu_item_object_id":"","_menu_item_target":"","_menu_item_type":"","_menu_item_url":"","_menu_item_xfn":"","_navis_media_can_distribute":"","_navis_media_credit_org":"","_OrganizerOrigin":"","_provider":"","_pum_built_in":"","_pum_default_theme":"","_pum_form_conversion_count":"","_remote_id":"","_remote_name":"","_remote_position":"","_report_frequency":"","_report_reference_dates":"","_send_attempts":"","_site_id":"","_sitemap_exclude":"","_sitemap_frequency":"","_sitemap_priority":"","_source_url":"","_subscription_period":"","_subscription_period_interval":"","_subscription_price":"","_tec_slr_enabled":"","_tec_slr_layout":"","_template_type":"","_ticket_end_date":"","_ticket_start_date":"","_tribe_aggregator_allow_multiple_organizers":"","_tribe_aggregator_content_type":"","_tribe_aggregator_file":"","_tribe_aggregator_finalized":"","_tribe_aggregator_hash":"","_tribe_aggregator_import_id":"","_tribe_aggregator_import_name":"","_tribe_aggregator_interactive":"","_tribe_aggregator_origin":"","_tribe_aggregator_post_status":"","_tribe_aggregator_preview":"","_tribe_aggregator_source_name":"","_tribe_aggregator_type":"","_tribe_default_ticket_provider":"","_tribe_hide_attendees_list":"","_tribe_rsvp_for_event":"","_tribe_ticket_capacity":"","_tribe_ticket_header":"","_tribe_ticket_show_description":"","_tribe_ticket_show_not_going":"","_tribe_ticket_version":"","_type":"","_VenueOrigin":"","_wp_attachment_context":"","_wp_attachment_image_alt":"","_wp_font_face_file":"","_wp_old_date":"","_yoast_wpseo_estimated-reading-time-minutes":"","_yoast_wpseo_focuskeywords":"","_yoast_wpseo_focuskw_text_input":"","_yoast_wpseo_keywordsynonyms":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_block-catalog":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_job_listing_type":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_nova_retailer":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_publication":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_tribe_events_cat":"","_yoast_wpseo_videositemap-duration":"","_yoast_wpseo_videositemap-rating":"","_menu_item_classes":[],"_tribe_modified_fields":[],"_wp_attachment_backup_sizes":[],"_wp_suggested_privac
