Sometimes it\u2019s three buses behind each other. It becomes congested. It happens on the most awkward times, like on a Friday when it is prayer time. They have no consideration for our community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe tour groups take their time to get out of the road. People must drive around them. It happens throughout the day.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He says they are already dreading the holiday season when more visitors are expected. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are calling for a solution. These roads were not made to accommodate buses.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-nightmare\"><strong>\u2018Nightmare\u2019<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A former resident took to social media to voice her frustration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTrying to drive in Wale Street is a total nightmare. This big bus stops to pick up his passengers and just simply blocks the road. Why can\u2019t they have the passengers get out on the square next to the garage and walk up, why block the already narrow road?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Osman Shabodien, Bo-Kaap Civic and Ratepayers Association chair, says traffic woes in the area is not new and that they\u2019ve been calling for interventions for many years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He explains that as a community they drew up a traffic plan in 2017 that was handed over to the City of Cape Town. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\" data-embed24=\"Blockquote\" data-pos=\"middle\" id=\"embed_52dcdb90\">\n<div class=\"text\">\u201cIt has worsened. The City was supposed to implement plans but this never happened. We recently spoke to our ward councillor that reassured us that she tabled it again in subcouncil, so we hope something positive will come out of this.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Shabodien urged the City to come to the party and said it is a matter of urgency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt is not a tall order. All we need is action and the traffic department to get involved. We have asked that Riebeeck Square be used as a parking area for buses so that the tourists can walk up.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Francine Higham, Ward 77 councillor, shared with <span><em>People\u2019s Post<\/em><\/span> a motion of exigency which she submitted to the Subcouncil on Monday 14 October for an investigation to determine a traffic and parking management plan as well as improved pedestrian safety along Wale Street. \u201cI have already engaged with the South African Tourism Services Association (Satsa), who have indicated their support for any traffic management plan that the City should decide on in respect of the tour buses to ensure sustainable tourism that mitigates any negative impact on the community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-guide-responsibilities\">Guide responsibilities<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Higham, the matter was also raised with Cape Town Tourism. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019ve indicated that they will engage with Satsa, the Cape Tourist Guides Association and the relevant tour operators to ensure compliance with road safety regulations and remind all guides of their responsibilities in respect of \u201cThe Tourist Guide Code of Conduct and Ethics\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mayco member for urban mobility, Rob Quintas said: \u201cWe have investigated these proposals and agreed that the existing loading zone in front of the Bo-Kaap Museum be converted into a charter bus drop-and-go.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Quintas, using Riebeeck Square as a parking area is not viable due to the \u201ctight layout of existing parking bays and the large turning radius\u201d required for circulation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe space on the Buitengracht median was also considered, however currently this space is also being managed by the City for long-stay patrons, thus for those parking for a half day or full day.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-museum-parking\">Museum parking<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>He said there\u2019s been some discussion to have the managed on-street parking along Buitengracht Street, southbound between Longmarket and Church Street converted into three to four charter bus holding areas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But he says a drop-and-go would have to take place in front of the museum. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis idea was initially found to be in contravention of a contract management agreement between the City and the parking management contract and thus, was deemed not to be feasible.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Quintas says the proposed parking restriction must be subjected to the statutory public participation process before any implementation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kevin Jacobs, spokesperson for the City\u2019s traffic services, says the area forms an essential part of Cape Town\u2019s tourist experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Jacobs, the City has dedicated teams of traffic, metro police and law enforcement officers patrolling sites \u201cfrequented by tourists\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis deployment will once again support the tourist corridor during the festive season. Traffic officers patrol this area daily. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He urged residents with \u201cspecific concerns or complaints\u201d to log a call with the City\u2019s Public Emergency Communication Centre by calling 021 480 7700 from a cellphone or 107 from a landline.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Residents in Bo-Kaap are frustrated by daily traffic congestion caused by tour buses
