Of these, six will be fully impacted and five partially impacted. Of the six residential properties impacted, two will be fully impacted and four partially impacted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Quintas says that in some cases only a sliver of an erf\/land parcel may be needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe City will engage the impacted property owners on an individual basis, as needed, to discuss the acquisitions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for City property that may need to be demolished for the couplet, Quintas says a separate process will be followed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhich includes obtaining approval from the City\u2019s Council to demolish the impacted buildings as no City-owned building may be demolished or disposed of without Council\u2019s prior approval,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the open day held in Wynberg last week, project manager Paul Faria of HHO Consulting Engineer told <span><em>People\u2019s Post<\/em><\/span> that Main Road, \u201cexcept for widening here and there\u201d (and the three MyCiTi stops) would largely remain as is with no impact on existing storefronts. Both the double carriageways will be for general traffic. In other words, there won\u2019t be dedicated bus lanes in either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Quintas adds there will be new cycle\/walking lanes along Main Road. These will not impact the existing buildings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are still finalising the detail design of the couplet, meaning, the outcome of the public participation process and the conclusion of the Heritage Impact Assessment and heritage authorisations will influence the final detail design,\u201d he says<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Michael Janse van Rensburg, Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Heritage Western Cape, last week told <span>People\u2019s Post<\/span> that the City had not submitted further design development for HWC to evaluate since the matter was last heard in October 2021. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the committee did not stipulate a time-frame within which the City had to submit the amended report, the City may only proceed with the development once final approval has been granted by HWC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the project does get the final sign off, the two double carriageways will leave a section of properties sandwiched in the middle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Faria told <span><em>People\u2019s Post<\/em><\/span> that a team of urban architects was informing the City on how to link up this area with west and east and to make it as pedestrian friendly as possible, \u201cwith a focus on preserving heritage\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Quintas says the current detail designs are in the process of being amended based on the urban design and place-making approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOnly once this has been completed, can the revised Heritage Impact Assessment report be amended and submitted to HWC. All of the aspects mentioned above, will form part of this report.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eavesdropping on residents\u2019 comments during Tuesday\u2019s meeting, it was clear that conserving the area\u2019s heritage was a concern for many, as was the possible fallout of disruptive road construction on businesses located on Main Road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>ALSO READ |&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.news24.com\/news24\/community-newspaper\/peoples-post\/a-road-runs-through-it-20210802\">A road runs through it<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While no exact date for the start of construction was given, \u201ca hopefully within three years\u201d answer was given to a person who asked about the time frame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Quintas says they are still some way off from construction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe detail design will be completed after the comments from the current ongoing public participation process have been considered. Once finalised, the City will commence with the procurement process to appoint a contractor, and it is in preparation of this procurement process that the construction sequencing will be finalised.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He adds, that as with all City related construction projects, \u201cand in particular in central business districts\u201d, the contractor is obliged to provide a traffic accommodation plan for approval to the City. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis plan must indicate how the contractor intends to manage traffic \u2013 vehicular and pedestrian \u2013 during the construction period to minimise the impact on residents, visitors and businesses as far as possible; to minimise the impact on public transport services; and also, not to compromise on road safety.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Residents can comment on the proposed directional changes and full road closures until Friday 5 May. However, Quintas says, the City will not be hosting a separate information day to discuss properties to be demolished or acquired to make way for the couplet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe concept design has been approved by the City\u2019s Council in March 2019 already,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Engagements with private owners of properties that will be
