This may require the demolition of existing buildings and homes, some of which have stood for over 60 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Wednesday 20 October 2021, the Impact Assessment Committee (IACOM) of Heritage Western Cape (HWC) stated that it had resolved to endorse the W6 proposal\u2019s heritage indicators and conceptual layout in principle, but required further design development in detail,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.news24.com\/news24\/community-newspaper\/peoples-post\/w6-approved-in-principle-20211108\"> following an urban design and place-making approach<\/a>.<\/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>In July last year, Rob Quintas, the City\u2019s Mayco Member for urban mobility, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news24.com\/news24\/community-newspaper\/peoples-post\/public-input-planned-20220704\">said the report was still being finalised<\/a>&nbsp;and would only be submitted to HWC once completed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span><em>People\u2019s Post<\/em><\/span> checked in with Quintas last week as to the report\u2019s progress. By the time of going to press, feedback had not yet been received.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If given the final go-ahead, the couplet will see the Main Road (M4) reconfigured into a two-lane carriageway in a southerly direction between Riverstone (M152)\/Wetton Road (M9) and Kemms Road, towards Plumstead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brodie Road will be reconfigured into a two-lane carriageway in a northerly direction between Kemms Road and Riverstone (M152)\/Wetton Road (M9), towards Kenilworth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the City, the couplet will include six new signalised intersections to regulate and improve traffic flow and road safety with six proposed kerbside MyCiTi stops \u2013 two along the new Brodie Road carriageway and four along the Main Road carriageway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If all of this comes to pass, a number of side roads intersecting with Main Road and the newly aligned Brodie Road will be impacted. These include Church Street, Dinsley Road, Millbank Road, Brodie Road, Maynard Road, Ebor Road, York Road, Piers Road, Egglestone Road, Benjamin Road, Wellington Road, Langley Road, Wilson Road, Malton Road and Stilton Road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Full closures are being proposed for Kemms Road (no access to Main Road), Glaren Road (to be reconfigured into the new Brodie Road carriageway), and Tenby Road (to be reconfigured into the new Brodie Road carriageway).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Public information days will be held on Tuesday 18 April at the Wittebome Civic Centre, and on Thursday 20 April at the Alphen Centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The comment period which began yesterday (20 March) ends on Friday 5 May.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>To comment, visit the City\u2019s
