Only once this has been completed, can the revised Heritage Impact Assessment report be amended and submitted to HWC,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a media statement released in June, the City stated that the Urban Mobility Directorate would be prioritising the construction of new roads, general road maintenance and new infrastructure for public transport services over the next three financial years. According to the statement, nearly R6,4 billion would be spent on capital projects over the next three financial years, with about R1,4 billion budgeted for 2022\/23.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Quintas said, given that W6 was still in the design development stage, it was unlikely that the City would commence with new infrastructure along W6 in the new financial year starting 1 July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe budget allocated for the new financial year is mainly for the construction of infrastructure along other parts of the routes that form part of Phase 2A,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He added that the money allocated to W6 for the new financial year was mainly intended for the completion of design work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe budget will be spent on the completion of design development for the W6 work package and the design of the Wynberg Public Transport Interchange improvement project.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Claremont bus facility concept design will be completed post the public engagement process that will be followed in September\/October 2022,\u201d said Quintas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The combined new roadways in W6 will approximately stretch over 2,95 Km.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In an interview with Karen Gird, chair of Wynberg Residents and Ratepayers Association (WRRA), last year, she described the proposed north-bound route as effectively a second Main Road built parallel to the existing one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCreating a second Main Road parallel to the existing one, making both roads one-way, will result in the destruction of established neighbourhoods and dividing of communities along apartheid-era racial lines, as houses are demolished and families lose their homes,\u201d she said at the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Asked if some of the demolitions might go ahead as early as this year, Quintas said that at this point in time they did not foresee the demolition of property in the 2022\/23 financial year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHowever, it cannot be ruled out as projects of this magnitude are influenced by many variables,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Engagement with all of the communities along the Phase 2A footprint on the MyCiTi W6 road infrastructure project is set to take place during
