I am a director of the Upper Kenilworth Improvement District, I also represent my community on the Ward 59 Ward Forum.  I am horrified that the city of Cape Town Town Planning and roads departments have approved both of these developments, not insisting on the developers creating pavements for pedestrians, cyclists and the disabled.  Both developments have been completed in the last 24 months.  These two corners are busy, both on a primary school approach road, Pine Road also has a preschool.  The only way to navigate these roads as a pedestrian is to walk in the narrow road, there is no space for pedestrians and two cars passing each.  It is beyond shocking, people will be killed.  We will sure the city of Cape Town, for reckless approvals.  In both my objections to these developments, I made reference to the lack of pavement, this was ignored by the city.  Densification cannot continue, where pavements are sacrificed and there is no soil left for groundwater absorbption, which results in flooding, which again makes it impossible for pedestrians and cyclists.  people will die and our neighbourhood is being deeply compromised, by no pavements, coupled with parking departures.  it is untenable.
