The contractor has commenced with the construction of the sidewalks along 5th Avenue, at the corner of Buck Road, in Grassy Park.

The City of Cape Town can confirm that the widening of sections along 5th Avenue is now within the necessary specifications and work is continuing in accordance with the revised program.

The work is expected to take 15 months to complete.

‘I am glad that the issue has been resolved and that the project is going ahead again. It is important that we ensure the service that we deliver is of an acceptable standard and not rushed. I thank the residents for being patient with us during the construction period. Our main objective is to improve the maintenance of residential sidewalks while also making a long-term investment that benefits residents and pedestrians,’ said the City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Urban Mobility, Councillor Rob Quintas.
