Take a walk on the South-side.
The City of Cape Town's Coastal Management Branch recently installed new steel railings along the coastal walkway between Muizenberg and St James in the South.
We request residents to take a walk, and to also help us protect the new railings from theft and
vandalism.
The coastal walkway between Muizenberg and St James is one of the most popular and scenic walkways in Cape Town.
No matter the season, locals and tourists stroll along this path, which adds to the coastal towns' sense of place.
Due to a combination of wave action, rust and vandalism over the last few years, the safety railings along the length of the walkway were lost.
This is a very narrow and elevated walkway, portions of which experience wave overtopping during swell events and at high tides.
Given the location of the walkway, and it being this narrow and elevated, railings are a requirement in the interest of public safety.
Thus, the City needs to ensure that railings are in place.
We are well aware
that stainless steel railings may be targeted, but this is the only durable material so close to the sea.
I, therefore, want to appeal to local residents, and the general public, to please help us by reporting vandalism and theft, or any suspicious activities.
The railings are to the benefit of all of us,' said the City's Ald Eddie Andrews, Deputy Mayor & MMC: Spatial Planning and Environment Read more: https://bit.ly/3y3034a #CTNews
