Concept Sketch for Tshwane - Kenneth Walton of NCPC
- Transportation Concept Area
Prioritize and facilitate people-movement within the District. This
concept could be realized through 2 basic elements:
1. Limit the volume of "private" vehicles and/or taxis within the
District - If feasible, limit the volume
of private automobiles and/or taxis (if necessary) entering into the
District by some sort of
congestion-pricing mechanism (i.e. London) to maintain a more relaxed,
"ease of circulation"
condition within the District. This will prevent traffic congestion,
help encourage people to utilize
the inner-District transit systems/walk/bicycle/Segway, and create a
more pleasant and safer
environment for people. If politically/financially feasible and legal,
the revenue generated by the
user-fee could be utilized to fund maintenance of inner-District
infrastructure and/or operation of
the transit system(s). NOTE: The parking demand and other impacts
(especially outside of the
District) of such a program should be assessed prior to implementation.
2. Implement a network of various transit, pedestrian, bicycle, and
Segway systems within the
District - The intra-District network would prioritize the movement of
people over private vehicles,
and link specific destinations in support of the Plan (see supporting
graphics). Such a network
would also facilitate social interaction between people and create a
more intimate, "special"
ambiance to the area. NOTE: Specific locations for potential Segway
rentals, bicycle rentals, and
bicycle racks are not identified in this concept and should be studied
prior to implementation.
