As residents of Onder-Papegaaiberg we are concerned about the danger that some streets, particularly Jan Frederik, hold for pedestrians and cyclists. The playground at the bottom of Jan Frederik is a welcome gathering place and we wish to ensure that it is safe for all who use it.

It is regrettable that some motorists show little regard for the dangerous speeds at which they drive in our streets.

We request Stellenbosch Municipality to:

1. erect at least one speed bump in Jan Frederik Street between Kleinvallei and Kiewiet Streets;

2. designate streets around playgrounds as 'Woonerf' shared public space, ie which gives non-motorised transport absolute right of way and requires motorised vehicles to drive at not more than 35 km/h.

-----

As inwoners van Onder-Papegaaiberg is ons besorg oor die gevaar wat Jan Frederikstraat stel aan voetgangers en fietsryers. Die speelpark aan die onderkant van die straat is 'n welkome bymekaarkom-plek en ons wil verseker dit is veilig vir almal wat dit gebruik.

Dit is jammer dat sommige motoriste min ag slaan op die feit dat hulle teen 'n gevaarlike snelheid ry in Jan Frederikstraat.

Ons versoek dat Stellenbosch Munisipaliteit:

1. minstens een spoedwal aanbring in Jan Frederikstraat ongeveer tussen die kruisings met Kleinvalleistraat en Kiewietstraat;

2. strate rondom speelparke verklaar as 'Woonerf' openbare ruimte, m.a.w. wat aan nie-gemotoriseerde-vervoer absolute voorrang bied en van motoriste vereis om teen nie meer nie as 35 km/h te ry.

The momentum behind this request for safer streets in our neighborhood confirms that this is a shared priority for many of us. I appreciate the dedication shown by those who have stepped forward to advocate for the safety of our pedestrians and cyclists.

SPEED BUMPS NOW! Way too many cars going way too fast. Keep our streets safe for the kids.

The traffic here is getting out of control. We need the municipality to step in before the next accident.

People fly down this road like it is a race track. My kids play near that park and it is only a matter of time before something terrible happens.
