Excited to head back to the Netherlands in June for the Independent School for the City and catching up with urbanists and friends.

incredibly good news!!

In 2007, Zoran Janković, the mayor of Ljubljana, was slapped and mobbed by protesters for proposing to make downtown car-free. It’s been so wildly successful that a recent survey of city residents showed that 97% of residents supported keeping the streets car-free.

It work be great if MyCiTi route 116 be reintroduced (even temporary) to shuttle people between the terminal and Civic and from there people can catch buses to their destinations to reduce the congestion! Even use 12m/18m buses! Geordin Hill-Lewis City of Cape Town
