March brought solid progress on several fronts, with precinct operations focused on three core areas: spatial regulation, by-law enforcement, and infrastructure upkeep. The interventions reflect a hands-on approach to keeping Rosebank functional, safe, and well-presented for everyone who lives, works, and moves through it.
E-Hailing Motorbike Regulation
Key highlights include the introduction of a structured holding space for e-hailing motorbike operators – provided by The Zone @ Rosebank’s management – while a sustainable, long-term solution is being explored. Motorbikes previously clustered adjacent to the old Post Office building on Cradock Avenue have been relocated, easing congestion and improving pedestrian safety in the area. Parking adjacent to News Café is now capped at 10 motorbikes – a measure that makes a tangible difference to pedestrian flow along one of the precinct’s busiest corridors.
By-Law Enforcement
JMPD Region B teams maintained a strong and visible presence across the precinct throughout March. Targeted operations tackling illegal parking and by-law infringements were carried out across Tyrwhitt, Cradock, Sturdee, Jellicoe, and Keyes Avenues – reinforcing compliance and contributing to improved traffic flow along key routes.
Infrastructure Maintenance
City Power technicians were deployed to address faulty streetlights across the precinct. In addition, contractor teams carried out pavement reinstatements and repairs across affected areas, restoring pedestrian walkways and improving the overall condition of the public realm. Reliable infrastructure is non-negotiable in a high-footfall urban environment, and this work reflects an ongoing commitment to keeping Rosebank safe and functional.
JMPD Hotline
JMPD has introduced a dedicated reporting hotline for traffic light outages, by-law infringements, illegal dumping, and related traffic matters. Incidents can be logged via 080 872 3342, strengthening public responsiveness and supporting faster resolution on the ground.
The district’s safety and cleaning teams continued to play an active role in maintaining day-to-day order and cleanliness across the precinct – a commitment to keeping Rosebank safe, functional, and well-presented for all who live, work, and visit here. We remain dedicated to upholding the safety, accessibility, and operational efficiency that define Rosebank as one of Gauteng’s most well-managed urban nodes.
