GoRosebank
The Rosebank Districts are committed to promoting walkability and active mobility in the precinct. Much effort has been, and continues to be, concentrated on ensuring improved mobility and accessibility for the Rosebank community and visitors. GoRosebank is the programme under which the Districts identify and implement projects which enhance the mobility and accessibility into, through and connecting the node. The objectives include:
- Raising awareness of existing cycle-friendly infrastructure, shops and organisations in Rosebank.
- Promoting sustainable and active mobility both within Rosebank but also to connect it to other neighbourhood hubs nearby (CBD, Illovo, Sandton, adjacent neighbourhoods).
- Engaging property owners around supportive infrastructure and facilities to enable a more walkable and bike friendly neighbourhood.
- Promoting existing non-motorised transport and public transport activities which are currently in place to support further growth therein
- Using tactical urbanism to make small but tangible and immediate positive changes to improve non-motorised transport facilities as well as test infrastructure and design interventions that could be applied across the node
- Where necessary and where budget allows, identifying and executing repairs and maintenance on roads and pavements to ensure a safe and accessible public environment.
- Supporting and facilitating the adoption of traffic signals and other supportive urban infrastructure which ensures ease and safe movement through the node.
- Engaging with relevant role players to discuss needs and ideas for improvement, and using data gained through street experimentation and user experiences to guide future interventions, planning and the vision for the node.
