Spring is in the air and change is afoot. Time for us to take stock of Open Streets, breathe deep and exhale. Over the coming weeks we’ll be reaching out to our community of street explorers to see where we go next.

@UpCyclesZA @geordinhl We discussed this yesterday at the Urban Forum. The only way forward is to get it done and do it well. Incrementally has failed in so many spheres.
Decisive leadership is city-changing!

@CitiesWNature @cityofmelbourne @CityofCT @Seoul_gov @LACity @UpCyclesZA you continue to be the experience poster-child for Cape Town! 🧡🚲

PSA: the “quote tweet” icon saves one from tediously having to retype tweets you read elsewhere onto your own profile. It gives you a chance to even add your own opinion.

[Capestop @capestop]

Great news! Government Avenue will be reopening to walking and cycling access from September.
Many thanks to @geordinhl for making this possible after significant advocacy. Complete walking and cycling networks are the backbone of a thriving and livable city.
