I thought Helen Zille had betrayed us.<br /><br />Then I had a look at the proposed site for the toll. Although I was expecting to, I don't have a problem with the site itself for a two floor building. It is a long-standing gash/former quarry in the mountain. Hardly fynbos. Planted with huge eucalyptus. And I don't have an issue with paying a toll, either, though I feel local residents of Noordhoek/Hout Bay residents should get a discount. <br /><br />What is problematic is whether the expensive improvements to the road were effective or not. If they were not, the story changes. That IS the real story.<br /><br />And yes, the precedent of giving part of the Park - no matter how disturbed it may be - to developement, is troubling. <br /><br />I am open to persuasion. <br /><br />Has the hunger striker given up? She is off her head.Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13632520557553405790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603107829473043654.post-61984774103615270722012-02-26T13:34:13.342-05:002012-02-26T13:34:13.342-05:00Sounds familiar - Chapman's Peak Hout Bay, Cap...Sounds familiar - Chapman's Peak Hout Bay, Cape town - Toll Road plaza to be built on Table Mountain National Park land - a war ongoing as we speak!

Hope you and others can shine some light on this and have a positive affect.webbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15168174623602308906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603107829473043654.post-9467205390391349182012-02-24T15:23:59.710-05:002012-02-24T15:23:59.710-05:00Now that I see the map, I feel pretty sure that ri...Now that I see the map, I feel pretty sure that rig on the water near the bridge was connected to this. No wonder no markings or signs. I've seen its 4 post towering above the inlet on the west side of flatbush the other day. I do not know what it does.<br /><br />I see the route terminates not far from our place at home. I'm sorry to say I have been too busy with this and that to dig into this much and I am appreciative of your work and Karen's on this pipeline.Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02554893883207752597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603107829473043654.post-40513573345233183512012-02-24T15:10:48.923-05:002012-02-24T15:10:48.923-05:00Right on Marie.

I see no reason why similar outreach for public opinion and comment shouldn't be utilized before going any further with this project. So many people have a connection to this area (birders, fishermen, beachgoers, etc). The entire area is after all ours in the form of a National Park. http://www.nps.gov/gate/parkmgmt/gmp.htmSweetgum Thursdayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07940208313204210876noreply@blogger.com
