Open Streets Mitchells Plain 2018

The next car-free day along Eisleben Road will be an even longer route; help make it a success!
Open Streets Mitchells Plain
Start Date
Sunday, March 25, 2018 - 12:00
End Date
Sunday, March 25, 2018 - 17:00
Venue
Eisleben Road, Mitchells Plain (between Lavender and Montagu Drive)

For the third time, Open Streets Mitchells Plain will create a temporary road closure, bringing people together to reimagine streets as shared public space. After last year's successful test on Eisleben Road, a longer route between Lavender and Montagu Drive will allow for even more walking, playing games and sport, riding bikes, dancing, running, socialising and exploring. We invite as many people as possible to get involved and help make the occasion a success.

GETTING TO OPEN STREETS

PARKING

There will be secure parking at:

  • Rocklands High School on the corner of Eisleben Road and Cedars Avenue. Entrance on Cedars Avenue 
  • Duneside Primary School on Angus Way (off De Duin Ave)

Both schools will charge R10 per car for the day as fundraising initiatives.

WHAT IS OPEN STREETS?
Open Streets Main Road builds on a local programme inspired by Colombia’s Ciclovía. The concept is to close down a street temporarily so that it becomes car-free. It’s a chance for people to reimagine streets as public space, for walking, cycling, skating, playing, exploring and general socialising. Open Streets suspends reality and allows us to imagine a new “normal” for our streets. Watch a short video here: https://youtu.be/-IL2iv4Kkws

WHO ORGANISES IT?
Open Streets Cape Town, a citizen-driven NPO, in partnership with the City of Cape Town’s Transport and Urban Development Authority, with the financial support of the WWF Nedbank Green Trust, Millennium Trust and Woolworths, as well as the help of many volunteers, residents and friends!

WHY?
To create shared spaces that can help bridge social and spatial divides in Cape Town, and encourage people to think differently about how we move around the city
