Construction began this week, Monday 16 January, on the new, permanent Table View feeder station in Blaauwberg Road for the MyCiTi bus service.

The construction of this station is part of the phased rollout of feeder stations along Blaauwberg Road. It also symbolizes the continued rollout of the project along the West Coast, to eventually link areas up to Atlantis with the CBD.

The Table View feeder station is being built to accommodate the nine-metre buses that will soon be introduced to replace the 12m buses currently running the MyCiTi feeder services in Table View, Parklands and Blaauwberg.

It signals a milestone in extending the MyCiTi service: the feeder stations on Blaauwberg Road will cater for the expansion of the service eastwards. Future buses to Atlantis and Mamre will dock at the station that was previously used for feeder services in Table View, Parklands and Blaauwberg.

There will be minimal traffic disruption, as no general traffic lanes will be closed during the construction of station. However, one of two red MyCiTi bus lanes will be closed during the construction. This lane will be used as a ramp for pedestrians needing to access the trunk station from the Pentz/Blaauwberg Road intersection. This is necessary as the ramp on the station will be closed during the construction.

Directional signage will be erected to assist road users and pedestrians. The safety of pedestrians is paramount. This will be ensured through the erection of a concrete barrier between the new walkway and the bus lane still in operation, and a fence between the walkway and the construction area.

The construction of the feeder station is expected to take between four and six months. The City apologises to commuters for any inconvenience or delays the construction may cause.
