I am not sure why Johans post was rejected, I guess that we already have two posts in this forum on this subject and it is been dealt with by the authorities who will hopefully apply their minds. Johans post does highlight the issue with a aerial diagram.
The issue for me here is not about protection of the wetlands, although a serious issue in itself, its about traffic and dumping without the City's consent. Anything which affects the river and the ability to deal with storm water affects observatory peak hour rush and flooding in our streets. If the embankments of the canal are raised by the infilling which is what it looks like has happened, and the soil/rubble is free to wash into the canal, Liesbeeck parkway/Station rd intersection could flood, congestion will be exacerbated and all of us will have problems getting in and out of our suburb. If someone is allowed to dump rubble in a wetland it becomes our problem in the end. -- OPS [Obsid Public Safety] - 24/7 control room ---------------------------------------------- 021-447-1066 072-063-1653 For all emergencies please dial 10111 ---------------------------------------------- ONW: 082 081 0142, ONW email: [email protected] WEB: www.obswatch.org.za ---------------------------------------------- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups The Observatory Neighbourhood watch group.
