CR Swart Drive in the northern Johannesburg suburb of Randpark Ridge is one of many roads a motorist who started a petition believes needs to be upgraded rather than the potholes fixed.
Meyer said that while the Johannesburg Roads Agency does intermittently fill the potholes, when it rains they form again.He submitted the petition, which garnered 2,113 signatures, to the local ward councillor, but was advised to submit it when the integrated development plan meeting is held in the area.“The road needs to be widened to two lanes, needs proper drainage and sidewalks. At a minimum, at least resurface the whole of the existing road,” he said.
Rory Keenan, an estate agent used to dress in dinosaur mascot and fish on potholes to highlight the state of roads in Randburg complain authorities just temporary patch the potholes.“The roads are in terrible condition. Continuous temporary patchwork only makes for uneven bumpy surfaces. It only takes one rainfall and the patchwork starts coming apart again.JRA spokesperson Bertha Peters-Scheepers said the entity will inspect CR Swart road this month to determine a response plan.
