My comment is like everyone elses I am sure, I have grown up swimming, walking, running, playing, talking,laughing on the seapoint promenade my entire life with the amazing views of the ocean, beach, sunrises and sunsets, and for what is this to be taken away? Money does not make the world go round it destroys it.

The Seapoint promenade is a public open space where citizens are able to enjoy the beautiful views and activities such as running, walking, cycling, roller-blading. I think its unacceptable to take this away from the general public, who have enjoyed the place for many years now.

To develope Sea Point's PUBLIC Open Space, along the Promenade, would totally change the whole ambience of the area, and in my opinion be completely detrimental to the Suburb.

Cape Town is my home and even more so I once lived in Seapoint.I walked along that promanade everyday to go to work and on weekend when going to the beach. It is a beautiful area and a wonderful memory in my life and thats the way it should stay so that so many more people can make memories with their friends and love one. Don't destroy our beautiful land. It's especially what makes cape town...Cape Town.

I live in a block on the Sea Point beachfront and enjoy daily walks along the Promenade, as do so may others.
A development near the Pavilion would be an eyesore on our beautiful strip of coast, and besides, the impact of traffic and people would be a negative force on the area

I work in Cape Town and regulary use the Sea Point promenade area after work to exercise. The area is cosmopolitan and open to locals and visitors. Loss of access to this space isa travesty and will impede poorer peoples' use of our natural heritage. NO DEVELOPMENTS ON SEA POINT PROMENADE/PAVILLION!!!!!!

From childhood we spent time as a family over weekends there, and my wife now walks regulary after work on the promenade. Its one of the memorable public sites that as a capetonian I feel needs to be kept.

I am in the tourist industry, which i believe has huge potential for the economic development of our country. Poeple come here mostly because of the Capes scenic beauty and we have to protect that.

Fond memories of walking with my todler along the promenade, then with my little girl and our dogs, now with my young lady having to hold back when men give her admiring looks, all ending in an ice cream. You cannot take free space away from us.

Please keep this space open for the public to use as they have for many generations. My grandfather was lighthouse keeper of Greenpoint lighthouse and this promenade featured in practically every weekend of my childhood. When he was old and in awheelchair we would push him along and he would tell stories of them bathing on the beach when he was a child and of the fishing boats, etc. I have eaten a hundred ice creams walking along the promenade, learnt to rollerskate on the promenade and had my first kiss on the promenade. Places like this feature in so many peoples lives and belong to the community. Keep it as it is so other generations can walk along it and remember the important things that happened to them in this place and so others a hundred more important things can happen to other individuals in this very special place.

There is absolutely no need to spoil one of our most scenic and public recreation areas on the seafront. So many people, young and old, are able to utilize this area and how devasting if it is taken away. This may well be the only place the elderley are able to walk along the promenade.

LEAVE IT ALONE for all to enjoy as it is. We have enough hotels, apartments and shops, many of which are not even making enough money to pay their rentals.

This creeping commercial exploitation at the cost of the few scenic public spaces left to the people of Cape Town will only escalate the encroachment along the coastline and mountain reserve area. I am against it.
