The promenade is one of Cape Town's most wonderful assets. It is a safe haven in a world of crime and it is the responsibilty of all those living in this beautiful city to protect this much loved treasure. |

We completely object to the development of the beachfront. It is a place of tranquility and natural beauty which is a gift! It is of importance to so many sectors of our community and there are so many other places where people can shop til they drop! Please leave our beachfront just the way it is!!!! |

The Developers are destroying the city, driven by greed rather than preserving the heritage of the city; green spaces for the public and develop in consultation with the public. Where the public is overwhelmingly against a development they view as detrimental to the well-being of the community, the developer is obliged to listen. |

Myself and many people I know make use of the promenade in seapoint on a daily basis for relaxing outdoor activities. The promenade as it is, is a crucial investment for the wellbeing of all capetonians! |

I grew up in Sea Point and am moving back there this year after 17 years abroad. I have such fond memories of the Beachfront and spent many good times there. I would not like to see it blighted by faceless high-end property development, as places like Clifton have been. Save the Beachfront for all the people of Cape Town! |

The Seapoint Promenade Area should be kept as a public open space. I, and many others, regularly use this area to jog, walk, meet friends, enjoy an ice-cream, do tai-chi, play soccer, walk their dogs and kids , swim,sit in solitude and contemplate the beauty of our surroundings and feel a part of a happy, healthy multi-racial city. Where else in all of Cape Town can all this be done, within easy access to all the people and for free? It is also one of the few places I feel I can still do this safely. The beaches and mountain are no longer safe, especially early mornings and evenings. What makes the promenade unique is the number and great variety of people who use it, its accessibility to all and the fact that it still posesses somewhat of an old-world charm. Let it remain so. A mall can be built anywhere, but nothing can replace what this space means to so many people. Besides, do we really need another consumeristic mall? |

Where is civilization going if 'the fruits of the city' no longer exist? Please, this is so important for our phyci, don't let our beautiful city bacome just another concrete jungle! Please take the time and look at great cities like Sydney where urban design and landscaping has been taken into consideration, it makes ALL the difference. Not even to mention what it does for tourism. If you develop this strip, there is basically no strecth left for a nice long walk at the seside in the city bowl. It would be a very VERY sad day for all of us if you decide to do this...the beauty would be gone FOREVER! |

I fully agree with the sentiments of this pettition.
The City is being planned by irresponsible developers and informal settlers. It is now time that we and our municipal planners start to appreciate one of the World's most beautiful cities in the same way that our visitors do. |

If this project goes ahead it will be the beginning of the destruction of one of Cape Towns most precious amenities. attraction |

If we begin to allow the erosion of public land in Cape Town, how long will it be before other places such as Rondebosch Common, the Zandvlei Estuary and Wetlands, or even the land that falls within the Table Mountain Reserve becomes endangered by privatisation and development? |

I live in Goodwood but work in the City Bowl and frequently take walks on the Seapoint promenade. I vehemently object to any development that would advance the already loathsome colonisation of Cape Town by materialistic values and super rich foreigners, and that would dispossess the people of this city of yet another portion of its natural gifts. |

The Sea Point promenade is one of the most attractive features of this city, a place where you can breath fresh air, enjoy a view over the ocean, walk, talk and meet people. Its loss would be immeasurable and prove that nothing but nakes greed and rampant capitalislm has come to rule our decision-making. What has happened to our community spirit? |
