Saxonwold and Parkwood Residents Association (Sapra) embarked on a campaign to repaint all street names on curbs.
The campaign was managed by committee member, Ilan Sparrius and kicked off on August 2 with the main objective of painting visible street name signs to aid navigation and enhance the look and feel of the neighbourhood.
All street name signs in Saxonwold, Parkwood and around Zoo Lake were painted, with 703 street name signs in 53 streets and 131 intersections, which equals 2.1km of curbstones, having been repainted.
“This upgrade was long overdue and we’ve had such a positive response. Ilan is a true Sapra hero and a great asset to the team,” said chairman, Bill Haslam.
The association will launch a Pavement Competition in the next few weeks. Details of prizes and entry forms will be available soon on the Sapra Facebook page and www.sapra.org.za
New residents of the suburbs can register as members of the association on the website.
