JRA spruces up Region A streets
JRA has already completed the repainting of street names in areas such as Lonehill and Sunninghill in the past financial year.
JOHANNESBURG SOUTH – Johannesburg Roads Agency (JRA) will, in the current financial year, spend a significant portion of Region A’s R24-million maintenance budget on ensuring that street names in several suburbs, townships and commercial areas are clearly visible.
JRA’s acting managing director, Mpho Kau, said the agency has a responsibility to ensure that residents find their way around their neighbourhoods easily. “Many of the street names in our areas are not visibly displayed. That is why we are painting or repainting the street names on the curbs where necessary,” said Kau.
The JRA has already completed the repainting of street names in areas such as Lonehill and Sunninghill in the past financial year.
Region A areas that will benefit from this drive include Rabie Ridge, Ebony, Ivory Park and Kaalfontein. Region A includes urban centres such as Dainfern, Farmall, Chartwell and informal settlements with robust commercial activity located around Lanseria and Grand Central airports and in the Midrand CBD.
In the current financial year the JRA will also invest at least R41-million of its capital expenditure budget in road reconstruction projects, improvement of both roads in highly populated areas and gravel roads in agricultural areas.
