Cape Town Station Re-development

Cape Town Station Re-development project in Cape Town, Western Cape. This project includes a range of new shops along Strand Street and the re-organization of both the informal traders, renovations to the existing station building and the relocation of the long-distance bus terminal. The revamp will extend beyond 2010, but certain major features will be completed by March/April 2009. The station deck would be reserved for informal trading, but with lockable permanent stalls. None of the traders already working on the station deck would be asked to move. There would also be some office space on the deck. Cape Town Tourism would have an office at the station. Project value: R418 million.
