Level, no cross roads, no obstructions, leads to all areas of Cape Town. Involves some expropriation but mostly simply widening or demolition. Cost effective and practical. Linked green corridors to allow migration of insects, avifauna and mammals. More Parks such as Two Rivers Urban Park, needs formalising and linked via river systems to other open (POS) areas.
