The Greater Tygerberg Partnership (GTP) recently installed the last part of the mosaic artwork in De Lange Street. Not all are positive about the project, however, with one critic saying a mosaic on a random pavement that virtually nobody will see is not what Tygerberg needs. MORE ATTRACTIVE AREA The project, partly funded by Safe2Park, hopes to make the area a safer and more attractive place for all that use it. It includes 35 tiles adorning the pavement, all celebrating the different cultures of people using the area. Lines connect the tiles, which ultimately lead pedestrians to see the whole scope of the project. Mercia Kleinsmith, chair of Subcouncil 6, thanked those involved in the project, at the unveiling ceremony. It is an honour and a privilege to have been part of the final stage of the beautification project of the sidewalk in De Lange Street. CRITICISM The post about the project was barely put on social media, before criticism was posted on the GTPs wall. There is no difference between this and the ANC changing street names. To distract from the fact that very little of value is being done, Sean Parker, a resident said. Another social media user said the are would look better and be safer if the sidewalk squatters were removed.
