The proposed development of the R82 Activity Spine w ill be undertaken based on the concept of a desire line betw een tw o major nodes, w ith land uses distributed along the desire line like beads on a string. This concept is expounded below and illustrated in FIGURE 7.2. • Major Nodes: The R82 currently functions as a desire line betw een the City of Johannesburg and the Vaal Triangle complex (Vereeniging/Vanderbijl Park/Sasolburg). These complexes constitute the major nodes in the proposed spine development. For the spine to operate effectively the functioning and strong attraction betw een these nodes are essential. Development of smaller nodes along the spine should not compete w ith or detract from these major nodes. • Beads on a String: To create the “beads on a string” structure, interchanges with smaller nodal development are required at regular intervals along the spine. There are already strong concentrations of uses in specific areas with the potential for nodal development. The nodes need to be clearly designated and development of these areas should be stimulated in support of this structure. Development outside these designated areas should be managed in accordance with the Development Framew ork and Guidelines for the spine to strengthen the nodes along the corridor. The nodal structure is also conducive to effective public transport as destinations are created along the route. • Mobility and Access: A key element in the development of the spine is the appropriate balance of mobility and access. The R82 w ill be upgraded to K- route standard (K57) w ith a higher priority given to mobility than access. There will be no direct access to land uses along the spine w ith intersections spaced at 600 metre intervals. In areas w here there is a deviation betw een the existing R82 and the proposed K57-route, specifically in De Deur and Walkerville, the development of a service road on the current alignment of the route or an additional service road is possible. Direct access w ill be possible from the service road to adjacent land uses. As part of the development of the R82 as an activity spine emphasis should be placed on public transport. Nodal development along the route should make appropriate provision for public transport facilities and specifically bus and mini-bus taxi ranks and public conveniences. Protection of mobility along the route is imperative and an appropriate balance should be achieved betw een promoting development and protecting the function of the road. Examples of corridor development in other areas of Gauteng have show n that development along corridors eventually strangulate traffic flow that leads to suffocation of the uses. Although development is encouraged along the R82 in line w ith the concept of corridor development, the scale and intensity of development should be limited to prevent such strangulation. The development of alternative north/south routes should be promoted and especially the K47 and K77. • Adequate Densities and Continuity: The development of the R82 activity spine should be supported through continuity in development and adequate densities. This emphasises the need to stimulate designated development areas to create continuity along the spine w ith adequate concentrations of residential and non-residential uses in favour of public transport.

7.2.5 Framework Principles The follow ing principles w ere applied in deciding on desirable and permissible land uses along the R82 Activity Spine: • Protect the existing major nodes in the region and specifically the CBD’s and industrial areas of Meyerton, Vereeniging and Vanderbijlpark. • Limit and manage development permitted along the R82 to protect the mobility function of the route. • Protect the existing rural character and associated tourism potential of Midvaal. • Limit land use changes for business purposes to properties directly fronting onto the R82 Activity Spine. The highest order land uses should be directly adjacent to the road w ith a decline in the intensity and scale of uses away from the road. • Protect the farms and agricultural holdings in the area for agricultural and rural residential purposes. • Promote the development of alternative north/south routes that could compliment the R82 and R59, specifically the K47 and K77. 7.2.6 Nodes In order to apply the principles and development concept to the proposed Activity Spine, a nodal structure is proposed w ith a differentiation in uses betw een the various nodes. The purpose of the nodes is to concentrate similar and supportive uses in specific areas, thereby stimulating economic forces. Due to the fact that the land uses are attracted to the R82 to make optimal use of the road frontage, the nodes are linear in form. The follow ing nodes are proposed: Proposed Nodes Tedderfield Walkerville Golf View Balmoral Estates De Deur Proposed Function Agricultural and local service node Highest order node: community service node Community service node Building supplies and motor vehicle trade Community services and motor vehicle trade FIGURE 7.2 clearly demarcates the properties that front onto the proposed Activity Spine in the nodes and that should be included as part of the development of the nodes. In the case of Walkerville and De Deur w here there is a deviation betw een the existing alignment of the R82 and the proposed alignment of the K57, properties fronting onto both the existing and proposed road w ere included. This implies that the existing businesses w ill be protected and that new businesses could develop betw een the tw o roads. 7.3 Lesedi Node and Corridor 7.3.1 Study Area The Lesedi SDF seeks to ensure the sustainable and orderly development of the municipal area through the delineation of several activity nodes and development corridors to concentrate and accommodate development initiatives.The development SDM DITP, 2008 to 2013 105 31 Aug 2010
