CT station upgrade almost complete

The Cape Town Station 2010 upgrade, currently being carried out at an estimated cost of R418m, has entered the final phase of construction.The project, most of which will be completed before the 2010 FIFA World Cup, is part of a longer-term revitalisation plan, with Phase Two of the redevelopment scheduled to begin after the event.The extensive remodelling, which began in September 2008, includes substantial upgrades to the existing 1960s building, which had become seriously degraded and functionally inefficient; the relocation of the long-distance bus facility; and significant improvements to the formal and informal trading spaces.
While the station will remain ¡°a flagship transport node¡±, there will also be a focus on creating ¡°an exciting retail experience¡± through the conversion of the formal and informal trading areas into a premier retail space in the CBD, according to Lindelo Matya, regional manager of Intersite Property Management Services, which is undertaking the station revitalisation programme on behalf of the Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa (PRASA).The aim is to transform these areas, which have until now attracted only passing trade,.
