The City will continue its execution of the so-called Operation Restore tomorrow in the CBD.
The operation will clamp down on illegal taxi drivers and will impound unroadworthy minibus taxis.
Metro police, traffic services and law enforcement will be present at the blitz operation.
Mayoral Committee member for Safety and Security, JP Smith says the “decision follows the tragic death of Mr Kevin Brooks after his motor cycle was hit by a mini-bus taxi”.
The under aged, unlicensed driver of the taxi, was trying to escape being fined by a traffic officer.
The 17 year old turned himself in to police and the vehicle is still being held by the City.
“While the City continuously engages in law enforcement on taxis, of which statistics will be made available tomorrow, we have also decided to undertake Operation Restore when a taxi causes harm or injuries to a City staff member or a member of the public,” said Smith.
