The completion of the reconstruction process of Moshoeshoe Road in Bloemfontein is, among others, one of the major stalled projects Siyonzana is set to tackle. He states the 100-day plan will include the reopening of main roads to ease traffic flow. In addition, concerns over failed roads will be addressed and maintenance projects of roads will be detailed in due course. 

Residents of Bloemfontein have been complaining about the unfinished Moshoeshoe Road, and the completion of the road is hoped to help restore community confidence in municipal leadership.  

Siyonzana is also set to report back to the community about the status of the Bloemfontein Zoo within his first 100 days in office. This is after the Department of Small Business Development, Tourism and Environmental Affairs (Destea) temporarily closed the gates to the public in 2019. To make a decision, he will engage all relevant stakeholders on the legacy and relocation of the zoo.
