5.5.4 PEDESTRIANIZATION OF
THE STREET PARALLEL TO THE
“SYRIAN PASSAGE”
Project Description
The aim of this intervention is to:
• Improve the street section of the internal
street parallel to the Syrian Passage, and
relieve pressure from it.
• Pedestrianize the central part of the “Divid-
ed from al-Tahrir” street.
The internal street parallel to the “Syrian Pas-
sage” is a good potential for pedestrianization
as it has low vehicular and high pedestrian
flows.
In addition, the pedestrianization of the central
part of the “Divided from al-Tahrir” street could
enhance the pedestrian experience of the area
and reduce traffic jams.
Proposed Activities
• Design the street section according to
acceptable standards and international
guidelines.
• Demarcate of the different functions of
public open space activities, including shop
extensions, street vending stalls, pedestri-
an paths, and street furniture.
• Improve and maximize pedestrian circula-
tion.
• Increase street lighting and vegetation.
• Use of low cost materials to avoid increas-
ing the land value.

ure 100, Figure 101) illustrations of the pro-
posed design intervention.
