5.5.7 DESIGN OF GREEN AREAS
AND PEDESTRIANIATION OF THE
MAIN INTERNAL STREET
Key Partners
Mall Managers, CA, and Shop owners/keepers,
Street Vendors, 6th of October University
Project Description
The aim of this intervention is to utilize the un-
used green areas adjacent to the 6th of Octo-
ber University to increase the pedestrian area,
parking spaces and public open space activities.
In addition, a new vehicular street is proposed
parallel to the 6th of October University to di-
rectly access the proposed multi-story park in
the location of the exiting parking area.
This area could also be used to relocate the
street vendors.
This proposal is dependent on the required de-
tailed traffic and mobility study.
Proposed Activities
• Design the street section according to
acceptable standards and international
guidelines.
• Demarcation 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.
• Relocation of street vendors
• Use of low cost materials to avoid increas-
ing the land value.
