(live here with the opening of the closed neighborhoods) - The office of the Haifa City Engineer has confirmed that the road construction project of the Kabvir-Neva David neighborhood connecting to the west will soon enter the execution stages and the work on it is expected to begin during this year.
The approval was received in response to a query submitted by the chairman of the Hadash faction, council member Raja Zaatara, regarding the implementation of the project which the finance committee approved in September 2022, and even allocated a budget of 80 million shekels for it and another 15 million shekels, for the planning of additional streets in the incarcerated neighborhoods , which were mentioned as problematic and dangerous in the State Comptroller's reports in case of war, natural disaster and other emergencies.
The plan states that the road is characterized by being winding, slow and close to nature sites, therefore the construction will cause minimal damage to the wadi leading to the cemeteries (Kfar Samir) and the road is not expected to attract drivers looking for a shortcut to the center of Carmel, but will be used mainly by the residents of the neighborhood and the area. The full funding of the project will come from the Haifa municipality and not from a government office.
Councilor Raja Zaatara: "We will continue to monitor the project's progress on the ground as well. The Kabvir neighborhood is developing and attracting young Arab and Jewish couples who join the local residents, and it deserves investment in infrastructure, education, culture, sports and all areas of life."
Councilwoman Shahira Shelbi who participated in the Finance Committee meeting in September 2022, in which a budget of NIS 95 million was approved for the incarcerated neighborhoods: "The issue is extremely necessary in terms of the danger of life hovering over thousands of people in the event of a serious event such as a natural disaster or an emergency, and in terms of easing traffic congestion and improving the quality of life of all residents in the neighborhood."
As you may recall, in 2007 a road plan for Kabir was entrusted to the District Committee for Planning and Construction. In 2009, when the residents of the neighborhood learned about the plan and the decision to build a road that would connect the neighborhood of Kabvir and Neve David, they expressed their displeasure, because they believed that the new road would seriously harm their quality of life, so they submitted their objections. Since then, many years have passed in which, as we know, severe events occurred in the region, including the Carmel disaster in 2010, and the great fire in Carmel (Romma) in 2016, events that resulted in lessons being learned, and about which it was written in the State Comptroller's reports that it is necessary to pave escape routes, not only in the Kabvir neighborhood, but in all The closed neighborhoods in Haifa, including Carmelia, Dania, Ramat Golda and more.
In 2022, Mayor Dr. Einat Kalish Rotem announced that according to the plan she formulated, two-lane roads will be paved along the wadis, rather than four lanes that will connect the neighborhoods trapped on the Carmel ridge to the west. These are winding roads and not high-speed roads, which will allow entry and exit from the neighborhoods in a new way, as well as access to the road 2 Without the need to go through the Carmel axis. As mentioned, the first road to be paved and the works for its construction should begin this year, is the Kabbir road.
Why this excavation? Why destroy a lot of nature? Why not in the tunnels? Then allow a spiral road with a low gradient
Blah blah blaha not mushy not plastered
The construction of this road is a very important thing. Shabbat Shalom.
We will wait and see what will be done and what will be postponed.
The absence of the approved Tadal Street from 1941 (Plan 1/XNUMXD; approved for execution from the north and parallel to the streets: Tel Mana, Aharon Alley and said to connect with the continuation of Harofeh Street - connecting Harofeh Street to the Carmel Ridge axis through Mapo Street, on one side, and its connection (so The Carmel Ridge axis via Mapo Street) to the coastal plain via the future Tel Aharon-Lincoln neighborhood) from the map of road connections and the list of roads to solve the closed neighborhoods is also a serious omission. It arises from unrelated reasons, with a heavy suspicion of corruption, it creates a serious danger of death for some of the residents of the houses on Tel Street Mana and its surroundings; but what is the importance of human life when there is apparently damage to the green landscape for someone else?? or the expected disturbance from the noise of the cars?? The disturbance to some is more important than the risk of death to others - this is the essence of the Haifa theory of corruption on one foot.
As usual..,.. the worst municipal engineer there is……from the densest neighborhood you take a road…… instead of Carmelia…..
He's not the worst. I know an architect much worse than him.
She also has more convictions from the court.
The Ramat Gural plan is expected to go through a renewed discussion in the district committee, which was not happy, to say the least, to uphold the decision of the district court in this matter; It is important to continue to hurt the landowners and the public in general, and most importantly, to hide the court's decision and the need to hold a renewed hearing in the district committee from the public in general and the landowners in particular; This is how certainty is produced in the state and municipality publications in general and on the Semin planning site, in particular. This is how corrupt investors encourage, alienate and frustrate those investors who are looking for certainty and reliability; This is also how the city looks and not from today.
Why do you think to yourself when you write that the Ramat Goral plan will return for a renewed discussion in the district committee? After all, the municipality declared and published that the plan was approved and this is certainly the truth. I and my friends who are now buying lots in Ramat Gural after the approval of the plan will testify to this, and I even know of friends who received property tax bills from the municipality. After all, it cannot be that if the plan is not approved, the municipality will hide it from the public and demand an improvement tax.
Do you think the mayor would risk such serious cheating? Do you think these are scammers? After all, if your words were true, could the mayor sue personally for huge sums?
In connection with the road connections and the closed neighborhoods, it is appropriate and correct to mention the Ramat Gural plan - entered into force in December 2021 - they were supposed to produce a transportation solution that prevents a closed neighborhood, while draining the traffic from the entire area to road 11 and from there to road 4 to the coastal plain, but this was not done!!!!!!
The idea is to block the city and prevent the realization of the construction, so that the Ramat Begin neighborhood will continue its 'stubbornness' to be a closed and dangerous neighborhood. Why 'stubbornness', because that's how the city's financials want to promote corrupt interests; This is how you can perform better in the upcoming elections - we prevented the realization of the construction in Ramat Gural so they can pat themselves on the back, by the way we also stuck the Morot Golda neighborhood and in fact the whole city; There is of course a suspicion of conflicts of interest, some of it was dealt with in court, this of course does not help, who counts the court, the planning authorities and the municipality of Haifa, certainly - and certainly they do not count the court and do not implement its decisions, its rulings and the commitments of the state attorney's office given to the court - This is how they create anarchy and seriously harm the land owners, the transportation solutions, and the public in general.
It is possible to plan and implement, instead of the illusory road with a 13% gradient, an alternative road with a much milder longitudinal gradient - then the road can also be used for traveling by bicycle (for traveling uphill and downhill) and for walking - something that is foreign to the city's wealthy generation in our shift, anyway they mostly travel by car and on the traffic jams. As we know, it is important to produce severe traffic failures, and all the more is fine - this is the only way to get billions or tens of billions of NIS from the state budget to create transportation solutions (some of them virtual and imaginary) - whose execution will be managed by the right parties - at least in part the producers of the transportation failures - And the bonus for the project managers also goes far, far to future generations, that's how things are going here in Halem, sorry, in Haifa.
The road that connects the Kabbir neighborhood to the coastal plain, to the Neve David neighborhood is supposed to be very important - but it was planned and approved by a serious mistake; The longitudinal slope of a significant part of this new road is 13% - this is a serious planning failure. In extreme cases, a connection between residential neighborhoods and roads with such a problematic slope can be approved; The duty of the planning authorities, as well as the municipality of Haifa and the State of Israel is to provide quality roads that provide good accessibility - this is not a 13% slope; On the other hand, who are the public authorities counting us ????
It is very important to create roads from the axis of the Carmel ridge towards the west and a connection to the coastal plain; This is the planning from the British Mandate period that was frozen over 50 years ago due to a serious failure; The entry into force of the outline plan for Haifa - HC/2000 returned the issue to the public agenda - HC/2000 requires the construction of the important roads - in most cases, together with the establishment of the residential neighborhoods that were approved during the British Mandate period and were frozen by the city's sages from 16.5.1968 until now This day... the temporary escape routes to the imprisoned neighborhoods are not at all relevant to what needs to be done, there is a need for quality planning - not destruction and vapors and verdant mountain ranges on a temporary route; A real necessity of saving human life, they produce a plan that will be thrown in the trash and there are those who will benefit from it.
