(haipo) - Talfiot Market in Haifa, one of the oldest and most beloved markets in the city, is in the midst of a significant change. As part of the municipality's efforts to upgrade the market, the merchants began a progressive transition process from minus one floor to the renovated and bright entrance floor. The project, which was widely supported by the city's residents and the merchants themselves, but its implementation was delayed for a significant period of time for various reasons, most of which are not completely clear. With the changes that have taken place in the market, hope for a promising future is rising, accompanied by a feeling of refreshing renewal and alongside it also concerns and not a few doubts.

The repeated delays and the continuous expectation
The transition process of the traders has been delayed several times over the past year, leading to disappointment among the traders and residents. "We were promised that we would move about six months ago, but we had to wait and face uncertainty," says one of the veteran traders. The repeated delays made the anticipation an often frustrating process, but now that the transition is underway, there is renewed hope that things are indeed moving forward.
Minus one floor is almost empty
Minus one floor, which until now was the heart of the market's activity, now seems almost completely empty. The sales stands were abandoned and left empty, which makes for an exciting and sad sight at the same time. The area is dangerous and should not be approached until the comprehensive renovation planned for this floor is completed. A glimpse of the emptying market reflects the change and renewal to come, but also the challenges that are expected to accompany the process.
The traders are happy, but there are problems
The merchants are satisfied overall and note the improvement that the move brings, but as expected from such a move, it is not without problems. Some merchants complain about a lack of storage space for goods. "The move to the entrance floor is welcome, but we don't have enough space to store all the goods," number one The old merchants The municipality promises to address the issue and find solutions, but currently, the merchants are forced to face the new reality and adapt to the changes.
Customers are satisfied and look forward to the continuation
The customers and residents who visit the market express satisfaction with the move and the improvements. "The market looks much better now," says one of the buyers. "The atmosphere is pleasant, the place is clean and tidy, and the market seems to be going in the right direction." The local residents look forward to the continued cultivation of the market and the renovation of the additional floors that are still abandoned. The general feeling is one of optimism and anticipation of a better future for the market, with the hope that the municipality will continue to invest and ensure its prosperity.
Temporary transition and promises for the future
The move to the entrance floor is only temporary. The goal is to thoroughly renovate the minus one floor, so that the use of the entrance floor should be for one year only, until the renovation of the minus one floor is completed and the merchants can return to it. The new entrance floor has fans that help deal with the heavy heat that summer brings, but of course air conditioners are better, which should be included in the renovation of minus one floor where the merchants will return, according to the plans, in about a year.
Looking ahead
The smoking ban on the new entrance floor is also a refreshing innovation that contributes to the pleasant experience and the feeling of cleanliness.
The general feeling in the market is one of optimism and expectation for the continuation, in the hope that within a reasonable time the additional floors will also be taken care of and the market will continue to develop and become a vibrant and prosperous center. The merchants and buyers alike hope that the municipality will continue to invest and ensure the development and prosperity of the market in the future.
The news corporation lives here will continue to accompany the renewal process of the Talpiot market and the challenges associated with it. We will continue to follow the developments in the market project, until its long-awaited completion.
Thanks to Roy Haravan for the spectacular photos: Minus one floor, which the merchants left, which is now temporarily abandoned in anticipation of the start of renovations.
so sad !
It is still not clear why a center is not made
About the right to sell there ??????
Why should those who don't get there finance this project?????!!!
Is this called renovation? What a disappointment! We have waited so long! what did we get Is this called conservation? insulting! Amateur work. How we fell with this corrupt municipality!
fraud. 80 million for what... and for how long. For a tenth of the amount, a Tel Aviv contractor specializing in reconstruction such as Gravy would make the place better again within two years, including environmental development. I don't believe anyone, criminal neglect of every historical place in this city, it's systematic and institutionalized, and deliberate. The library in Carmel that burned down and was abandoned for a decade, the Hayat Orchard, the Byzantine archeology at Tel Shekmona that is crumbling, the Eliyahu Cave that took 5 years to renovate and left piles of scrap and destruction all around, Hecht's villa that was sold to private hands, Wadi Saliv 80 years of abandoned properties and more and more and there is nothing here and there never will be , the few gems in the city that do look good are simply in the private hands of the capable.
The money goes to hundreds of senior officials in the Haifa municipality and another 2,000 retirees.
Everything is a farce, doing the least of the least of the least...
The building had to be demolished and rebuilt with several floors of parking lots, elevators and modern systems.
The renovations are minimal cosmetics and of course the outside does not take care of the market and the hazards around it.
The treatment of public buildings in the municipality in Zion.
Every word and letter is true in the rock!
