The Greater Amman Municipality began on Thursday the removal of tree obstructions planted on sidewalks that hinder pedestrian movement, with the aim of enhancing public safety, facilitating pedestrian traffic, and ensuring optimal use of facilities.
These works come within the framework of the Municipality's approach toward providing an urban and healthy environment more suitable for pedestrians by removing obstacles that limit the flow of movement on sidewalks, while taking into account the needs of the elderly, children, people with disabilities, and users of strollers.
It aims to improve the quality of life in the city by creating a prepared environment that encourages citizens to practice walking, especially in inner neighborhoods, contributing to promoting a healthy lifestyle for the city's residents and visitors.
Municipality crews are working to evaluate tree locations according to the nature of each site, sidewalk space, and pedestrian traffic needs, dealing with trees that have become an obstacle to movement, affect sidewalk infrastructure, or obstruct the view of signs and directional boards.
The Greater Amman Municipality emphasized that removing some trees does not mean abandoning its approach to increasing green spaces, but rather comes within the framework of reorganizing landscaping to suit the nature of the sites and the city's needs.
